    Hi,thought id better start a new thread . Following on from my previous post, car not running right,error code comming up o'k', i thought id better change over to new leads/plugs,well,made sure not to stuff up the lead/piston count i finished it all in about an hour and guess what, turns over but will not start , at least before it ran!!!!!!, i can hear the fuel pump engage but alas no spark. I called out the raa and he could find nothing obvious ,i even did the error codes again, came up o'k', now im really stuffed !!!, anybody got any ideas ???, thanks..........

    If you don't have spark, it could be the CAS, DFI or coils. If you have access to another set of coils and a DFI module, change them over and see what happens.

    hi, have run driven the car around with a new cas/plugs/leads for a few days now,runs a fair bit better dont know which was of more benefit though !,still runs rougher as the car warms up,so i cleaned out as much of the throttle body as i could get at and i think it made a small improvement at least the revs dont drop so low as to stall the car, i am a bit dissapionted though as i dindt whant to pay for the repairer to have a guess !, and he said it idles o' k' now, it does till it heats up !, new not trust the trade!!, thanks.........
