Hey guys,

Not long ago, i posted up a thread cause i had a loud ticking noise coming from my engine somewhere....and with the support of you guys we found that it would most likely be the Hydraulic Lifters making the ticking noise.

I have since located a set of second hand lifters and the car is due to go in next week for repair. But before it does i have one question as i have found another symptom that has arised.

Whilst driving the car in normal conditions say along a highway, if i drop it back a gear and accelerate fairly hard, probably about 1/2 to 3/4 power...the engine will jump momentarily, a kind of misfire....

is this typical to a lifter issue? (im not very clued up on this kinda stuff)

Thanks guys.

unlikely, normally collapsed lifters will result in more noise, and slightly more wear on the camshaft (due to it not maintaining contact, but it would take ages to cause any meaningful damage). shouldnt have anything to do with what you descibed

with ur lifters, before u put the new ones in, i would go and test them all (and ensure theyre stored in oil). if u can noticably compress any with ur fingers, then theyre rooted. you should find some of your lifters will be fine (not all will have failed). if u have a plastic syringe handy, pump some new clear oil thru them (i think in the side, and it comes out the top) which might free any gunk in there (in the good ones)

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
