started on project "diagnose misfire" today

changed the plugs from NGK iridium to plain copper ones and gapped them at 0.6

cleaned the AFM and foam in the pod filter

tried to change the fuel filter, but couldnt get the bastard out

[Lazy-Bastard]

were you driving at the skidpan or just watching?

[BelGarion]

was just watching man

[BelGarion]

changing the fuel filter is a good thing to do.

did you have any success with project diagnose missfire?

[Lazy-Bastard]

is your beast back on the road yet?

[BelGarion]

nope, it goes off to uncle gavins tommorow

then the tuning starts

[BelGarion]

if what you have done hasnt solved the missfire, take it for a drive, do a few ks and then pull the plugs out one by one and check them

if they are being fired properly they should be blackened

if you find one that looks like its brand new or not as used looking as the others, then chances are the coil pack for that cylinder has flogged out

you will need to replace that one

thats what solved my misfire problem

Haven't taken it for a drive yet, so I'm not sure.

Got all the hose clamps off the fuel filter and then couldn't get the hoses off, so had to turn back.....got any tips?

[Lazy-Bastard]

any idea when you'll have it back?

[BelGarion]

theres also a way to check your coil packs with a multi meter but i cant remember how to do it

[BelGarion]

get a pair of pliers on the fuel hoses and give them a wiggle or something

[BelGarion]

thats how i got them loose, usually over the years they have melted a bit and end up stuck on

[Lazy-Bastard]

all the plugs I pulled out looked about the same colour.....greyish....so it looks like the mixture is OK

Couldn't see any obvious cracks or anything in any of the coils, but that prolly doesn't mean much.

I'll take it for a drive later and see how it goes....if it's still missing I might wind the boost down a bit, coz since I fitted the dump and FMIC it seems to max at about .8 or .85 BAR

yeah...I think that's what's happened to mine....makes you wonder how long it's been since the fuel filter was changed

[BelGarion]

yer but since youve put fresh plugs in since the missfire has started

the one that isnt firing as much will show up

[BelGarion]

yer i doubt mines ever been changed. my fuel pump hoses were hard to get off when i had to get the stock pump outta the tank too

[Lazy-Bastard]

yer but since youve put fresh plugs in since the missfire has started

hmmmm...true....shoulda left the plug cover off for a few days...

[BelGarion]

im gonna bail, ill talk to yas later on

[Lazy-Bastard]
