#1: 1.1 power loss Author: westham42, Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2013 2:18 am ---- Hi guys.
Took coil pack off last night to change plugs but my removal took didn't fit so not done them .
However, this morning I had barely enough power to get to 30mph without straining the engine and accelerator pedal seems very low.
Could it be that or have I not put the coil pack back on properly? Was running great before.
Its a 1.1, 2000 reg 206.
Any help and advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve.

Is the tension set correctly?

Does the car sound like it's misfiring at all?

Turned out to be a clip on the throttle cable lol
I didn't think it was too serious because it wasn't lumpy on idle but thought I would ask anyway.
Cheers again,
Steve.

Lol
Not much power at all, especially as I got rid of a 328i SE to save money.
But, I love the Pug, so much fun to drive.
Guess it was only down on power due to the throttle basically not working. I could barely move and it took ages to get to even 30mph, so I well noticed the difference lol
