Guys I need help, just had a coil pack replaced and a day after i just lost power while driving. Had to tow it back home.I have checked the fuel pump and pretty sure the alternator is ok. Can anyone recommend looking at other things. I am just lost now.

I checked all the fuses in the engine bay and they all ok. I got a feeling it's either a fuel problem or a electrical problem. I just need to know what the problem is though. If it's electrical then I should be able to sort it out but if it's mechanical then I am stuffed. Someone help please

check the fuses in the drivers side foot well if you blown a fuse there it could cause the problem. other than that i would be checking crank angle sensors

Im going through the same problem right now, but I have the bible. There are a few checks but my problem looks to be the ecu.

Hi guys
Mine had the same problem.
Turned out to be the LV cable connector underneath the right hand coil pack was loose.
Try taking the coilpack off, and see if the connector is pushed right in.

Hi guys its been a while since I could work on my car but managed to get it starting now.It idles really rough and sounds like a tractor.

If I try and take off then it wants to stall. Tomorrow I am going to check all the plugs and leads.

Anyone else have this problem?

No I have not swapped the ecu. I thought i would try checking all the other stuff first.

Does anyone have an ecu I can use just for test purposes please.

I need to get the car fixed cause I am thinking of selling it.

How do I test the igniters and make sure they are good. Do I just have to replace them
