Coil Pack going?
Coil Pack going?
Does the light come on for a coil pack? or any other ideas.

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!
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

Thanks for the link and info, maybe a worthy investment too then anyhow, I know Subaru charged my Dad £70 to read his fault!! It is good to know someone who will just help out here and there and i trust him too and he's always pretty good
It started to struggle about a no more than 2 months ago, but then I put it down to a loose positive on the battery and it was okay for a bit then it started struggling again then it did struggle this morning and this afternoon the engine light came on. Sounds like it could be same as the 106!!

10-12-2016, 07:40 AM #8Well 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.
You're right toxo, the IS300 has 4 O2 sensors.
