only firing on 2 cylinders ?

[waynerz wide arch]

morning all.........

i have a predicament.....

306 1.8 xs

was out the other nite playin with my flame kit..... reved it up to flame and ended up blowing out MY CAT..... i think most of it has now been blown out the rear end now BUT... when it went the engine manidgement light came on and now runs lumpy as fook..... i have pulled off the injectors one by one ..... and starting from the PASSENGER SIDE...... the 1st PLUG made no diffrence 2nd did also 3rd AND 4TH DID NOT either soo im asuming injectors 1 - 4 ARE DOWN ??

i have pulled number 1 out and stuck a 12v feed to it and makes a click noise asuming its working ??

ALSO have replaced ALL 4 spark plugs too

im pretty sure the CAT is empty as i had to BEAT it with a hamer to shif the loose crap inside rattling around

it only has 1 lambda sensor too and its BEFORE the CAT

hope this info helps to somone who may held shed some light on my predicament

cheers waynerz

Dont drive around like a chav with a flamer kit?!

[waynerz wide arch]

1 i dont drive around " like a chav " and 2 was askin a serious question
thank for the intelligent reply :-)

[Oil-burner]

To be fair that was an intelligent answer, if you didn't 'drive round like a chav with a flame kit' all would be fine and dandy!

:troll:

[Niall]

Yep them kits are shit not to mention illegal. If your lucky, it's a coincidence and the Coil pack has given up (there's only two on the 1.8, one for 1 and 4 and one for 2 and 3 I think)

[puglove]

Just -

[waynerz wide arch]

just changes coil pack ans can only see the 2 center plugs sparking still ????

[puglove]

What does the flame kir consist of? I.e what have you hooked up to what? I assume its drawing power from somthing somwhere?

[waynerz wide arch]

to be fully honist its not attached to nothing ..... its a spark plug on rear of exhausts and a coil pack mounted inside the car then a switch

[Ed Doe]

The word 'exhaust' does not have an 'l' in it. Neither does the plural of the aforementioned word. Thanks

Someone clearly didn't get their leg over last night!!

[waynerz wide arch]

oh and as i havent put a 2nd seprate switch to the coil pack....... i have to pull the plug from the coil pack to make the unburnt fuel still head to the rear and ignight via the plug on the back

These engines are really sensitive to changes in fueling. Your really not doing it any favours!! Get rid of the kit. They look shit, are illegal, wreck your car and make you look like a tool.

^^^ this, a flame kit is a good way to f*ck up your car, get points on your license and look like a twat...

[darrenjlobb]

So wait, your switching a coilpack for a plug in the pipe for the flames, and also switching an engine coilpack ON PURPOSE to send unburnt fuel back there? Please tell me ive read that wrong..

But if so, its a bit of a coincidence that theres randomly a coil pack down, and you have modded the wiring to switch it off on demand...rip it off / put it back how it should be, epic fail x 10

Unless your staring in the new fast and furious, then it's well sick!

[JackLewis_Dturbo]

naahh!

i has a flamer kit on ma diesel, its sick init bruv!

[Matt]

Who needs a flamer kit when mine pops flames anyway? Haha


Flamer kits make you look like a cock. Reviving your engine to start done flames probably out of one of your 10 exhausts.
Seriously take it off, return it all to standard. Problem solved!

Alright no need to flame him. Each to their own!

See what I did there? Get it?....flame......I get my coat.

[KrisB]

Serious answer alert!!!

You've either still got something in the cat, blocking it. Or a common problem on the XU petrol engines after a de-cat is that the centre box blows itself apart inside.

[Jonny81191]

Scrap the flamer kit, even if it don't solve the issue, they're chavvy and pointless.

Like having 6 massive exhausts.

[cully]

switching coil packs while on line working is a bad idea you possibly have fried the output in the ECU

[JackLewis_Dturbo]

   

[Dum-Dum]

If its not a coil pack id agree with cully and suggest you may of fried the ECU, theyer a known weak point on the 1.8s and removing and refitting a plug while the car is running could well of caused a spark to jump and fried it.

[KrisB]

May I steal that pic of the scooby zorst? Lol

[THE_Liam]

Too much back pressure tbh.

[Ruan]

I'll put money on the ignition drivers in the ECU being fried as I'll bet you're lifting the earth on the coil pack to kill the spark... Those coilpacks love frying ECUs anyway, so guaranteed it'll have shoved a good spike back up the ECU and killed the drivers.

[tsotd]

the flamer kit wont help things.
the 1.8 ecu and coilpack are just gay, in my old estate i ended up having to by a NEW coilpack but i was lucky, my mother in laws cab needs a replacment ecu

[JackLewis_Dturbo]

its just a google jobby!

[davalav]

I love how after all the replies, you lot have scared him off! hahaha! But I have to agree with Ruan and any one else who says you've possibly fried your ecu. Take the whole 'Flamer kit' off of the car, put it back to standard and work from there.
