On the recent long weekend me and my mrs went to canberra to get away, anyway as i enteredt canberra on the friday nite my 32 started to misfire and was acting up something servere.

Anyways the next morning i went out of the motel started it up and it was fine... We went out and as i started it a couple hours later it started to play up again on the way up to telstra tower.

Anyways after towing it to a mechanic he said it seemed to be something to do with the ecu because he cleared a ignition error on the ecu. Which turned out to be bullshit because it started doing it again afrter towing it back up to sydney.

So far i have been trying everything i can think of, i have changed spark plugs, coilpacks, ignitor, and even got my hands on a stock unchipped ecu to see if it would cler the problem but seems not to be.

What its doing is popping and carrying on between 2500rpm and it wont rev over 5500rpm. It pops sounds like its on limiter and it backfires.

Another member of the forum seems to think its the cam angle sensor? Could this very well be the problem? Also when it tries starting it will want to kick over but then starts mucking up like cutting in and out but its hard to explain exactly over the net...

Let me know guys i need it running asap.

Scotti.

it sounds like you have changed everything.. its a long shot but could your timing belt have jumped a tooth, i dont see how the CAS would cause suck missfiring etc.. would just advance or retard the timing if it has slipped. it might be shot though..

also put a cupful of metho in the tank to get rid of water in the fuel. that could be your problem?

loom might be stuffed?

apart from that im stumped as you seem to have checked all the obvious ones

if you do figure it out let us all know what it ended up being.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.

      And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
