   Yo people.
   
   I am going to sell my VTs but something is bugging me as to why its running on 2/3 cylinders.
   
   Other night it was fine, and then obviously temps outside went to minus something. All of a sudden I felt loss of power when driving, and the normal scooby/tractor engine note.
   
   Ive taken all the plugs out, one seemed more dirty than the others, so I cleaned them all anyway, and now its still doing it.
   
   Any suggestions ?
   
   Im going to go at the connections on sensors today with WD40 to try and get out any moisture that might be trapped!

   Same thing happened to me and I had to replace the coilpack. Seems like this happens quite often on saxos.

   Today, tried another coilpack, other plugs. Also the earth for the coilpack was broken, so fixed that.
   
   No joy at all. Runs like a bag of shit with no power at all. Grr
