Gtsboy yea I seen the prices but I might be able to rent one. It does seen a little to advanced for my inexperience, the thing is my car needs to pass safety before I can pull the motor or do anything drastic. I just need the motor to run fine for the inspection. Is it the low compression in that cylinder that's causing the misfire? The engine does have a loud tick now
Bick033 ok I'm going into town tomorrow and I will get one, I couldn't really put much time into the car today as that's all I've been working on all week, and this is my last few days off work and I will be gone away for awhile so I had to do some work around the acreage. I put the plug up agains the breather and couldn't see a spark, but I will go buy the oscilloscope tomorrow and try it
So I did a compression test and I got values starting from the firewall back, 105/140 after a cap of oil, 130, 150, 150, 145, 140. I didn't waste time putting a cap of oil in the cylinder that's at 130, or the rest of them
Xklaba, the last compression test had shown that there was 135-140psi between all cylinders, but when I did that compression test it was really cold still I'm not sure if the cold would have effected the results by thickening the oil, bick033 I got a regular test light would that be fine? An oscilloscope is that just another word for timing light?
Ok thanks, I did a compression test awhile ago and numbers were good, but noticed the previous owner over filled the motor with oil and I drained some of it out and did a test again today and numbers did not look too good, I called it a day and I'm going to do another test tomorrow and see what that shows, I will do a compression test before and after I drop a cap of oil in the cylinder.
My you saying swop for known working one? It's not that easy to get gtr parts here in canada, people are dic#s about skylines and hrs cars here do not much available
Yes xklaba I've swapped the ignitor with a known workings ignitor still no luck, the car boosts great now and wants to rev up but the mis is just to bad. It's also a little harder to start, won't start without a little gas, I've stripped my wiring loom and there was a bunch of joins in it, ok not sure if they were supposed to be there but doesn't look like a factory harness would be spliced joined and taped.
so my car seemed to run good for a few days, i was not driving the car because of the snow and im getting it inspected, but now the mis fire is gone really bad, i found a boost leak between the intake manifold and intercooler, theres spark at all the other coils except the coilpack closest to the fire wall, i need help please!
I have a 1991 gtr and there's like a lumpy noise coming from the muffler sounds as if there's a train running over some tracks in my exhaust, anyone had this happen to their gtr before?
