geared Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 No they're not. £20 for a brand new coil pack for my 2004 1.4 fiesta zetec. Coilpacks as in Coil-on-plug coilpacks are very expensive. Simpler systems with just the one ignition coil and ignition leads are much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumn Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I wondered if any of you have any ideas please ! My husband has a Mazda Capella ,petrol ,about 7 years old . When he's driving up a hill towards a junction and puts the car in neutral to roll to the junction the engine is cutting out . He can start it again immediately! The mechanic is stumped ! He brought someone in yesterday to take it back to factory status but still couldn't find anything wrong . They have had the tester on it as well ,sorry don't know the proper name . I know he shouldn't be out of gear but I think its something quite a few people do .Bottom line the engine shouldn't be cutting out like that .It only happens if there is a slight incline and not if he stays in gear .Have any of you lovely people any ideas ? Thank you in advance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I can't see the EGR valve causing it to cut out. The car would run lumpy and maybe go into limp mode. I've seen some really badly blocked ones and all they've done is cause what feels like a misfire when accelerating. It's actually a very common problem on Vauxhalls, the EGR valve can and does cause the car to cut out. Usually it's on deceleration and/or braking. Another common problem on Vauxhalls (petrol models), as has already been mentioned, is the coil pack. If the OP has to have this replaced, try to avoid a budget one, they can be more trouble than they're worth. Just realised the date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance ! I very much doubt it is a Mazda Capella at only 7 years old. The Capella is a mid 70's car that was replaced by the 626 and now 6 series, so I will assume it is a Mazda 6? I am no mechanic, but it sounds to me like the engine doesn't like being disengaged, ie. the neutral gear position isn't feeding the engine enough. This could be the result of too lean supply of fuel, especially on an incline (could be harder to get fuel through due to the incline). I would say, don't worry about it - just don't do it anymore!

So Capella series 2 I think it's some sort of limited edition . Thank you for your reply I will pass it on .The cutting out is a recent thing ,never done it in the past 7 years ,very strange !

geared Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The 1.4 Ford engines they use do have issues with the idle air control valve, causing them to cut out approaching junctions and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazeppa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I had a similar problem with a cavalier, turned out to be a corroded wire on the fuel pump. Different car, I know, but it might be a pointer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpler systems with just the one ignition coil and ignition leads are much cheaper. From £27 on ebay, for my Scenic, not that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
