Wtb/borrow - Known Working Rb25det Neo Coilpacks

[ssshonky]

ok , to cut a long story short , after a recent and very basic service , our s2 Stagea has started playing up. Initially after the service it was working just fine, running smooth as anything, After a few days it started to misfire, I was not driving the car at the time but basically it was reported that the car was juddering, this only happened about 1.5 days after the service.

The only things done on the service was plugs , oil , oil filter , so pretty basic, something I have done many times before. After my partner Loretta started complaining of the car playing up I took the coil packs out , sprayed electrical contact cleaner on everything , re assembled and checked.

The car definately feels its running on 5 cyl. I am either thinking its the coilpack loom/harness that is at fault ( because a few of the plugs dont feel like they click into the tops of the coilpacks ) , as a temporary fix I cable tied all the coilpack connectors to the top of the coilpacks, so I am pretty sure its not a loose connector there.

I need the following

a) borrow a known working good set of RB25DET NEO coilpacks, payment in beer/cooked goodies

b) find somewhere that I can get a good deal on some Splitfire coilpacks delivered to WA by Thursday at the latest.

c) Borrow/Buy a known good coilpack harness/loom , so I can eliminate the loom as being a problem.

Guys and gals , I am seriously in the sh1t here cause I need the car running reliably preferably before the weekend as we were supposed to be going on a trip down South , could it possibly be worse timing?

I can be contacted via mobile on 041-991-6324

Sounds really similar to a problem my mate's s2 had - fixed by cleaning the AFM out with contact cleaner.

I dont think thats it hey, cause last night I got home and took the car for a boot around the block and could not fault it, so just to be sure I took the coilpacks out ( didnt touch afm at all ) , had a look and re-assembled, and the car actually got WORSE.

So in my mind I disturbed 1 part ( coilpacks and coilpack harness) and the problem got worse, this would indicate its probably a failing coilpack.

do you agree?

exactly the same scenario here. Some times it would drive perfectly and if it started to run rough, giving it a bootful of throttle would fix it once it got over about 4000rpm. Thought it was coilpacks, replaced them and the car ran better when it was running but gradually got worse and worse. Put the AFM from my Stag in it and it ran perfectly.

Coilpacks no longer needed, Thanks for all those that replied.

Still interested if anyone has a loom for Sale

Hey Shaun, I do have a working set spare.

I am putting a new set in mine when the engine is completed this coming week. Sorry don't have a harness. But do have lots of other bits. Did you check the plugs?
