Hi everyone just wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction. .. my 1997 wide body 2.8 has just developed a problem I've owned it for 10 years and has never ever missed a beat , however last Friday 11.45 pm after being parked all day in the heat ( ime a bus driver in cambridge ) I started it and it seems it's only running on 5 cylinders ???? And it has not cleared itself? ?? Dunno what to look at ime busy with shift work at mo but it's still getting me there its only 1.5 miles ....any ideas ??? Like I said it's never been any trouble? ??

Plugs , lead, coil pack

Split air induction is very common and will cause rough running, check all the rubber induction hoses for splits

Hi slam Wright I'll do those saturday , would it be ok to still use it until then in your opinion?

 

[Taz Horton]

Hi thanks I've replaced induction hose 6 months ago but thankyou anyway

That would be a waste of money, put a code reader on it and find out if you have a misfire and on what cylinder.

Oh ok have to go up garage then , makes sense then only one coil pack hopefully would you think it would be ok to still drive it until Saturday only 3 miles per day ?

Hi Taz, use it as little as you can till you can get the codes read. Unburned fuel is not good for the Cat mate.
