Well i have to one on cyl 3 P0303 and a random one P0300 they have recommended coil pack and plugs but ive have noticed that other ppl have done this and the problem hasnt gone away and infact its been an air flow sensor. I thourght id ask on here before ordering the parts as i didnt want to do the coil pack and find i have the same problem.
Cheers
No one with a Z20LET near you that you can try parts on?
Mine was the coil pack

Not that i no off but after reading through post ppl saying they replaced the coil pack and it ending up being the amm. Iam well confused.
Ask the dealer where your getting the part's from.
I just said I have been told its the AMM or coil pack and could I bring one or both if it doesnt cure the problem.
As long as its in new condition then there shouldnt really be a problem

I order new spark plugs from courtneys going try them and then go the coil pack and amm way
Get some plugs from sparkplug.com or something as they are loads cheaper for the same thing.

Sounds like an AMM rather than a coilpack tbh, although I had both go on the Zafira, but the AMM gives exactly the fault you say you have
Yea sounds more AMM
With my coilpack going I could drive it if I didnt put any 'load' on the car.
I had to drive hardly pressing the peddle but as soon as I trired to push it down a bit more thats when the missfire kicked in.
if they say its the coil pack, and you fit it and it doesnt work you have a right to take it back!

Basicly the problem was my spark plugs had come losse slightly i changed them and the coil pack anyway as i had bought them.
i have just got the same problem with my sri-t but with mine the light only comes on if you drive as if the car is just stood and you rev it no lights come on,
i have just changed the plugs to Iridium IX BKR6EIX just hope that solves it other wise i will have to have a coil pack and amm.
Any one anyideas how much coil packs are or the amm is?
cheers
