Fiat Stilo Issues

[trisah]

I have a fiat stilo, had a failed coil pack which I have replaced, bought a new one not second hand, Now it appears there is no power getting to the pack, , cylinder 1,2,3 are fine just no 4, can anybody help suggest anything i can try before I pay a fortune to have someone look at it, I am quite ok working with things as I am a PC technician so like to get into things,

I feel it may be simple but there again maybe major who knows,

Did you buy a Fiat made coil pack, or a cheap Chinese copy off ebay?

[trisah]

i bought one from Euro car parts, The coil pack is working as I tried it on another connector from a different plug

[Hopkirk]

OK, good luck.

I hope someone can help, but I suspect you need an auto-electrician.

No/4 lead!! take a lead off No/3 & try the lead on No4, do not remove ALL THE LEADS AT ONCE otherwise you may miss match the firing order.

How can you be sure the new coil pack isn't where the problem lies?

[trisah]

new coil pack is working because I tried it on the conector for piston 3, so this is how I know it is working There is a problem with the power not getting to the coil pack ,
I heard somewhere that it is possible that the chanel from the ECU for that pack may fail along with the old coil

If that is the case then you will need to get the ECU tested or replace it.
