it may well be an injector fault. check the resistance of it.12 to 16 ohms is about right (no4}cylinder

Did you fit a good quality coil pack? Is it the same code as with the old coil pack?

The engine ECU is very prone to false codes and engine malfunctions,
Do a search for engine ecu repairs.

If the injector is tested and fine I would swap them over with another cylinder to see if the code moves to another cylinder.

Also do a compression test to see if one or more of the 4 valves are burned in the affected cylinder

How do I do that mate as don't no much about cars
Posted Jun 28, 2014 (9 years ago)
Truthfully mate I can't help if you don't know how to do basic fault finding.
Sorry but don't mess with it if you are unsure what to do. It will make things worse and ruin the car totally.

Sorry!

The engine ECU is on the side of the engine. Nothing inside to repair yourself is all else fails just Google engine ECU repair and talk to one of the guys if you send the ECU to them and its working it won't cost much. Sorry but its hard enough trying to diagnose faults online without having to explain how to do simple test procedures.

No offence,but a compression test is very basic.
Posted Jun 30, 2014 (9 years ago)
basic if you have the tools for the job.
Posted Jun 30, 2014 (9 years ago)
Surely if you can change pistons and gearboxes you would know what a compression test was and how to carry it out.

Please don't get offensive when we try to help and suggest to you leaving something to the professionals if as you quoted " I don't know much about cars.
