Popular Post Noj Posted October 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah, it's a pile of utter crap. His best solution is to burn it out, claim the insurance and buy something reliable and decent. Noj, telling it like it is since 1768 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I had a Jimny for 3 years, great wee go-anywhere motor. Unfortunately I can't offer any advice as the engine on mine was faultless during the time I had it. Try bigjimny forum for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RcROB Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 start the engine up, take 1 of the coil packs off 1 the top of the spark plugs 1 at a time. you will find the engine sounds worse, as you pull the coils packs off, 1 of them will not make a difference. am prity sour you will find the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesyba42p Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) People slating the jimny obviously know nothing about them!!! I have one and they are brilliant,will go places a defender etc wont and are much more reliable[emoji12] I can help but need a little bit more info..........what year is it?does it cut out when driving after extended periods of say 50mph+?if so does the Rev counter go mental when its "faulting"?if its turned off and left to cool does normal running resume? I think I know what it is but need further info before making a suggestion. Or do as someone else suggested goto bigjimny.com, my username on there is jonesyba420.

jonesyba42p Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 What brought her to that conclusion? If the symptoms were along the lines of the questions I asked would have suggested crankshaft position sensor,can test with a squirty bottle of water.someone on bigjimny.com might buy it.......better than scrapping it.
