hi all , my car has now randomly cut out 3 times while driving , it doesnt seem to matter what revs or speed etc its happened at idle in reverse and just humming along at 60kph, im thinking it could be coil packs? cause as a few off u know I had trouble trying to replace my plugs , the only way my car would run well was with the old plugs put back in and they are gapped to .5 if I remember right , and I was trying .8 or .7 and neither were any good and I was told possibly the coil packs were the reason the plugs wernt working, so is it possible faulty coilo packs could be causing my car to randomly die? I just pull over and start it back up and its like it never happened , until next time , ?!

cheers all

I took it to a tuner that I was refered to from a few people off this forum and we replaced the fuel filter, ignition coils (were prob same ones from 2003 had cracks in them ) spark plugs , and upped the boost to 19psi :sungum: its now running sweet and hasnt cut out on me again :locomotive: 321.3rwkw

plugs gapped to .8 :P
