Recently had a wobbly misfire with code 1320 and went through the rounds of replacing spark plugs, no result, pulling coils to see what cylinder etc you know the story. 

Found cylinder one had the misfire and the misfire followed the coil into different cylinders when swapped so its definitely that coil. 

Easy fix so I bought a coil off trademe for $38 and boom no more misfire. However the check engine light is still coming on and showing p1320. I've reset it using the accelerator pedal method and it does go away, but it comes on again the next time the car is restarted, with the same code 1320.

The misfire is totally fixed I just need the MIL light to go away, any ideas?

 

The $38 china coil seems to work perfectly but maybe it's still just throwing a code bacause it's got incorrect resistance or something?

I wouldn't put a $38 coil in my car...especially not in a boosted car. You don't know that its working perfectly you only know that it appears to work. Also I would tend to buy 6 coils as the others are probably on the way out too.

Yeah you're right that's what I get for being a cheapskate

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
