    less cylinders. dead baterry was the problem. thanks guys!
    but i dont know why its not firing all cylinders. did a search last night on what might be the problem. Not really sure what to check... from the search i gathered1. coilpacks
    2. Spark plugs
    3. the infamous PTU plugs, connecters, unit itself
    4. injector connectorsi have wobbled the connectors on the coilpacks while the car is runnning. No change.
    Any other ideas? Anything else i should check?:`(
    looks like i will be busy over easter.thanks for your help guysStan

    Injector plugs!

    common problem with older zeds, unplug them and look in side. i would have a good guess and say that they have corrosion in them (copper connectors , so they go green)
