   I've been following all the engine stuff, trying to stop my daughters car running like a bag of spanners- the right hand cylinder is not firing properly. I have so far changed:

   1. The Coil Pack
   2. The Spark plugs
   3. The injector on said cylinder.

   And STILL the fecking thing won't fire properly on it. If I remove the injector lead, it runs just the same. I've reset the ECU, and done just about everything- carb cleaned the timing belt, whatever. What the HELL else could it be?

   Yep id say its droppd the valve on that cylinder.
   Do a wet and dry test and see if the compression alters.
   If you get more compression with oil down the bore then its worn rings.
   Does it burn / use any oil?

   Found it in the end- its the tthe end of the coil pack that connect to the spark plugs, whatever they are called. One appears to not be firing properly. What part are they?
