Hey guy's and girls

Having a few probs with my ride and was wondering if any of you had some advice. I’m having a problem with my engine but i can’t seam to find the cause of it. If i drive the car for a bout 15 min she's fine or if I take it out on a cold night I can drive her for hours with not problems at all. but if I drive it during the day for any more than about 15min the idle of the rpms drop and it sound's like two cylinders have bummed out, the tone of the exhaust changes and the engine losses all its power. At first I thought it may have been something simple like spark plugs or fuel filter so I had them replaced with no success. I thought the engine might have been running rich, but if so when I pulled the old spark plugs out they shout have been black but they weren’t really black at all and still looked new. I want to take it some were to be looked at but don’t know who to trust. Evo look like the dodgiest guy's I’ve ever met and wouldn’t trust em as far as I could throw em, and fast and the furious don’t look that reputable ether. I live in narabahnda so if anyone knows what the prob is or can direct me to someone that could help would be much appreciated

Thanks

u said its fine on a cold night, so immediately i think it could be something to do with the radiator?

everyone seems to recommend integra automotive in QBN, so give them a buzz?

[Amaru]

Integra Automotive in Queanbeyan. Ring them on 62329329 and book your car in to get checked out. When you drop it off, have a chat to Ed

[race_snooze]

hey it might be vac hoses loose, intercooler pipes loose, 02 sensor, coil packs over heating, check out the where to get car serviced thread and i am sure you will find someone in there that can help, i would personal recommend Trojan and Integra

[oscar32]

No no to Evo.

thanks guys got my car booked in for thursday at intergar we'll see how she go's

Have you checked the Ignitor.......a few have had probs so now it's just a running comment/joke.

On my GTS_T it was the ignitor at fault.

It affects the spark deliverd if faulty, particularly when warmed up.

Sounds similar but as pointed out it can be a multitude of things. Start with the least expensive remedy. Spray the AFM with some Carby Cleaner, Swap your ignitor with a known working one and try it out. Coils ? Same with most things use the process of elimination.

or see ED

got pod filter? checked the AFM?

[Viper_r32]

yes i have a pod filter but forgive me what is AFM dose it stand for ---- fuel management?

[Viper_r32]

by the way supafly was it your car i saw parked at wakefield on saterday

[SupaFly Skyline]

yeah was me at wakefield,

AFM is your Air Flow Meter, your pod filter should bolt onto it, sometimes the "wet" type pod filters can cause the hot wire in the AFM to get dirty, which can affect the fuel, i doubt thats your problem, but its something to check anyway

I'd put money on idle control

[Stevie]

If Ed comes up empty see John at Trojan, he'll probably hear the problem from 100ft away and have it fixed by the time you've opened your door to have a chat...

No seriously they know them inside out. I hope you can get it sorted!

[Viper_r32]

well im still having probs at least i know its not the AFR, the coil packs, the ignitor, the plugs or the fuel filter. so some one at just jap said to try the cam angle sensor, so the cars booked in agen this week at integra. Ed said he wouldent chage me if i was still having problems after changing the igntor. but i did notice integra dont seam to have an ECU diagnostic machine? thought that was a bit weard

They do, but as per 99.9% of other workshops in Australia, they dont work on JDM models. Most workshops buy ones that can diagnose locally manufactured cars (e.g. Commodores and Falcons), and theyre tailored to cars which were sold in Australia... the skyline is a JDM import

I do know that Ed was looking at a new one that I think could do JDM cars, otherwise swing past Nissan and ask them to plug in the Consult and take the results to Ed

[race_snooze]

so what was the out come.......

[Viper_r32]

thanks for your help guy's. my problem was a combination of a faulty coil and a faulty ingnitor. but its all fixed now and I'm ready to do some crusin.

[race_snooze]

good work
