 To check fire up and idle, it certainly wouldn't hurt to use an OE injector.? You could also cycle the car through its test mode to see if #3 injector is clicking...

I checked for spark.? Good strong spark.? So strong, in fact,
that the spark is almost violet in color.


I'm also now suspecting a bad injector.? I have some old OEM
injectors Rosattoed away.? They aren't RS2 level but one might be
able to tell me what I need to know.? I'll stick one in tomorrow and
give it a try.? It's just about dinner time now.

Pull that coil and plug in one of your spare spark plugs... ground the
plug body and turn the engine over and watch for spark.? That would
be the fastest way to determine of your issue is really ignition
related.


Sounds like you might have an injector problem.

Hi Y'all,





Several days ago Miss Piggy ('95.5 S6 w/ RS2 mods and the 1.8t coil



mod, etc) dropped a cylinder just before I got home with her.? Well,



at the time the temperature was about 4 degrees F and I decided 


looking at her could wait a few days.? Today we're having a heat
wave 


(all the way up to 43 F) so it seemed a good day to examine her.





Found the miss quickly enough.? Disconnected injectors one at a time



and found that the idle got no worse when #3 was disconnected.? OK,
I 


got into my Rosattobin and retrieved my standby 1.8t coil and swapped



it into #3.? Problem solved - right?? No wrong.?
Hmmm...? The #3 plug 


looked a bit doubtful so it's back to the Rosattobin for a set of



plugs.? Changed plugs all around.? No help.





Hmmm...? Let's check compression.? 150, 150, 145, 150, 125
front to 


back.? #5 looks weak but that's not where the miss is.? OK,
let's 


stick in a fresh ECU w/ freshly burnt chips.? No change.?
Checked for 


B+ power at the white plugs on the firewall.? DMM sez all is OK w/



nominal 12 volts everywhere.? Reconnected white plugs.? No
change.





Suggestions?





Bob
