I'm trying to sort out an ongoing misfire problem. It is intermittent, I haven't been able to work out any real pattern to it. I have so far replaced sparkplugs, coilpacks and the coilpack loom with no luck. The only extra clue I've got is that one of my sparkplus was a bit white. Looks like that cylinder might be running a bit lean. I'm thinking maybe that fuel injector is clogged. Does this sound right? Car is R32 GTR.

Does it missfire under load, light thorttle or idle?

Think I must have reset the fault codes before I checked it last time because I just took it for a drive until it started missing again and then pulled over and checked the fault codes again. Got a 21, ignition circuit. So with that in mind and the fact that I've replaced coilpacks and loom what's next to look at?

I pulled the ignition amp out today and tested it with my dvom. I'm not really sure what it is supposed to read normally, but testing the resistance across the amp showed some unexpected results.

Bear with me as I try to explain it.

When I connect wires 1-6 on one side with any of the wires 1-6 on the other, there is a circuit. There is quite a bit of resistance but it still makes a circuit. When connected with the earth, there is almost no resistance. The exception is wire 4. When wire 4 is connected to any other, the resistance is twice the reading on the other wires and when wire 4 connected to the earth wire, the resistance is off the chart.

So obviously the connection to wire 4 is stuffed. But should all the wires have a circuit with all others? Doesn't seem right either.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
