coilpack problems maybe

[mk3pete]

would your coilpack make your car feel as though its running on 5 or 4 cylinders?

iv been having on and off problems with my acceleration sometimes it feels great other times it has no balls

i cleaned my maf sensor with cleaner spray still no good
although when the car is cold it seems to run the best

How are the leads/spark plugs btw?

there are plenty reasons why your car could be sluggish. have you had it on the vagcom yet? Does it actually misfire or is it just slow?

[mk3pete]

leads are brand new genuine vw

and the spark plugs are only 6 months old

i have msd coilpacks awaiting to be installed just waiting on msd leads and bracket
just wanted to make sure the coilpack is the definate problem

the leads will be for sale soon if anyone wants to make an offer i paid 240 for em theyve only done 4 or 5 thousand

im interested in the leads if you wanna pm me with an offer i cant refuse!

[mk3pete]

nah its not misfiring the car isnt jerking, which i presume is a symptom of misfire

you could say its very sluggish at times others not
its been up on vagcomm a few months ago
other than my abs fault and engine speed sensor, nothing

Luckily you eliminated the common problems it could be other than the coilpack. I'm jealous of your MSD setup haha..

Yeah my money would have all been on the coilpack too. If you want, take it off and look around all the black plastic really closely for cracks. Lucky you're changing it!

When replacing the coilpack, is it necessary to get a brand new one? Can anybody help suggest where to pick one up?

I think my coilpack is gone. Symptoms are stuttering when under constant light acceleration and thats about it as far as I can tell. Does this sound right?
