Hey guys,

back again as another problem arises..

Yesterday i was driving to work and hit full boost along came a pop/bang sound.

Now the car misfires very badly and has a very very rough idle and most times it would stall when it does rev heaps of black smoke (unburnt fuel) comes out.

Checked AFM plug & CAS plug both of them are on firm.

Even swapped over Fuel Pumps but no luck in solving the problem.

Now this does sound like a coilpack problem so tested each coilpack. 2-6 makes the misfiring more worse but coilpack 1 sounds like it doesnt make a difference when disconnected.

Before i go swapping coilpacks from my mates car is there any other solution?

Also when i press the accelerator it doesnt want to rev instead it wants to die out. This part doesnt sound like a coilpack problem moreso fuel related right?

Thanks

First off, swap your own coil packs around (eg, 1<->2) to determine if it's the coilpack itself, or something else like an injector.

Pull the spark plug to make sure it's still ok.

well i thought i had solved the problem but turns out i was wrong.. i originaly thought it was the afm because i unplugged it while the car was running and it went in to limp mode, once i plugged it back in it started to run like shit again. i bought a new one and fitted it but still have the same problem.. any suggestions woould be appreciated.

Mate if you were driving and u herd a bang.... and all of a sudden ur cars blowing black smoke ... does it cross your mind you may have a f**ked head gasket? or something "mechanical" not electronical / sensor problem ?

If it's blowing black smoke, it's not a head gasket.

Sounds like a cooler pipe or a vacuum line somewhere just toasted itself. Hence, the unplug the AFM and it wants to run okay.

wasent refering the black smoke to gasket was just a random suggestion .... if u read it properly...

thanks for the feed back guys, i will be pulling apart the cooler pipes and re fitting them to see if i have any split joins and will search again for any vacume lines which may have come loose.. i will post up the results..

and if anyone needs an rb20 afm green label i have a spare lol.

Check the intercooler pipeing

i had a almost the same thing happen once

hit full boost bang black smoke bugger!!!!

turns out the cer clip on the bottom intercooler pipe popped off

slipped it back on and replaced it with a j clip and problem solved

this was on a R33 mind you

finally fixed it.. feel abit stupid but yes it was the bottom intercooler pipe..just slipped out the bottom by 5mm which was enough to cause such a big headache..

still missfires abit but i think the plugs could have fouled up from running it so much.. i tested all the coilpacks and they are all working fine, so thanks heaps guys. :)

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
