Engine Running Rough

[mark VXR]

I've just driving my Ro and it feels like its running on half the cylinders and little power? Does it have a safety mode and is there anything I can do was planning to take it to Monkfish for a service but its quite far away and concerned about driving it may have to find a dealer in the North West. No lights on the dash?

Any advice??

first take off, one at a time, the spark leads then reconnect and make sure they are on

eliminate the easy obvious st first

Yeah a bust or lose lead makes it run crap. Any warning lights?
Usually in low power mode it will throw a code and warning light. Otherwise more possible its a plug lead.

Or unplug an injector at a time. That way you dont risk getting zapped with 60k volts.

well if you do all 8 plugs with the ignition off it helps

should really disconnect battery first as well if you want to be really safe....

stop start stop start stop start.....


Or just unplug an injector in turn while its running, whilst carefully checking for an rpom change.

It also means no unburnt fuel will be getting dumped into the CAT whilst testing, as it would removing the spark from the equation. Unless its happening already with a duff coil...but nothing you can do about that.

i dont know why you are complicating the easiest of jobs

engine off, unplug and reply every single one (I said one at a time to simply unplug then plug, move to next) then start the engine

total job time = 2 minutes
risk to injury = none
complication = joey deacon

Or I just point my infra red temp sensor gun at each exhaust stub, cant be eaier than that!
