Another Problem :( Mk4 Golf Gti Spluttering / feel like is on 3 cylinders
Hey Everyone,
Another problem has come about to add to the countless problems ive had in the last 12 months,
I filled up yesterday morning a full tank of fuel from BP Ultimate.. drove my boss and i to work aproximatly 70kms away the car was running fine then,
at lunch time that day i went to take the car up the road to get some lunch, and it was starting to splutter, felt loads of vibrations from the engine comming through the cabin like it was off balance due to only firing on 3 cylinders??? anyways i pulled over and had a visual inspection of the engine bay, i couldnt see anything out of the ordinary, i could obviously see the engine runing really roughly and spluttering softly,
I took it for a lite test drive around the block to try and isolate the problem, it get alot worse putting the car under any sort of load/ exceleration.. the exhuast sorta of coughs on idle and exceleration
I replaced the spark plugs about 2 hours ago, and it didnt help at all.. stays exactly the same rough AS!!!
Any ideas? coil packs buggered? why would it only start all the sudden and not slowly be loosing power? and it doesnt sound like its missing but im not to sure as the engine's alot quieter than my old skyline. Is there anyway to test the coil packs? as im only sure of how to test out a dizzy type ingnition system?
Or could this all be just really **** fuel? also on the way home last night it was running like crap and then for about 6 km's it ran fine again no problems.. than after the 6km back to crap again?
Any Help would be Greatly appreciated
Thanks, Adam
