after reading about the plug under the inlet i decided to brave the rain and have a quick look........... i found this plug but couldn't see where it should be connected.....




while i was under the bonnet i checked the leads and plugs and found that none of the plugs have the silver cap on ...is this right???


with or without...

this is on a 6pot 2 litre.... ta

Sorry no idea bout the wire. Looks like it has been tied to the other wiring so I'd assume it is for something your car does not have!

The 6 pot 2.0 should be without the cap. Check all of your plugs, is it running ok at the moment?

no its not................... definately seems to be missing a couple of cylinders at least, its as though at least 2 cylinders are down maybe 3 it runs like a bag of poop,, after a while it gets a bit better but not much , thats why i was looking for the plug under the inlet..........

they should not have the caps on the plugs, i wonder if the actuall leads have been damaged by someone trying to fit the leads with the "caps" attached

the Plug under the inlet just screws loose from the bottom

plug checked alls good.. had a poke around the leads , they are all around 4.8kohms give or take but i discovered that the new looking leads and diz cap are quite corroded so i'll cahnge them as a matter of course along with the rotor arm.... the plugs were replaced about a month ago... ta mick

Regarding the spare plug: Around once a week someone finds that and posts about it!
The plug and socket you are looking for are right in the middle of your pic., attached to the black metalwork. Water gets trapped under the lower boot, and attacks the wires, leading to half of the injectors losing their power feed.
