Ford Wheel Spinning

[anoakes]

May sound a bit strange but when ever i pull out of a road or junction it sound like my car is dong a wheel spin, even if i pull out really slowley. Not to sure why this could be. Any Ideas?

Its only been doing it since yesterday morning.

Try changing the coil pack.

 

[anoakes]

well i have actually just done that, do you reckon it may be the new coil pack? coz i put a coil pack on which was for a ford focus in stead of a fiesta?

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Could be, coil packs can do that on some models.

 

[anoakes]

REALLY??? how does that work then?

Surley its something to do with the wheels

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Coil Packs need to be mapped to th engine management, otherwise too much power can end up at the wheels and wheel spin can result.

 

[anoakes]

hmmmmm...........how do i go about mapping? Never heard of it to be honest. I dont really understand what you mean. I dont know how to map the new coil pack to my car.

Try the correct coil pack first!

Failing that, it could be the flux capacitor

what is this sound like?

do your tyres leave black marks on the road?

do you recognise the squeal of a slipping drivebelt?

No, I think it's the coil pack being not mapped
