Hey People,

After finally returning back to Australia and being able to drive me car a fair bit, I have noticed a few little problems that I though might be solved through the forum.

1. Car is very hard when starting shortly after a long drive (so when hot)

2. Has a little constant misfire during idle and you can feel the power holding back in the higher revs.

I have serviced the vehicle and changed the plugs to a set of NGK coppers as well as a new Fuel Filter.

When changing the plugs they were quite black and the rear (6) looked quite burnt, also the valley cover looked quite burnt in the No. 6 spot. (excessive heat)?

The car has done 60,000 and only has a full 3" exhaust and Apexi Pod filter.

I had the car dyno'd a while ago and the A/F's were within range, the tuner said that the car was running properly, just suggested I get an aftermarket ECU. (probably for the rich & retard).

Hope the above info. will help people!

Cheers

Josh

markimak ur on the money.. it sounds more like leaking injectors to me. leaking injectors when hot will flood the throttle body with petrol if left for a period after a drive.. GreddyGo, im assuming it starts perfectly when the car is completely cold in the morning? if so, u have at least one leaking injector. the reason it will start good when cold is the petrol that has flooded the throttle body will, overnight evaporate thus letting the car start easily.

if this is your problem, take out all the injectors and have them pressure tested and hopefully which ever one is leaking can be cleaned. sometimes crap will deopsit on the end of the injector therefore not letting it close properly and thus causes the leaking.

Cheers Guys,

I have noticed that when I try to crank it sounds like the battery is very low, So i'm going to buy a new one tomorrow.

I didn't think you could pressure test side feed injectors?

I have thought about the Splitfires, but I might try the temp fix to see if I get some sort of change.

Cheers

^^ Cheers for that, always get them mixed up.

I changed the battery and did the ECU reset and the hard starting when hot has seemed to disappear.

But still have that little miss during idle, will have a look at coils this weekend.

Cheers

Josh

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
