Anyone seen this in a Yellow Jacket Coil Pack?

Yet another misfire,

R33 Gtst unmolested

intermittent, yet continuous when occurring. Subsides after a minute or so

Drives perfectly 90% of the time

New Plugs, new fuel filter

Did attempt to wrap the packs to no avail.

Cash is tight at the moment, trying to avoid replacing these again.

Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

Thank you

If you can't find any info on yellow jacket coil-packs dying on these forums, I'm sorry to say you obviously haven't searched hard enough

Mate you'd be surprised... The canadian stagea owners swear by YJ's and the shit Autobahn88 sell...

 

You can lead a horse to water...

 

Aaand, i never did get my refund or replacements for my 6 coils melting.

The search function on the forums is pretty awful. I think the guys here have just seen a few threads in their time from browsing, but these don't always show up in search reliably.

First thing's first: suss out which one is playing up. Mine used to do it when idling, so I was able to pull the wiring loom from each one until the idle didn't get even lumpier, then I'd know which one was problematic. Then I tested that coilpacks in a different cylinder to rule out the wiring loom as an issue - the problem followed the coilpack.

Once you've done that, check out the coil spring - it may be too short or not seating properly. Either buy a second hand OEM one to replace it in the meantime or contact Paul from Performance Wise - he was pretty good when I had coilpack issues and sent me one for free when I sent him back the faulty one. I ended up with another issue down the track though and I'd had them for 5 years so I figured it was time to update - went to splitfires and they haven't missed a beat I have to be honest. The YJs were good as a bargain for a few years, but long term not so sure. Time will tell if the splitfires are much better.

    • 100% this, no point delivering a steam oven when the client just wanted a toaster 
    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
    • Would you mind uploading the pics again in your steps?  It’s not showing up. 
    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
