well it seems its the zrs turn to play funny buggers,last week or so,on startup has been running on 3 cylinders,for about 30 sec,runs fine,but ive noticed that its drank nearly 2 tanks of coolant,it sounded like something was shorting out in the engine bay,whilst running,on first check for codes i got po304 misfire on cylinder 4,over the weekend i have had a gradual mayo on dipstick and under the cap,kel drove it today for 5 miles,and sayed engine management light was flashing twice,went out checked codes and got po303,po313,misfire on cylinder 3,misfire with low fuel detected,this is all i need after the zs giving up the ghost,rant over lol:no:

Dont sound good.

Not inlet manifold, or a coolant pipe leaking and a dodgy spark plug, or electrics to the plug??

changed img last feb,there is a pipe leaking at the back but its tight as hell,cant even move the pipe up anymore,seriously hoping its not all bad,checked plugs etc today all look ok,but i also noticed im getting no hot air,until i rev the car,and the temp sensor goes down,its like the thermostats jammed open again

Could be the water leak is letting the air in and causing an air lock in the heater.

Do they have those coil packs??? or leads that could break down.

Great pic Alan.

Glad your one is sorted, Alan and hope you can sort your problems Andy. Might be worth whipping the inlet off just to make sure.

I saw a cheap endescope on ebay the other day, wonder if you could have a look at the bore.

Just googled it and found this, nice bike by the way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee7Pr4XsDGw

Might shop if any water getting into number 4.

Or is this a bad idea, and wouldnt work???
