My scooby is ill. 2 nights ago it started juddering really badly and because it's bank holiday I cant ring the garage till tomorrow. i think it's either injectors or plugs and leads. Any more ideas what the problem might be? jay

 

stick a pic up

cos i love scooby's

 

I dont have any pics!!!!!!!! I will describe it!!!!!!!!! it's white, sti, and phat! but apart from in car boost it's standard at the mo!

 

im in 2 blue scooby's more but if get a white one from the angle it look SEXY

 

Not given us a lot to go on What year is it ?does it occur at around 4000rpm?

 

Yeah, a better discription of the symptoms would help

Best regards

 

its a 1995, it starts doing it from about 3000 revs (i think!) around 30 mph, in any gear over 1st. When some cars judder they bounce you forward but this is asif its pulling the car back . But keep it under 30mph and in 1st!!!!it doesn't do it!

 

Had this on mine and it turned out to be a nearly flat battery.Have you tried starting it since the night it happened?

 

it sounds like your coilpacks mate, presume itr wont rev above 4500 but judders all the way and you get the feel of fuel cut??(like hitting a brick wall??)

 

yes I started it the day after and it didn't start as good as it usually does it was spluttering abit

 

COILPACKS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yes it is like runnign low on fuel, like theres crap being dragged through the tank

 

coilpacks?????????? is that expensive and what the hell is it?

 

Test your battery mate just to rule it out.

 

If you rev really slowly ie gentle on throttle when driveing it will let you get to around 4500 and thats. if this is correct it is your coilpacks.

 

Indeed sounds like coilpacks breaking down, hit a brickwall then after a while one heck of a misfire then it clears up? Once the car is warmed up when idling does it hunt around?

 

I will do, thanks

 

wont be battery.

start the car up and take the battery off, then you will see the problem is still there, trust me i know.

 

when it gets warm it still does it, but it hasnt done a big misfire yet just spluttering.if i slightly rev it just standing still it sounds like its running fine, as soon as i take it onto the road and change into 2nd gear it starts

 

no not expensive at all try scooby tecknixs and tell em i sent you its andyd member on here.

 

thanks everyone. i was thinking i had broken my baby!!!!!!!!

 

no worrys jay just get 1 or 2 of your coilpacks done and it will be fine mate.

 

I got lucky and bought a decent set of second hand ones on here (thanks dream ) when you change them i would suggest a new set of irridium plugs as well mate.

 

how many of these coilpack things are there?

 

no no no dont use irrdium plugs on a scooby,you want ngk platinum pfr6bs or 7bs depending how modified your car is.

 

its not modded atall yet, only thing thats not standard is it has in car boost. it is an sti does that make a difference?

 

depends on what year and model?? they are directly on top of your inlet manifold the big red or silver bit that looks like a letter m from the front of car you could have between 1 and 4??? but you can have em tested to see which is the duffer or duffers!!!

 

oh right ok I see. I'm ringing garage tomorrow to get it booked in for them to have a look at so they will tell me I supose

 

you will want ngkpfr7bs then. will cost about £40 quid they are the only ones to use. as recommended by subaru.

 

it is your coilpacks dont let em flog you off with anything else just tell em you want em testing to find out which ones you need to replace.
