Hi all. I was driving normally and then parked to go in a store. Come outside after 20 mins and turn it on and it’s idling rough. Go to start driving and it sounds like a motorcycle almost. Missing bad under acceleration but under deceleration it smooths out again like normal. I just replaced the MAF but still have stock coil packs. I was wondering if that could be it. I don’t believe it could be like piston rings or anything because it smoothed out during decel and my oil pressure seemed fine. In fact it seemed there was no power loss either, just the really rough running. I thought it could be cause of spark jump? I ordered a set of R8 coil packs and the wiring harness from wiring specialists so I hope this fixes it but wanted to see if anyone had this happen to them or could know anything else that could be wrong. Thanks guys. (I’m attaching a video of my idle and accel and a picture of a stock coil pack)

Coil pack looks like its been shorting. First step put in some new plugs gapped down to 0.8mm. Thoroughly clean the coils and wrap with insulating tape.  This may fix it but new coils still a good idea.

Yeah I’m actually not too sure myself how it was running with original coils. 2 of the connectors were also broken, and one of the pins in one of the connectors was moving back and forth. I’m happy to be getting new wiring and better coils

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
