Hi guys, today i was driving on the motorway and out of nowhere my ceffy starts sounding like a wrx?! i was like 1km away from the inlaws so i practically rolled to their place. It would run smoothly then start misssing on and off. So i left it for a while and a couple of hours later started it and it ran fine, so i took it for a drive round the block but it seems way down on power. Any help or ideas would be great as i have to drive 2hrs home tommorow. thanks

thanks i will have a look, would this cause it to be so down on power? its weird because its never done anything like this before. Also the catch can seems to have filled up fairly fast since the last time i checked.

Turned out to be a combination of things, igniter pack plugs were corroded, the connection between coil pack and the top of the spark plugs had been arcing badly and also a coil pack has shit itself. Thanks for the help guys

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.

      I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.

      My R32 GTST From Canada

      Finally had some time after working on other projects to jump back on this thing. Pulled all 4 wheels to check the brakes over and lucked out, only needed to bleed them/change fluid to get everything working!    Took it for its first quick spin (around 2km) up the road and ran great! Sounds like I have a left rear wheel bearing that needs replacing and there’s a shake in the steering wheel but the tires are absolutely junk on this thing and had been sitting flat when I went to first look at the car so we’ll see if that’s the cause.   Tach randomly started working but I notice if my hicas light comes on the tach stops working 🙃 yay for electrical gremlins
