More help needed with my primera please.
Car: 2000 Primera 1.8 (engine code QG18DE)
Engine check light was flashing intermittently while driving and engine missing. Engine check light became continous. I tried to read engine fault code using the 'bridge the two contacts in the plug and count the flashes' - either I did it wrong or there's no code - looked like '0000' to me. Light then went out after trying to read codes again.
Engine still missing - obvious at idle and when pulling away. Light flashing. Changed spark plugs - number 3 smelld of petrol so reckon this is the missing one. (plugs needed changing) Drove around to test, same problems, missing, light flashing intermittently before coming on constantly. Car has 4 individual 'coil on plug' units, are these known failure points?
Where to look next? Or get it to the garage?
Cheers,
Jez
