V6 Sounds like running on 5 cylinders

[richieboy2008]

Hello,

Just took my v6 4motion out and after about 5 mins, the emmissions light came on and the car sounded like it was running on 5 cylinders. Any ideas???

Many Thanks

Rich

have it scaned, i should think that is it? happend to me about 8months ago, emmissions light came on, had it scaned missfire on cyl 5 new spark plug + HT problem solved, about 2 months later running bit bad again, so had them all changed, the cause of the problem for me was broken lambo probes making engine run rich and sooting up sparks, so have a good look at the problem, hope this short bit of info is of help to you.
