Is this a coil on the way out or something else?

[Redsalive]

I've had a coil go before, but never like this. I had been driving a while (super hot weather) got stuck in a jam and the fans came on. Eventually I got to the roundabout and accelerated. When I got to about 3k revs it sort of died on me, total loss of power.
Seemed to run ok at low revs, did it a couple more times and the same thing happened. I'm away with work at the moment and sat in a beergarden pondering. Long drive home tomorrow (I do have a spare coil in the car) any suggestions?

Doesn't sound like a coil, but could be any dash lights?

 

[Redsalive]

Didn't notice any

Could be fuel starvation , when was the fuel filter last changed ?

 

[Redsalive]

Good point, I'll have to check. It's going in for an mot and some bits and pieces to be done so ill get him to have a look.

 

[Redsalive]

Just checked, I was replaced in February so can't be that (?)

Sound's like a fueling issue...

Mine had this turned out faulty fuel pump

Reason is dealer sat car on his forecourt with less than 2 gallons of fuel and the pump actually rotted away!

You can get a garage to put a clip on and check fuel pressures as well to confirm

Thanks. Is it an expensive fix?

Update: new spark plugs fitted, everything fine. One happy bunny. Oh and if you ever decide to change the spark plugs on a ph1 don't do it. Get it to a garage, it's a mare!

Nice it's fixed. :approve: What kind of plugs did you fit?

Why get it to a garage? It's a bit different than a standard car but not that bad. iolin: :salut:
