I'm stumped!
This is a 1.4 litre 8 valve Kangoo. It runs like a pig, back firing, no revs and no power, runs slightly better at small throttle positions.
No faults reported on the scanner.
Coil pack replaced with a brand new (assumed OK) one. The garage is stumped. Next step is either cambelt out a few teeth or injector problems. Anything else to look at?
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Peter
Your best bet would be to join the Renault Forums:
fuel pressure maybe, giant gaps on the plugs, blocked air intake, cambelt timing should be checked, which is easy on one of those, using a programmable timing light for speed or do it manually, still easy, just slower.
Blocked fuel filter , ailing pump (low fuel flow) or blocked exhaust / collapsed catalyst.
Find another garage if they cant diagnose this.

Check the plug connection to coil. Just turned the spade terminals to make a better connection. Another common fault is crankshaft position sensor. Most times its bad connection at those stupid male female plugs.
