The 'summer car' UPDATE
went to the storage yard to find the soft top in a very sorry state, 3 flat tyres and a dead battery
Previously I had a 'check engine' light come on and rough running. As she passed her MOT (thanks to Stribo coming up and helping out) she was running perfectly on the Torquay run UNTIL I stored her.
So today I replaced the plugs and after a jump from the estate, let her warm up and pumped up the tyres. The battery is obviously now useless as I turned the engine off after and hour and it was still below 12 volts!
Sounded smooth on idle so I took her for a run and immediately under acceleration the check engine light started flickering and she sounds like shes become a FOUR POT car !! A definite 'chuntering' under power???
As previous to storage she didnt have ONE FAULT and now new plugs so could I have a duff coil pack?? So is there a way to trace WHICH C.P is the duffer please??? Apart from rusty discs shes running fine apart from this misfire.
Just looked and Eurocarparts want £43 each for Coil packs???? !!!!!
cheers
