running like an old cow

[Kev_md]

had a few issues with rough idle,flat spots and lack of power,replaced all ignition coils and guess what still running like a pound of mince,no errors on obd11,starting to feel as if it would be cheaper with a gallon of petrol and a match,knowing my luck it wouldnt feckin burn.any suggestions greatly appreciated,suggestions about whats wrong not how to set fire to it:rasp:

First thing to do is go back and have them check the timing

Ha .. great minds Rich

 

[DannoTheGreat]

yep, get the timin checked out buddy?

 

[Kev_md]

timings fine all done properly by honda dealer,everything locked in position whilst doing it,been back to them and they going to have a look at it free of charge to see if they can find anything,iam just asking out of curiosity to see if iam missing something simple,then again its a renault ,nothings simple,thing is i quite like the car or else it would be getting traded in.

Aye


Daft question why take it to a Honda dealer? All what you've said points towards the timing being out

 

[Kev_md]

only decent dealer around here,previously a renault dealer with same staff or its off to arnold shark and that aint never going to happen.
