Coil Pack going?
Coil Pack going?
What do you guys think, the Lex has been struggling to start from cold (fine when hot) and then today the engine light came on. I thought i heard a misfire but it seems to be fine now although still engine light on.
Does the light come on for a coil pack? or any other ideas.
Cheers
You really need to get the code read. Do you know anyone nearby who you might be able to borrow a reader from ?
My local garage has one so will take it up tomorrow then, he was closed today playing Golf!! Some people eh, I hope it is that nothing too major, thanks for the info.
EDIT - Thanks Toxo, luckily my garage doesn't charge me for it, he made all his money from me fixing my Alfa Romeo
That's good, handy to know people who still understand what being helpful means! Heard plenty of stories of people being charged for reading fault codes, even on cars like mine which you can read with a paperclip
I bought one of these a few months ago, it's already made its cost back diagnosing faults on a 106 and a MK2 clio (my car doesn't have OBD2): http://www.talktoyourcar.co.uk/products/...nMS309.htm
Lets you remove the service indicator when you service your car yourself too
Edit: BTW has this happened recently? Your coil pack could have a crack in it which has let in water / snow in the recent bad weather... that's what was wrong with the 106!

Well it would appear that the code showing is for an oxygen sensor, had the light turned off to see if it was a glitch, otherwise i can only imagine it'll be a genuine part. It could acccount for the stutter on start up as it maybe over or under fueling i guess.
What is the code exactly ? That should tell you which sensor is indicating a fault.
You're right toxo, the IS300 has 4 O2 sensors.
