you can, with a scan tool thingy... most workshops should have them, the Nissan models are loaded onto the cards they have for them..

i can't for the life of me remeber the error code, but the code that i'm sure would come up refers to an "ignition" problem. 99% it's your coilpack which is dead, seems to be common for the 34's. I've got at least 1 dead one... how did you know it's ur #2 cylinder?

does the car sounded like a WRX?

Engine light is common on bcos of the ignition error code being thrown out and for some reason this renders the traction control "temporarily unavailable" you'll know when you're going around a wet corner

So yeah, 99% coilpack. TCS and Slip together means the traction control is offline.

OPTIONS:

- Buy Splitfire coilpacks, expensive

- Buy 1x Nissan coilpack, $100 (new) and hope the others aren't on their way out

cheers,

This may help a little.

I know it is number 2 because it is the only cylender that doesnt affect the idle when i remove the coil pack connectors one at a time, i also suspected the coils but for some reason it has done this before dropping one cylender but last time one cut out no engine light or anything came on and after the car cooled it came back but like i said no engine or tcs light were shown,

I've got some spare stock coilpacks if you need them to test

Just PM me.

hi mate

mine did the same thing twice. One of your coilpacks is fried. Sounds really bad hey???

fairly easy to replace dont stress.

Pardon me for being completely dumb... but what do coilpacks do?

And what is the advantage of having Splitfire over Nissan?

[ed]

They provide the sparkplugs power to put it simple
