Re: Engine management light
On what basis did you change the aforementioned parts, as a guess or as a result of fault codes? Some more info on exactly what car/ engine it is would help too.

Re: Engine management light
It's is a 1.4 and it's done 51,000 milage, it started with the battery needing changing, then after diagnostics they said it had 14 faults, 3 garages later and still not fixed, now the diagnostics say air conditioning fault???
The year of the car is 2004, the car is drivable but when it hits 30 the engine management light comes on a says cat fault, anti pollution fault.....

Re: Engine management light
Either the coil pack or an injector in that case.

Re: Engine management light
Coil pack already changed so must be the injectors. Thank you

Re: Engine management light
It's worth swapping No4 with another injector and see if the fault moves. This will eliminate any wiring issues to the injector.

Re: Engine management light
Thanks for letting us know the result. That plug must have been faulty from the off!
