Hey guys, just changed the coil pack in the mothers AU2, it all went smoothly (so i thought), until i put it all back together and fired it up and its running very rough, and theres a strong smell of unburnt fuel.
I double checked ive put all the leads back correctly, and also everything else looks fine. Any ideas would be great, thanks guys.

Check it again, two of the leads must be out of order.

Any update on this OP?
Did you remember to reattach the electrical component (a capacitor if I remember correctly) that has a spade connector that sits under one of the "legs" of the coil pack? Have you tried disconnecting each spark plug in turn (with engine off) to see if there's any change in the engine note... or in this case, probably more likely, NO change when it's unplugged? Sounds like you haven't replaced the leads. How old are they? Is it possible you've damaged one when replacing the coil? |
