No spark, its doin my head in.
« on: 14 March 2011, 13:12:04 »
no spark at number 1 cylinder. Anybody have any ideas. Could it be a sensor. I have racked my brains.  spark on number 4 but not on number 1. Ruled out leads and plugs. Thanx guys i have run this before on here but its doin my head in. This happened when i was driving normaly i could feel the miss as soon as it happened.  ;D

you say you have ruled out plugs and leads ? how did you do this ? do you get a spark when plug is put into a different lead?  also do you get a spark if No1 lead and plug is put into another position in the dispack? also try a known good lead and plug into No1 on the dispack, it has to be something to do with either leads, plugs or dispack i cant see anything else stopping just No1 plug not to spark  ;)
but could be wrong  :-?

right lads, i hsve a 2001 V6 2.5. I have tried the number 1 lead in number 4 and i have a spark when i put the same lead and plug into number 1 i hae no spark. yhe car seems to run ok but for the miss in niber 1. When i tried a different DIS pack the faut is the same. I have changed the near side head gasket so i will re check the timing. Could anybody have any idea. I have booked it in for i diagnostic but im not holding my breath, Cheers for your patience guys.
