#1: Running on 2 Cylinders Author: Xlinephil, Location: east yorkshirePosted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 3:35 am ---- Hi Guys
I pretty sure my partners 206 is only running on 2 cylinders at the moment, I perform the test where you allow water to evaporate on a freshly warmed engine, cylinders 1 & 4 seemed very cold. The car has already had a new coil pack, and all the information on the web seems to suggest injector No. 4 is the problem one. Are the injectors wired in series? How do I go about removing the injector and replacing it with a second hand one? Do I simply remove the fuel rail and pull the injector using my hands or do I need to de-pressurize the fuel system first?
Any advice greatly appreciated!

#3: Re: Running on 2 Cylinders Author: Xlinephil, Location: east yorkshirePosted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 3:43 am ---- The coil pack has been changed yes, not the spark plugs though but I inspected and gapped them when I changed it and all seemed acceptable.

Injector wise, unbolt the fuel rail & they pull out. Just a case of pushing them back in.

Not NGK spark plugs I hope
These are a NO NO for a 206

The engine ecu is smart enough to shut of the fuel injector to a cylinder if the spark plug / coil pack is misfiring on that pot
Cylinder 1 is the gearbox end, PSA Peugeot / Citroen like to do things different

Reading the Original Post it looks like he has the problem with the washer jets leaking down onto 1 and 4, like the problem you spoke about to me.
I am changing my injector either tonight or this coming friday, so maybe i can do a how to and save the world.
Also how bad must her car be running, we cut mine down to 2 and it sounded rough to say the least, hope she isnt driving it still...
Just to make it clear whats said above, cylinder 4 = left as you look from the front, ie the hardest one to get ya hand round due to the engine mount *on a 1.1 anyway*

It ran like a bag of s**te on just 2 pots
#10: Re: Running on 2 Cylinders Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 5:48 am ---- i had this problem a week ago, mine was only one cylinder though. this is what mine sounded like
mine was a faulty coilpack.
they also mentioned something about the intake manifold can cause problems which seems like a faulty coilpack.
#11: Re: Running on 2 Cylinders Author: Xlinephil, Location: east yorkshirePosted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 5:48 am ---- She is still driving, she has no choice as she needs to get around in her job! Thats why I need to fix it asap lol.
Just rang up a scrappy and they say that there are different ones so how do I determine which to order?
#12: Re: Running on 2 Cylinders Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 5:54 am ---- coil pack ?

second this advice, do a compression test, can you give a lot of clues as to whats going on.
If you have a fault code reader that can delete codes,remove the injectors so you can see if they are working and also for spray pattern
