2002 impreza 1.6 mis-fire

[tuneman_djm]

Hey all,

I had the engine management light come on last week so I put an OBDII reader on it and as described above I have a mis-fire in cylinder 1, I checked with the engine running at night and noticed sparks going from the lead to the coil. Upon checking it the next day I found a blue powder inside a port of the coil that's bolted to the top of the engine.

Does that mean I need a new coil or leads or both and where can I get one from on the cheap please folks ?!

Thanks in advance

You're right it's one or the other not sure be able to say which one with out getting them out and looking I'd also look at the plugs. 

I'd give eBay a check see if you can find any on there or look at some breakers yards. Main stealers will be a rip off I'd say :(

 

And welcome to S.O.C :)

Cheers Gambit,

I've got new NGK plus ordered but trying to get a new coil on the cheap will be tricky I think ?!

Thanks mate.

You're welcome mate

And I would say they will be hard to get and common to go too. So would say be one of the 1st things that is sold of a car being broken
