Oh dear god!!!!!

7 days till FCS and my car decides it wants to keep jolting when i accelerate hard and then the engine light comes on!!!!!! but within a day it goes off!!!!! HAd it booked in to citroen, but because it stopped being lit i thought it was ok buit it;'s done i 6 times now!!!!!

Any ideas guys????? it happens in all gears cept first, or atleast i haven't noticed it happen there!!!

I wanna get to FCS!!!

mine done exaclty that when the coil pack was on its way mate

stuttering when accelerating, engine light coming on sometimes then going back off etc...

it might not be your problem but thats the symptoms i had

oz_borne^p · 25th May 2004, 02:06

and what happened and how much?

Scott^p · 25th May 2004, 02:48

lol what happened!

Started to run on two cyclinders when it failed then dumped a load of fuel into the cat which then ignited and blew the cat up at the weld, then spent half of the saturday it happened wiring a pug coil up so that i could get it home!

Just taken it to a guy who did some work on the steering pump, he read the ecu and it said

'fuel injectors in cylinders 2 and 3 or an intermittent circuit'.

So he wiped the memory and wants me to go back when it does it again.

IS a good bloke. didn't charge me shit where as the shitroen garage would have charged 80 nicker!!!

bloody hell that sounds like a bad saturday!!!

Scott^p · 26th May 2004, 03:54

lol that saturday was god damn awful! i tried to find the thread but couldnt/lost intrest

and mysteriously my coil stopped firing on 2+3

Ive had the same problem 4 a few weeks now!!!!!!! Engine light coming on and off as it pleases!!!!! Tuk it 2 the shitreon garage wen it first did it n they sed it cud b my ignition coil, mayb they werent lyin then!!!!!!!!

oz_borne^p · 3rd June 2004, 20:00

Oh shit mother C*nt

It looks like it could be the coil package mate. Still the same problem, but it geting worse!!!! I don't want it to blow up on me. Got it in to have a service next week. I DON@T WANT IT TO BLOW UP

How much it cost you scott?

oz_borne^p · 12th June 2004, 19:49

right well i have replaced the spark plugs and the coil and that has so far made it much better, no lights, and no stuttering either yet so fingers crossed. The company i spoke to sells loads of coil packs, and cylinders 2 and 3 are the ones to normally go!!!!

fingers crossed guys. you got yours fixed ray?

Raysax · 15th June 2004, 17:15

MInes jus stopd doing it!!!! Aint had no problems since, bin as gud as gold!! Im kpn my eye on it tho, dnt wnt it 2 blow up eitha!! Hows urs bin since??

Scott^p · 15th June 2004, 17:26

mine used to run like a dream then splutter like fuck then be fine again, it kept like this for months then it died in a big way

think i got the coil for 80 odd quid from citreon and fitted it that morning and also changed my plugs, been running great eversince

Raysax · 15th June 2004, 17:33

Hmm ok Scott, ur bgening to get me worried!!!!! Fink i may pop dwn jus 2 b on the safe side!!!!

oz_borne^p · 15th June 2004, 22:07

Do mate. Try and find a citroen specialist outside of shitroen dealership. They have contacts my coil pack was 49.50 17 quid cheaper than normal cos teh guy had a good company. All in all it's cost me 140 this month including 35000 mile service. Taint bad.
