#1: Flashing Engine mgnt light and juddering like on 3cyl Author: borinous, Location: EssexPosted: Thu May 05, 2011 4:26 am ---- The other day whilst in traffic my engine management light began flashing and the car felt like it was running on 3 cylinders.
I stopped the car and left it for around 45mins-1hr when i started it back up it was fine and then drove fine for the rest of the day??
Its a 2003 1.4 Petrol.
The way it went was very simular to the way my previous car felt when the coilpack was on the way out.
Any ideas??

That is a good plan do you know what the prefered brand is?? i have read NGK's are a big no-no

Bosch is the best for 206s.
But getting it plugged into a fault code reader would be even better. However it will cost more than replacing the spark plugs.

i had to replace the coil pack

Ill change the plug first as i have a sneaky feeling i may have used NGK's (this was before i came on this forum ) and see how it goes as a first step.
