Hi all,
Car broke down yesterday and when you remove spark plug lead no.1 then the engine still misfires if you know what i mean, so removing 2,3 and 4 then makes the enging rattle but as i say spark plug lead one doesn't have any effect so looks like i think it's what we called the coil that has gone. (used to be the coil back in the day but this is an electronic system that does the spark to the plugs what ever it's called.
Any way engine management liight was on but it would not talk to the computer from my car, it's parked up out side the garage at the moment, is it a common fault that the the car wont talk or could i buy the diagnostics equipment and software my self or is it mega expensive to get?
i don't like paying a bloke with a system £30 quid to tell me what the falt is to then go and get it fixed.
Thanks
