What is this?

did you check the exhaust is still on it? people have been known to swipe them. ridiculous but true.

lol yea the exhaust still on it. you got any other ideas? Ill find out soon enough, gonna phone the garage in the morning, probably get booked in for monday. Just wondering if its a major problem or what and how much it will cost.

Just cant understand how it can be running sweet then two hours later i start it up and it sounds like a bag of spanners lol

[gazareth]

any chance of foul play like someone jamming something in your tailpipe? did you park in enemy territory lol? oh is it an obd2 engine?

[VR6_Mark]

I dunno what it is. Its a 1998.

[gazareth]

ah ok. well the obd1 had an ignition distributor and the obd2 had a coilpack. so it could be your coilpack that's failing. does it have a misfire and stinking of petrol?

[VR6_Mark]

Maybe it cud be. Thats interesting cuz i have to take it to a different guy if its electrical. There is no smoke coming from the exhaust tho.

[gazareth]

any decent garage should be able to diagnose a bad coil pack. going by what you have said that would be my first port of call. let us know how you get on yeah?

[VR6_Mark]

Its booked in for tomorrow morning, so I will find out tomorrow. Its a decent garage, usually takes a week to get in.

If its is the coilpack, how much will it cost? About £80 im thinkin?
