2.8 V6 1995 Not Running On Number 6

[neon]

Hi,

I have a 1995 2.8 V6, it started running rough with lack of power when hot, now it's doing it when it's cold. I have looked at the MAF and it doesn't look damaged or dirty, but when I take off plug lead number 6 at the coilpack, nothing happens to the engine note at any revs. If I take any of the others off, it runs even worse, so I assume it isn't sending power from number 6 on the pack, but can anyone advise why or what to do.

Thanks

:)

It is possible you have a split coil and leads 6 + 1 which are the leads nearest front aren't firing as they go in pairs, you have been running on 4 cylinders take out plugs 6 + 1 look to see if a oily they should be a light brown colour just to confirm .

 

When you take the ht leads off check the resistance on the leads should be around 5ohm's just in case it duff ht leads .If you have have a spare spark plug it into the lead to check leaving all plugs in engine of course. however iam not responsible if you blow yourself up on vaporised fuel :)
