    Hi guys

    My #1 cylinder is missing! Just asking what things to check before i start checking stupid things :bash:

    I gave it abit on take off. it might have reved to about 4 then I suddenly lost a cylinder. i thought it might of been an intercooler piping but when i check cylinder #1 injector didnt make a change. What could it be? any suggestions on what to check 1st?

    Cheers everyone

    Normally just injector or coilpack connector. If still no good, swap coilpacks with another cylinder.

    Damn, I have never seen that before. The bastard must have gone somewhere. Check under the seat or in the boot.

    The other 5 must be getting lonely by now :D:D:D

    I have some spares here.

    He can drive it, but it's not ideal. I would unplug the injector for that cylinder so it's not getting doused in fuel.

    A cylinder is just a hole.

    How do you find a hole if it has gone missing ?

    What was that Beatles song - Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall ?
