Another day and another fault! .....

[Marvec]

Recently my car has decided to mis - fire and go into limp home mode, with the spanner light coming on briefly and the engine light staying on, its starting to get worse now so i have plugged my scanner in and the following code comes on...

P0353 Ignition coil c Primary/secondary circuit.

Im thinking i need a new coil pack? and is it wise to do the spark plugs too?, as they havnt been changed for a while, thanks .

Plugs an coil pack mate yeah.

What diagnostic are you using? Is it bi directional ( can you do actuator testing)

[vectra ste]

id do the plugs as well they are cheap about 2 pounds each

try that first but i think your find its the coilpack mate

on the 1.8 the spark plugs should get changed around 80000 miles

i changed mine at 60000 miles

cheers for all the advice, i will be changing the coil pack and plugs and hopefully it works .
