Miss Fire... 2.5 V6
« on: 20 June 2010, 13:04:45 »
Hi

5 miles from home after my marathon trip to scotland i developed a missfire...
It was a sudden event - up to that was running fine
No eml light (should i check for codes anyway ?

Had a look this morning and theres no spark on 2 (drivers side front) not sure about the other bank but nothing on 2...
Its a constant lack of spark & not failing under load or the such like...
I probably allready know the answer to this - but is it the dis pack ?... i guess what im asking is has anyone had a single cyl fail on one - leads should be ok (fairly new & lucas ones) but i'll get a spare to try & theres no sign of tracking anywhere (parked in a dark spot last night )

Cheers

Steve

If its the dis pack you will have no spark on two cylinders. If its only no 2 not sparking its going to be the plug or lead ;)

Check lead and plug first.

Cheers pete - what i figured - I'll stick a finger in the leads on the other bank  :o  it is possible that it has a cyl down on the passenger side but the leads are a pain to pull...

Any idea how there configured? as it fires on the other 2 pots on the drivers side bank

Thanks Again
