*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 3, 2012 You would need to get it scanned first and go from there. Swapping things will only introduce more faults. Get someone up your way to diagnose and maybe fix it for you before it turns into something more major. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 3, 2012 possible water down the spark plug holes He said he did the plugs. Water should have been evident when he did it, unless the problem has occurred since they were changed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) What scanner was used and was the car driven and live data checked ?? With all this bad weather weve been having, your DME might have had a swim... quite common, depending on how it was parked, especially if the drains are blocked Edited October 4, 2012 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
