How To Fix Missfire Problem

[MMM]

do the job properly and get splitfires

[MKDR33]

have a look on the other side for the split/crack..

also, safest cleaner would be CRC carby cleaner for this kinda thing..

do the job properly and get splitfires

some of us are students and must survive on rice and soy sauce to keep the beast running

btw if you gonna use the silicon sealer make sure you use the industrial grade stuff like MKDR33 said, as the normal silicon wont withstand high temperatures.

This stuff withstand up to 205c i hope it doesnt get much hotter than that in engine bay

i've attached a picture, a bit dark but should help. It cost just under $11 in bunnings, can't go wrong m8

i only started noticing a bit of a misfire above 4 grand since my fmic install. i will definately be trying this. Thanks guys, let you know how i go!

I for one cannot afford Splitfire coil

Cheers,

I did this yesterday night and it works a treat but i used tape and re-gapped the plugs down to 0.8 from 1.1 and also hot wire the stock boost solenoid to run 8psi all the time

The tape will shrink after a while... the only repair solution is the Industrial Grade Silicone... it has been way over 6 months since i have done my coil packs and (knock on wood) there is no misfire to be seen..

what part do you silicon on the s1 coils? do you have to leave the metal bit that bolts down clean or just soak it in the sh*t? i pulled my engine apart last night thought the timing belt jumped a tooth but after spendin 5 hours pullin things apart only thing left is the coils

[Rossman]

did it today boys....and worked perfectly as described.!!! thanks for the advice and keep the good coming. cheers.

i have left the metal brace clean, this does not affect the coilpack, but if you are soaking them you might aswell soak the whole coilpack..

buyin come silicon one weekend n hopefully doin this sunday, will let you know how i go

[2gceffy]

on the weekend i did this n it hardly made a difference, maybe get 1000 more rpm before it starts n is tiniest bit less harsh.. time to pull parts off n swap em til i find the problem now AHHH

[MKDR33]

u might need to clean ur coilpacks, and make sure ur spark plugs are regapped to .8

[RodMonsta]

i didn't have to regap my plugs to 0.8

just make sure the silicon covers ur coilpack around the area where it meets the rubber plug. thats where i found 2 tiny crack on my coils.

[MKDR33]

yeh, i didnt have to regap neither, but this fellow reckons he is still getting missfires, unless its running too rich, maybe he should try regap them just incase..

also its a good idea to regap if ur thinking of running over 12psi boost..

whereabouts are the cracks generally, and how far across does the tape need to go?any reason why not to tape around that whole section of the coil?pics would be much appreciiated, still dont quite know where to tape, and will be doing in the weekend again

cheers

They are hairline, you can barely see them. Get a magnifying glass and they should be more obvious. Tape the entire thing to be sure, a few wraps around every bit of it. Often there is blueish scalding there from the heat.

[nsta]

cool thanks, thats all i needed to know, so i can wrap the whole way around the coil.

cheers

[julion]

thanks for this!

Ill try it on the weekend!!
