I have just started my car and it seems to be less powerfull, the engine mangement light on and TRC light is flashing.

it feels like its going to cut out or not running properly. any one know what this could be?

Is this after any work to the car or did it just start "out of the blue"?

if its coil packs i have some

[Adie]

The same happened to me and it turned out to be a coil pack had gone (plus the spark plug with it).

I think the packs are around £70 new can't remember. Get them checked mate and if it is that then as Mat said he's got some. Be alot cheaper than buying brand new.

I replaced all mine but you only need to replace the one that has gone. I've also got loads kicking around too.

i have just found its number two coil that is dead. Mat did you say you had some? is it easy to fit? how much am i looking at for fitting or can i do it myself.

I went to a local garage and the guy was very helpfull and didnt charge me arm and leg.

Very easy to change mate. Unclip the wire from the top and then undo the 10mm bolt. The coilpack then just pulls out.

With the new one, just put it in, tighten up the 10mm bolt and then clip the wire back on. 5 min job mate :winky:

It kinda helps if you take the engine cover off first :D

Sorry Adie could not resist.

And put the bonnet up ;)

cheers for help everybody, ive bought a coil from a scrappy it feels fine now, the engine management light still on and trc light is still flashing. any ideas or do i just need to rest it?

[Adie]

Reset the ECU mate. It should clear it if the coil pack was the problem. You should always reset the ECU anyway after carrying out work on the engine.
