[big_ralge]

Hi all my galaxy started to run on 3 cylinders the other day so i changed the plugs ht lead and tested the coils, run great for 10 mins then back to 3 cylinders please please has anyone any ideas on why it's doing this and how it can be sorted i don't fancy paying garage prices if i can help it.

 

Many Thanks

apologies I'm not as clued up as most, but just to start you off...

 

if after changing the leads it was good for a bit and then started again, would that imply its something upwards from the plugs ??

 

I dunno are there still distributors in cars ? do they have "points" ?

could you have moisture in your HT coil ? (WD40!)

 

just to get you started till the big boyz get here..

Hi big ralge, i had a problem similar to this a couple of years ago on a 2.0 litre petrol espace, the symptons were the same all pots had a spark and were getting fuel but it was running lumpy on three cylinders, it turned out i had a sticky valve that was not opening and closing as it should, just a thought,good luck
