My CA running on 3 cylinders only.

[SMKNG ACE]

Ok guys.

I was driving from work the other day and while cruising i hear the car starting to sound like a WRX.
Just for a half a km or so then all is fine she ran great again.
Got home and switched off.

Next morning went to shops and back about 3 km and as i pull in at home there again in 3 cylinders ever since.

What i did so far is as follows:
Checked for spark. No 4 got no spark.
Changed spark plugs.
Changed coil packs and still no 4 no spark.
Did check my CAS Fuel injectors and fuel press and a good compression test and all good.

Not sure if it can be the ignitor or a wire break in the loom somewhere ?

Need some input as this is baffling me.

Thanks In advance guys.

If I remember correctly there's a earth wire that earths the coils loom, make sure it's still connected.

Did u do a compression test out of intrest

[SMKNG ACE]

ok did check earth but will go double check.

Reason for compression test is that i did the cylinder head last year October and thought the gasket might have blown.
Also to ease my mind that the cylinders is healthy reading about 150-160 psi.

When i have time i will go check the wiring for continuity and also check all possible earthing points.

Injector not blocked

[SMKNG ACE]

injector is functioning 100% .
When changed plugs it was wet covered in fuel.

Does it misfire all the time or when car has warmed up? Had similar issue

[SMKNG ACE]

Yes it is constant at startup and definitely a dead cylinder.
I disconnected the fuel injector until i can sort it out.

I only drive if it is extremely important.

Give back my cylinder ...

[jdm200sx]

See if a fellow friend will borrow you an ignitor to try. Im very sure thats the problem

[jdm200sx]

Where about are u?

[SMKNG ACE]

my thought also the ignitor or so ... i am staying near Simon's Town in Glencairn.

Otherwise i should just get a management system fitted.

[jdm200sx]

I have 1. Can u pickup in ottery?

[SMKNG ACE]

sure if it is ok must i travel with my car or pick it up rather with the bike if weather permits ?
Oh and just say when and where.

Thanks hope this solves it.

[jdm200sx]

Come with your bike if you can. Its a bit of a distance to drive on 3 cylinders. You can pick it up and try it. Hope it solves ur prob

[SMKNG ACE]
