Light is still on and sounds and runs like a piece of crap! when u put your foot down it struggles to get to 20mph. 0-30mph in 40 seconds kinda speed.

been like this for 5 weeks now!

Thanks 4 your ideas, anymore?

has the wiring been checked to the coil pack on drivers side? Is it plugged in correctly, is the plug broken any exposed or damaged wires at any point along its length? Fairly sure you should get 12volts to the plug.

Look for anything that would cause that bank not to fire, not just spark. The code is missfire not miss spark. Hth

you want ideas:

It seems like your original problem was actually a combination of two problems.  We've already fixed half of them by earlier advice re the multiplugs.  you now have a problem that is focussed on one bank of cylinders.  This is detective work stuff.  focus on what will cause a full bank to have an ignition problem and what else has happened recently.

The evidence is this: if it were a coil pack failure, it would be totally random - not all three on one bank all at the same time.  conclusion is that it must be a problem related to something that drives that bank of coil packs

Now what has happened recently?  lots of work and evidence that whoever has done the work has already managed to mess up some electronics

As the the above post suggests focus attention on the wiring for the coil packs on the suspect bank, trace and check thoroughly

also, a seperate matter, i hope you are getting money back from the garage that sent your car out in that state.

Thanks 4 the Help, will go and check all the leads.

I have gone through the wiring and everything is ok on that part. I have looked through the manual and the light that flashes is Catalytic converter fault light (engine with propeller ontop lol)

Would that have an impact on the 0300 0301 0303 0305 bank?

Still not working.

Have it booked in to Auto Electronic place on Monday but that is going to cost a bomb so need to get sorted b4 then.

Please help

Bugger, to far from here.

So, just re-cap.

EXACTLY what work was done on the car before this fault occured?

[colin28]

Started 5-6 weeks ago when the Gearbox failed. Had replaced by garage when driving away from the garage the car hardely moved engine light flashing car not driving, I took back to the garage the next day "just getting there" diagnostic machine said multiple misfire 1-3-5 bank, so replaced a few days later, still same thing - car hardely driving, when you put your foot down the engine light comes on and total loss of power, takes 10-15 seconds to reach 20-30mph.

said same code so replaced the coil again, same thing, replaced again, the coil has no been replaced 4 times so it cannot be the coil.

the cables leading to the coil are all in tacked and ok. now the fault codes are

0130
0300
0301
0303
0305

I havent had my car working for 5-6 weeks since gearbox went.

when the fault codes get deleted the car drives well for 10mins then the light comes back on and engine back to square one. total misfire and loss of power.

[Marks DTM Calib]

So....auto or manual?

Did the fault occur before or after the box change?

Did the car run better for a short period when the new coil packs were fitted?

Sorry, trying to get a clear picture of the fault, when it occured, and the application its in.

[colin28]

Auto 2.6 v6

The car was in perfect running condition before the gearbox change.

when the coil gets fitted and the fault codes deleted the car runs perfect for 5-10 mins then the light comes back on and the car has total loss of power. back to square one again.

after codes get deleted and running ok for 5 mins its seems to be when pulling away the fault appears.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Ok....so the codes will not have been cleared since the O2 sensor connectors were switched?

[colin28]

No. Not yet!

[cem_devecioglu]

something playing with timing for this bank, more specific messing with the ecu.. or ecu itself :-/

[colin28]

can I clear the codes or do I need to take to the garage to get the diagnostic machine to do it? If I can do it. How?
