I lost 4 cylinders on the way home, hopefully only a coil. Anyone know the part number for Repco or Supercheap or any other outlet that sells them in Perth?
Thanks guys, I will see if I can locate a coil today. I am hoping its a coil and not something else, two coils run 4 cylinders each, two cylinders on each bank. It sounds like an old tractor and has no power the unburnt fuel causes the exhaust to glow red hot, you will know if it happens
I will check it in the morning its a long weekend in WA so I have 3 days to fix it, I have a spare dizzy cap and rotor as I have not been able to get the cover off on the alternator side, is it different on a 32?

How do you know if you've lost 4 cylinders on the way home?
You can see them laying on the road behind you??
I've had this happen to both our soarers, i'm thinking it's pretty common. It's an easy fix too though. The top one is just removing the cover, and then 4 screws.. The one on the right, just a couple of bolts and then the same 4 screws again.. but you can easily check if it's the problem by unplugging 1 at a time. Unplug 1, and see if the car starts, if it does (and runs like crap still) then plug it back in and check the other, if you unplug the other one and start the car, (doesn't start) then you know the other one is faulty.
I found the other 4 cylinders but now have a miss at 4K revs, starts and runs fine until 4K anyone have any ideas? I will replace the caps in the ECU next.

i had the same thing happen to me 2 months ago distributor rotor & caps were mess up, so i did the whole lot timing belt,water pump all bearings. my car won't rev pass 4k either, it was my AFM.
I am getting the Engine electrical warning and the miss at 4k, I disconnected the AFM to take out the air box and everything is connected back up, other wise it drives ok
