My pumas running a large turbo escos engine and im having problems starting it as it sounds like its running on 3 cylinders.

Ive not driven it much for a few weeks due to being skint so ive kept the battery topped up and aim to start it once a week. Now its been starting and warming up fine and running fine for a half our trip to warm up then ive put it back away again!

Now today having not been run for 10 days it sounds like its running on 3 cylinders and barely running. Obviously im not going to drive it like that!!!

Ive checked the leads in right, all the wiring, fluids etc so before i start pulling it to bits i need some advice from a cossie owner as im still quite new to cossies so dont know all thier quirks yet!!!

Im thinking next pull out spark plugs for a look followed by dizzy cap and rotor arm.

Any ideas? Thanks!!

I would clean or replace the plugs first

ah ok so ive fucked the plugs not running it much then

Depending on spec/ecu it could well be and is likely to be fouled plug/s, so as said clean these first, it would not hurt though to first identify the non running cylinder by pulling each lead off in turn, but clean all the plugs anyway.

The engine spec as i got it is:

T35 turbo, BD15 inlet cam, rallycross flowed head, larger throttle body, grey injectors, isky springs, 0.25 overbored, ex-bruno thiry mountune group a block, uprated actuator, pipercross induction kit, 3 bar map sensor, 3" tony law exhaust, coopers rings, long studs, julian godfrey motorsport chip (p8 ECU) with anti-lag, 4.1 bar fuel pressure, group a breather system


So its moderately tuned on P8 ecu if thats what you were after???
