It started at engine load at first, I changed the spark plugs to iridium plugs since they were recommended to me by the dealer I purchased the car from.

The miss started shortly after I got the 3 1/2 inch exhaust added and the bleed valve. It only happened at about > 5000RPM and the misses were very close together and continuous. Since then I have tried removing the bleed value and several other solutions such as changing the plugs back to standard platinum plugs. Also tried resetting the computer several times.

Both of these solutions seemed to have helped in the short term but then the problem started shortly after once again.

I have now noticed there is a miss once the car warms up at idle but it is very intermittent, it doesn't happen all the time and the idle RPM seems to vary and not stay at a constant.

I've been wondering if it could be the mass air flow sensor? Is there a test to see if this component is faulty?

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers

:D

Sounds like it could be the AFM (Air Flow Meter). Cheapest way to test it is to swap it with another one to see if that resolves the issue...

It's easier with a GTR as you can disconnect one or the other and it will run off one AFM and stall if it's running off the faulty one!

Ask someone if you can temporarily swap it with someone else, maybe a mate that has the same car!

Also you could try getting the O2 Sensor checked, guess I should have checked what sorta car you have before posting lol. I just saw the thread and thought i'd have my lil say :D

Good luck mate..

Its very very easy to check if the air flow meter is faulty, unplug it and start the car, see if it idles all over the place like it did before.... if not then plug it back in... while the car is still going.... and listen for any changes...

as soon as you plug the afm back in... if the car changes idle speed and carries on... then it must be the afm that is faulty...

very very easy....

Sounds like coils may have small cracks, and one or more of them arent working due to it? You are running higher boost and under load std parts tend to break.

Do a search on mis-fire or coils or sparks and there seems to be alot of info. :D

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
