Citroen Xsara Picasso sx 16v 1.8L Petrol 02 plate - Citroen Xsara Picasso Fault......Help - tezza12

Can anyone advise if they know what this problem is. The Engine Auto Diagnosis light is intermittently coming on every now and again, but worse than that, today the car lost pull basically, How best to describe it.

If you start a normal car and un plug one of the 4 HT leads the car struggles and splutters, its a bit like that.

Now i have a baby due in 4 days and am no millionaire, what can it be.

From my own reserach it could be the Coil, It could be a electrical wireing fault (there was a burning smell for some time coming from somewhere) or a problem with the fual injection....

I just dont have a clue, anyone

You need to get the fault code read that the Engine Management Light is telling you about. That will point you in the direction of the problem.
