scotty71 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I would go for coil packs next. Best to see if you can borrow first to see if its that rather than shell out and the problem remains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was, do you have the bonnet scoop undertray fitted? Does it sound like the engine is missing? Is it happening at a particular rpm or all the time? Can you feel/hear the turbos coming online? If it is misfiring, the first thing I'd do would be to remove the spark plugs, if one plug is obviously blacker than the others, this would highlight a problem with a particular plug/coil pack clip/coil pack.

Paul372 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hi Nic, no it wasn't rainning but i do have a uk spec bonnet fitted but it has all the under tray etc fitted to it, it defo sounds like a engine misfire you can hear the turbo's spoolling up nice they seem to be fine, it doesn't happened at a particular rpm it's all the time but occasionally the supe goes back running fine for alittle while then goes back to misfiring again, i'll take all the plugs ouit and take another look, thanks Nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
