Black Olive is poorly

black olive · 10th January 2009, 19:06

Black Olive has come down with a case of the misfires, is currently running as a V7, and is sounding like a scooby- not nice.

Im suspecting a failing coil pack or plugs- will change the plugs first

Hope she gets better soon.......

Would she like some black grapes bringing round to make her feel better?

Get well soon Black Olive

Still has 3 more cylinders to run on than mine.

Hope you quickly get her sorted.

Any new developments? Mine has started to misfire too, and worse still gets stuck on 4000 revs - just like it had a rev limiter. Going to the doctor tomorrow.

Hi Roger- have now fitted new plugs, and sourced a couple of coil packs.

went out in the car to warm it up, so the fault would show itself, and it only started to do so after I had nearly got back home !!

Engine light is still on , so Ive ordered a fault code reader, to determine which cylinder it is, in order to save having to change multiple coil packs.

yours sounds liek it could be a fuel pressure/ filter type issue ??

got the code reader today.

within 5 minutes had got

P0354 ignition coil malfunction

P0316 misfire detected

P0308 cylinder 8 misfire detected

Changed the coil pack and cleared the fault codes, its now sweet as a nut.

went for a blast tonight, and the CD changer is set on AC/DC "Highway to hell" ready for off to work tomorrow. so thats me one happy bunny.

Got it back and it's running well. They checked the filter and say it's ok. Reset all calibrations as well. In other words, they have no idea what was wrong!!!

But Glad you got her back
