Which number cylinder is....
#2
Hi Folks,
....the one nearest the driver.
I'm running on three and it doesn't appear to be ignition (checked spark, swapped spark plug). No violent noises, no smoke. Engine has done a 100K miles. MY94.
Anything I can easily check next before it goes to a garage with effectively a blank cheque? I fear the worst.....
Any help appreciated....

Thanks Pete,
We did try starting the engine with the coil pack / spare plug hanging loose. We got a spark so ignition seems OK (although I don't know how strong the spark should be). I'm thinking (hoping) it's fuel.....
Thanks again for the response. Looking at previous threads #3 seems to be the weakest link usually. Could this be a coincidence?

Thanks again Pete,
Sorry - two more questions.
#1. If your right shouldn't I expect backfire?
#2. How OK is it to drive on 3 cylinders - my 'local' scoob garage is 40 miles away (and I've already been about that far on 3 as it is).
