Default OK, Who knows much about EECIV edis then?

just had a call from lennie (who has got my car for a few days whilst i'm im in dublin) and aparently after he picked the car up its started to miss quite badly. will die when idling etc. sounds to me like ts either running on 5 or 4 (remember, v6 )

now if it turns out its only running on 4 and the 2 not firing ll happen to be on the same coil (coilpack x3 wasted spark) wht "bits" will need to be looked at? wht bit of wiring, connectors etc.?

obviously the edis unit itself nd the coilpack itself, but my car is notorious for bad wiring, so that would be 1st place to look...

anyone know how the edis "talks" to the coil and could use that info to work out how to trce a wiring fault if its not firing 1 of the coils?

OR is it case of it will NEVER fre only 2/3 of the coils even if it get a bad signal, therefore the coilpack must be knackered? (or a plug/lead is fooked)


OR my engine just lost a piston doubtfull tho
