HeathGTST Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Fellas, I got a miss fire in my beast, I changed the plugs this morning and put brand new ones in of the same type, I think they are BCPR7ES 11 and regapped them to the reccomended .8mm and all was fine and i did about 45klms driving and on the way home i filled it up with synergy 8000 from mobil which is 98octane fuel and now she has developed a missfire at around 5,500-6000rpm and the clears up again... Could I have just got a dodgey batch of fuel?? The other thing i noticed is that my HKS mushroom filter had come lose a bit and i think maybe it was sucking in un filtered air.... would that make a difference? If i gapped down my plugs to say .7mm from .8mm would it make a difference? thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/55510-missfire-help-reqd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Sounds like plugs or coils could be both. Tape up your coilpacks with duct tape from the top to the bottom on the ruber boot. Might be the plug try BCPR6ES ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/55510-missfire-help-reqd/#findComment-1082484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also change the filter foam, if the filter is comming apart that is not a good thing.

TurkeySlapper Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I had to close my gap to .6 to stop misfiring, now goes like a champ. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/55510-missfire-help-reqd/#findComment-1083294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I had to close my gap to .6 to stop misfiring, now goes like a champ. then you probably need stronger coils. A small gap might stop a missfire but it will produce less power.
