Hi,


I have a 2007 1.2l Panda with around 20k on it. It was recently running lumpy and misfiring now and again. then I had the EML light come on. I have a cheap Bluetooth ODB2 reader so fired that up and received a P0351 error code. I looked at the posts about this on the forum (many thanks to all who posted) and it seemed that it was a 'Coil Pack 'A' '
failure. Some posts suggested checking the low tension connections and so disconnected these, crimped these tighter and re attached them to both coil packs. The problem went away for a day or so and then came back. I then thought I had better buy some new coil packs, but thought I would swap them over to see if the fault transferred to 'B'. But before I did this I thought I would have one last go at the connections. I took all the connections off the coil packs and sprayed them with 'Servisol' Swich cleaner. I then took off both ECU connectors and sprayed the contacts there too. I then reassembled everything and reset the error code. All has been well for the last 200 miles and lumpy running has gone. I wonder if coil packs, etc get changed in the ignition just because of a bad contact, when a bit of cleaning up would fix things?

punto had same problem (same engine) ordered 2 new coil packs off fleabay, nex day played up and while was ticking over was jiggling wires and suddenly purring again ended up being little bit of corrosion on coil pack one pins, a bit of a spray cured it, got rid of the punto a while back and got a panda but kept packs as they are the same engine.
