droped off my son started car and it sounded crap.. like a subaru, drove it a bit, not much loss of power but sounded terrible, stoped and turn off, started again and still the same!! drove it a bit more then it jumped into life as it should drive, done a bit of reading so im guesing its the coil packs :angry:..... or could it be somthing else? oh and my service light has just came on, routine one.

This is the first step you need to take before spending any money on it.

tried a hand held jobby and it didnt work. il have to find my proper cable :sad: and give it a try.
-
Just a warning, the AGU won't give many codes and definitely won't show the ignition amp as a fault
-
Ignition amp won't bring up a code, but if its an agu then 99.99% that's your problem. Sounds fine on idle but then a few revs and its burbles like an impreza.
Had the same on mine and got a 2nd hand amp for 20 off eBay. Had planned to replace with a new one if it cured the fault but its still going a year later with no trouble

cant see a service helping much its more than likely the ignition amp with the symptoms you have posted an coil packs hardly ever fail on the agu :smiley:

i know but needed service anyway. garage just called. as people said no faults for coils or ignition amp but it is throwing up a code for the ECU?? would this be because its remaped tho? told the man ive a ignition amp coming so il try that and if thats not the problem ive to put it back down to them :angry:.. heres hoping its the amp!!
-
said it doesnt sound like a missfire just sounds like its running rough,,, no sh!t sherlock!!!!!! il get it home and whip off the amp ready for my one coming tomorow. when i said to him it may be the amp he asked whats that?????? he,s the mechanic,lol
-
