Strange Missfire Issue

My 32 has developed a weird missfire latley and i'm buggered if i know what is causing it. The car drives normally for about 20 minutes, then a slight miss appears under boost and it get worse and worse until the car is almost undrivable, even idle is awful.

The strange thing is if you leave it for a while, then drive it again, it drives normally for 20 minutes and then the miss comes back just as it did before.

Now if it was a coil pack or a plug you would think the miss would be there all the time but it only shows up after driving for a while, starts small and get worse and worse.

I'm going to pull the plugs out and check em and the coil packs aswell this weekend but if anyone had any other ideas i'd appreciate it.

Cheers

i doubt whether its your coils. You mite wanna get a compression test and a leak down test to make your its not your cylinders. I had a similar problem with missing and what not and i am in the process of a full engine rebuild at the moment. Not saying im right....might be worth a check tho to save yourself chasing your tail.

Hey hey,

Had a similar prob, but was only misfiring and losing power at high rev's and high boost.

But yes, it was the coil packs that were causing the problem. I ended getting a set of Splitfires that fixed the problem. Also tried perrmatex hi-temp gasket silicone to seal the coils, that worked except when running max boost(you just feel the misfire)

Any anywho have a read here.

Hope it helps,

Brad

Sounds like mine... :huh: will be watching this thread. Should keep each other up to date if either fixes the problem :P

Mine after 10-15 mins is shuddering a bit and sounds like the timing is waaaay out... Sound familier?

Oh and I've just serviced my coil packs and the're all in ecell nic.. Have'nt tested them though.

      Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?

      Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example.

      I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary

      How To Fix Tacho, R33 (maybe)

      By stewart1 · Posted

      Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
