running on 3 cyl after being jacked up

[Clausen]

Gday,

I had a strange thing happen today. After spending the whole afternoon replacing shocks and balljoints in my NA6, i went for a test drive, and for the first minute it was running on 3 cylinders. It didn't take long to go away.

The car spent a few hours with the front in the air, then a few hours with the rear in the air.

The only cause I can think of was that while jacked up some fluid must have run from somewhere to somewhere else, but I cant think of what it might be to make it run badly,

Otherwise i thought i may have knocked out a connector to something near the front shocker upper mounts, but I checked and it was all good.

Any thoughts?

I would look at the mis-fire as an independent issue and not relate it to the jacking.

I had a similar thing happen to me after working on the car, turned out that one of the cylinders had flooded, coupled with a very fouled plug that would not fire. Was totally un-related to the work I did. Maybe check the plugs

Check your plug leads.
