No this isnt another normal missfire thread.

My stagea sometimes when on light throttle or cruising will miss or cut out breifly, just for the tiniest amount of time, it will only do it once then go back completely normal, dosnt chug or splutter just a complete loss. It never does it under full throttle or boost, only light throttle and cruise.

I have checked my AFM's, cleaned them and all the plugs etc, checked for dry joints lose wire's.

I have removed my coil packs and cleaned them and all surfaces around them

I have checked plugs.

I cannot check for fault codes as im running a PFC and i dont have a hand controller.

Its not causing me any grief yet i wud just like to know what it is so i can try and fix it.

It seems electricall to me, maybe inginitor?

generally if it is only light load it won't be anything to do with ignition (however there are exceptions) as they normally more happen under load when there is mroe stress on the system.

i would be looking at things like IAC or AAC. if these get a little bit sticky they can be slow in opening and every now and then stick a little bit and cause a bit of a miss/flat spot. could also be your o2 sensor playing up and make the car go from running lean to rich and back to lean again which will make it feel as though it has lost power for a second.

Thanks for the reply.

The AAC valve is blanked off as it was causing it to idle around 1600rpm, i cleaned it all out twice made no diff so decided to block it off, was doing the miss before i did it.

I did check the O2 sensors when i borrowed a mates data logit, both were working at the time. I might ty and borrow it again and get some miles in with it.

Its not so much a feeling of loss of power, more like somebody switched the engine off for a split seond.

power FC bug. no doubt about it. you have described it exactly. some people have had success with adding grounding wires in particular add additional/better grounding point to the ignitor. search power FC missfire and I'm sure you'll find it. and yes it happens even with 8.04a version PFC.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and yesterday I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
