Hi all, I own 53 plate 1.1, yesterday the engine light came on and the car was running really rough (3 cylinders). Suspect coil pack, so removed today along with plugs. Connected plugs to pack and earthed them out. Turened engine over and all 4 got a good spark. Do I bite the bullet and replace coil pack? Any other ideas?
Many thanks

Stupidest thing you could ever do with a modern ignition system like the 206 uses.

Why's that? Arent the plugs earthed when they are screwed into the head or am I missing something?

If it's any help, all of my plugs appeared like they were sparking fine but actually the coil pack did need replacing
