Can anyone confirm if this sounds like coil packs or dirty fuel?
I was waiting at the lights last night and the car stalled completely. I restarted it and the car was definantly running on 3 cylinders. I drove off to pull over to a car park when the engine management light started flashing.. after about 3 seconds it stopped and the car was working great again!
I brimmed the tank from another petrol station and took her for a few "speed" runs to try and get as much crap through the injectors etc
However this morning at the lights the same thing happened.. I had to rev the car slightly to stop it stalling and this time the engine mgmt light did not come on.. again I got round the corner literately 50 meters and the car was fine again..
from reading it sounds like the pencil coil packs may have gone? If so are these a DIY job to fit and where can I get some ?
