Year of Manufacture *: 2002
Engine Size and Code *: 1.4
( Optional ) Scanner Used: VCDS
Injectors 2&3 loose trigger pulse but this looks like Cat protection because one of the coil triggers also is lost when engine starts to warm up.
Load test wiring from coil back to ECU all good.
Compression check on cold engine all cylinders reach 200 after 8 secs cranking. Cant do live compression.
Garage had changed the plugs and coil pack (non genuine) before I saw car, or I might have suspected coil pack drawing to much from the ECU although looking at the coil trigger pattern this is nit a usual driver signal but a very small squarewave trigger to switch the electronics in the coil pack so is not doing any "work" as such.
So its chicken and egg I feel. Is the ecu faulty and loosing the coil trigger or is the coil pack overloading the ecu causing it to shut down the injectors?
Or could there be another factor causing CAT protection?
Cup of tea and sleep on it I think. any thoughts please
