JK90 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Had the plugs changed on car today and since its been done the power delivery doesn't seem there, getting a lot of vibration when pulling away and accelerating, tone of the exhaust doesn't sound the same either, turbos are spooling ok but seems as though the engine isn't delivering the power any help please.

Dnk Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Is it miss firing ? what plugs were fitted and what boost are you running ? Could be wrong plugs, wrong gap, coil pack connectors falling apart, coil breaking down, plugs not done up tight etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Coil pack plugs prob need changing They go brittle with age and as you have disturbed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 As already said, I'd put money on it being the coil pack clips, there will be a loose connection somewhere. Did you change them or did a garage do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK90 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 A garage done it, put ngk irridium plugs in, boost is running 0.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Paine Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Coil pack clips. Mine started playing up after plug change. Some clips were not even there. Check them all out and if ny look slightly suspect get a new set from whifbitz. Mine is now fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK90 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Running on 5 cylinders instead of 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The number for the housings is:- T90980-11246, it may come up on there records as a condenser but it is the right housing, the price in 08 was £5.89 each from my local toyota. There is a good write up on how to do the change your self in the tech section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Running on 5 cylinders instead of 6 If a garage done the work and they didn’t notice the car was running on 5 cylinders instead of 6 then I would not be taking it back there! If they did break/damage a connector and that is found to be the reason why it’s not running correctly why didn’t they simply replace it?? Questions need to be answered... I would be fuming...
