Hey all,

I have a 97 Stagea with the rb25det which is the series 2 engine and am having an issue with the car missing once the car is warmed up.

I've tried the basic things like:

- clean afm

- replace afm with a known working one.

- new plugs

- wrapping coil packs in electrical tape

- testing coilpacks. I get nothing with these as when the car is cold it runs perfect.

So, I'm getting down to the harder stuff now and am blaming it on the coilpacks.

Is there anyone out there with a set or even a single one I can borrow for cash or beer so I can narrow this fault down before forking out for a new set.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Shaun

Check your spark plugs again, see if they are all black covered by unburn fuel. if so then it is most likely

the ECT sensor (Engine Coolant Temperature). Locate near the thermostats housing.

What it does, it sends signal to the ECU to tell what temperature coolant is and adjust the fuel mixture accordingly.

So if the sensor is not working properly, even when the coolant is hot, the ECU still think the coolant is cold

and still gives really rich fuel mixture and result in heaps of unburn fuel and rough idling and engine spluttering and

coughing black smoke out the exaust when the engine is hot.

Hope this help mate and good luck.

PS : ECT sensors are roughly $30 retail price, and you can use the one from Nissan 350Z or 200SX or even Navara.:thumbsup:

    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
    • I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.
    • Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
