So I thought I had all my misfiring problems sorted but nope its back again!!!

Now it is missing after I drive it for a long time on the highway. Usually driving to work and back i give it a bit through the gears and i dont notice it missing, but when I just cruise it on the highway for a while and then try and give it a hit it just misses like crazy. After I drop it down a few gears and take it to redline a few times it gets better.

My theory is that it is running rich and fouling up the plugs, there is a fair bit of exhaust build up on the back of the car and I have seen unburnt fuel spitting out the exhaust.

Any ideas what I should be looking at/changing?

plugs done 2000k's, already got yellowjacket coils, running a covered pod, replaced 02 sensor with a falcon one a couple months ago..

someone has told me to change all the hose clamps on the cooler pipes to those beefy bolt down ones incase it is leaking boost.

My battery is a bit sus as well, could low voltage cause a misfire?

Have you tried unplugging a coil at a time too see what cyl is miss firing? i have brand new yellow jackets that lasted 2 weeks before one died lol. Also the beefy bolt down ones is just a wank factor, unless your running 50psi+ I wouldnt bother, you'd split your hoses before the clamp let go..

it doesn't miss until I jump on it but...

I've got standard NGK plugs with a 0.8 gap

I've only got the stock boost gauge atm and it was sitting about halfway between the 3.5 and 7 mark...

Turned it down so that it sits just on the 3.5 mark.... it has helped a bit, but I can still hear it missing occasionally.

I have found that once it starts to miss if I turn it off and let it cool down a bit the problem goes away for a while until it gets warm again...

its permanently disconnected at moment cause the dump pipe that i got made has no hole for it, and the car idles like a subaru and hesitates just over idle and thru the revs a bit too, just wondering if its only important for crusing?

That's probably your cause - when you disconnect the 02 sensor you are most likely adding 25% extra fueling throughout the entire rev range even onto load.

ah ok, that explains it then, cause when its cold its especially lumpy, after a long drive its calmed down a bit, but still sounding like very lumpy cam , which i have no complaints with, cheers for the reply been scratching head about this for weeks.

Haha dude, thanks for taxing my thread! lol

Ive just bought a new turbo from hypergear...SS1PU, so ill try putting that on with new injectors and Z32 AFM and tuning it and see if that solves anything.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • 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
