Ok so over the weekend i installed a FMIC. and had a few flat spots, ect, trimed up the SAFC II and redid the timing, and all good, no problems, car ran fine.

I got a flat batery, i forgot to turn my lights off, so the computer reset itself. Eitherway, after a charge the batery went back in and the car ran fine, but i did not thrash it as recomended after an ECU reset, as i was driving on the highway with my family.

So the car just ran, and seamed fine. I gave the car a gut full a few times on the highway and no problems no missing, nothing.

So this morning, going to work, gave the car a boot full, and i got missing at 4500rpm to 5500rpm, and then nothing and pulled fine all the way to 7000rpm, i made sure that it wasn't a once off, and definatly not. Seamed to happen constantly. Tried to fiddle with the SAFC II, but it all seamed thesame.

SO i already have the sparks set to.8mm and retaped up. I tried to do my idle and timing but, for some reason i can not get the idle to drop below 900 rpm with the TP off as the manual sugests, which means a littel unsure about timing seting.

The car is runing 8-9 pis boost, FMIC, 3' exhaust turbo back, hks pod and intake. New fuel pump, new 02 sensor and ecu temp sensor. and Adjustable fuel pressure reg ect.

The symptoms seams a lot worse when the car is cold, and only occur under 100% throtle. If i am off the throtle a bit 80% it does not miss. Once above 5500rpm no missing, pulls fine all the way to the top.

The only thing i am thinking of is the coils and plugs again and the computer reset. I am also goignto chech for leaks and clean my AAC valve.

Help with any advice, i realy love my car, but am becoming a little dishartened about all the little nigles that happen once you start to play with it.

HELP, please anyone.

ALSO>>>>>>>> how do i check for vacume leaks and exhaust leaks, best way that is.

my Air Flow Meter is the original one 72K on the clock. I had cleaned it ect some time ago, and it looks very good.

I still have standard coils and coperhead plugs gapped to .8mm, and i am preadty sure it's my coils, i rad the big post after i did some more searching. I i am going to get some hi grade hi temp silicon and silicon up the coils to see if teh problem goes away. if not, something else is amiss.

yeah i had already previously taped up my coils for luck, just to make sure, but the problem is back, it missed when i first got the car, now it does it again.

So tonight i am goign to get some silicon and silicon the bastards up.

Does anyone know if this trick would work on a series 2 without an igniter pack.

Is it an R34? I had the same issue and tried regapping plugs and taping coils, in the end I had to get splitfires to solve the problem. About the cheapest you can get them is $550~ delivered from Japan.

I'm sure if all the R34 owners on here that've upgraded to splitfires pooled their old coilpacks we'd have about 50 that still worked fine... it's just a bitch taking them in and out to find out which are the faulty ones.

unfortunalty mate shes an R33, and i have my cover off so it's preaty easy. I am looking at doing a wasted spark setup, but at the moment, no money, need a temporary fix as i drive the car every day.

SO i'm going to silicon them up, well and see how it goes from there.

make sure you check for cracks between the coil packs and the rubber bit that covers the spark plug.

Out of my 6 coils i found a crack in 2 of them, and thats where i found all the cracks, good luck

Well did it all last night, used heaps of silicone, no plastic showing, non what so ever, and still misfire. only at 4500 and 5500 rpm.

ONLY small though. I think it might be ritch and retard, as when cold at 6 am the car is boosting to 10psi and when warm only to 8.5 psi.

And when warm the car runs fine, no probs.

I am going to setup a wasted spark ignition system, went to see the boys at Automotive solutions, and boy are they handy, got all the peaces priced with custom cut lenght leads, a total of $150 but i still need a cheep igniter.

DAM IT.

WHAT ELSE CAN I TRY???

i will regap to .7mm if missfire disapears, definatly coils, if not R&R

Edited by WogsRus

it miht be a loose connector on the ptu (little black box on top of com covers at rear that sends power to the coils)

at that rpm you might be getting a harmonic that is causing a loose contact to dislodge in the ptu

worth a try...

nope not tuned properly yet, going in on tusday. The weird thing is i do not understand why missfire ONLY when cold.

It's hard to dignose as i can only show somone when it DAM cold. LOL

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
