lambyGT Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sat night I ran into a problem on the motorway. Traveling at 70mph an I had a major miss fire so I pulled ober why ther car was running I removed ht leads 1 by 1 to see which one went down pulled 1 out nothing pulled 2 out nothing pulled 3 out car dies started up again pulled 4 out an died I have lost cylinders 1 and 2. Aa came out I had spark n dizzy is all good he said it was a fuel fault so sunday I swapped 1 and 2 injectors round with 3 and 4 and it worked fine also put a vokt meter on the injectors all fine so am getting fuel and spark... what are the chances of 2 pistons failing. Could it be head gasket beetween bores 1 and 2? Anyone had this problem? People r saying compression test but if the gasket has gone I will get a false reading correct? I have noticed sometimes it starts 1st turn of key an sometimes a little longer? It also sometimes revs above 1000rpm n sometimes will drop as normal. Or even to thw point of stalling.

Glanzacoley Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Could have gone between pistons it sounds like headgasket mate similar problem I had do a compression test it should show 180 if it's lower or drops then it could be headgasket mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
