« on: 02 September 2009, 20:12 »

Hello,

It could be the coil packs?  you need to unplug them one at a time the listen for the engine note to change, then when you found on that dont change the note swap it over with another coil pack to make sure there is power the the coil pack plug.  

Ignition amp will also cause issues and a fecked fuel pump or fuel blocked filter.
