Seat Ibiza 1.2 not starting. Help!

[Caza1998]

Hello everyone! Basically I was waiting in McDonald's cue and suddenly the eml light comes on and then it jumps into limp mode so I turn the car off and back on and drove her home after worrying. I need my car for work as I'm a delivery driver so I carryed on driving her (stupid me) and it has progressively gotten worse, I plugged diagnostics in and it comes up misfire 1 detected so I replayced all ignition coils and spark plugs and still nothing! So I read up and thought maybe my injectors are bunged up with dirt so I put sk injector cleaner in but not reading the instruction I put the full bottle in on less than a quarter of tank as I thought I could take it to the petrol station and fill her up after words, now she won't start at all. I must mention the car would not like to idle and after it sitting for a minute it would jump straight into limp mode. Someone please help I have a baby on the way and can't afford to fix every part on this car. The car still cranks and it has had compression test and everything is fine but apparently by a mechanic the car has no spark either? So I'm confused to which it was either injector cleaner or iv knackered something else without knowing. I know this is long but prefer to explain everything so I can get a better explanation. Thank you all!!!

I think you've got 2 seperate problems here. The not starting is almost certainly down to putting so much cleaner in. What ratio of cleaner to fuel was it meant to be? If it's miles out then i'd get your mechanic to drain the fuel system, and maybe even the tank if you can't get the ratio right by filling it to the brim with petrol.

If what the mechanic says is true and you haven't got a spark, then you should definitely have a fault code. Seems strange to me though. Seeing as it only happened after you put the injector cleaner in, it would be a big coincidence to then have a unrelated spark issue....

You need to get the car plugged into VCDS/vagcom to see what is going on with the eml. The fault could be 100's of things and just replacing random parts will cost you a fortune and probably still won't solve the issue.
