hey folk my dads car doing my box in its sparkin on all 4 but running on 3 and the injector is gettin power, it is the 3rd cylinder thats not running and i dont understand y i hread sumwhere that these engine do this after around 60000 miles? anyone got any info lol cheers folks

 

What engine?

 

its a 1600 16v a azd engine

 

coilpack being gay?
plug in vagcom or a code reader, the car will know

 

just replaced the coilpacks mate there fine and i did plug it in and it came up with water temp sendeor changed that and no codes now just a nightmare

 

Does it always run on 3 or just at tickover

 

unplug the air mass meter and take it for a spin, if it clears that is your problem.

 

Have heard of this on the VAG forums I use. Not 100% sure but seem to recall the ignition amplifier being a suspect.

Get VAG-com plugged in and see what that returns with

 

They don't have air mass meters

Take the throttle body off and give it a good clean inside.

 

eh, yea they do mate, just done one, they look like this

edit, you are correct just noticed its an azd engine these don't

Some 1.6 engines have a MAF sensors, engines with the Simos injection system, coded AEH, AKL certainly do. These engines have the air filter in a large box on the right (nearside) of the engine compartment and the MAF at the outlet of this airbox

 

not enough boost, disconnect the wastegate pipe and screw the actuator arm as tight as it will go.

 

He will have to fit a turbo first

 

I work for skoda so same difference if the fault is 100% only on one cylinder then that rules out sensors, air flow meters etc as there not cylinder specific. The coil on plugs do go fault on these but if you have already done these then that is that one ruled out.

I would (if you havent already) swap plugs around and see if the fault moves. If that doesnt then swap the injectors round and see if that moves it. If you have VAG com then miss-fire recognition is on measured values 15 (cyl 1-3) and 16 (cyl 4)

Got to be one of them 2 causing the fault I recon.
