if you have the powerfc, do you have the hand controller... check things like the TPS voltage when it happens, air mass voltage ect and let us know these values.. also does the knock go right up? or engine light come on?

i have to ask how long have you had the car? it is time to learn the powerfc :no: i have a 34 GTT with an FC if you need some pointers... also read the documentation around the place.

If you know nothing about the PFC its best to leave it to sombody that does. Too many people that have no idea what they are doing decide to play gameboy with the handcontroller and then all sorts of problems come up. ie: engine failure.

Same thing happened with my 33 GTS-T

turns out it was coil packs failing

the way i found out was i pulled my plugs and closed up the gap .1 or .2

If this stops the missfire or reduces it under boost its time for some new coil packs :( and spark plugs to

i'd agree with d_C try check ur intercooler piping. when i first put my cooler on the guy didn't fit the piping on properly n car was fine on normal drivin as soon as it hit boost it just didn't wanna move. went back got it checked out found out the pipin was loose n had boost leaks put it back on n i was one happy chappy again lol

far out thanx guys didnt expect so much help on this, have a feeling its a coilpack or a few on thyre way out. all cooler piping is spot on not blown off or leaking as it is managing to get about 3psi but no more... come to think of it you could call it a severe missfire on more than one cylinder coz thats really what it sounds like while trying to gain boost. as far as the fc goes yes it has a hand controller, no i dont play with it as i know absolutly nothing about it and doesent interest me in the slightest (is actually hidden away under the dash away from curious people) but yea will try and get sum readings off it an let u gurus know , a couple of times the engine light flashed on and off briefly while revving it but didnt stay on, will try a few things and keep you guys posted. thanx heaps!! :)

be careful cause the engine light might be comming on due to knock which can turn out very bad if it happens too much.

I would be checking for fouled spark plugs mate.

I'm hoping the pfc is tuned as well and not just been installed?

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
