the temp here has only dropped to 20-18 deg so i wouldn't think its much colder than when i use to go out at night in the summer.

How can i tell if its missing.

I have yet to check my plugs and coils and leaks so ill do that very soon.

I have done a bit of limiter bashing so my plugs my be looking a bit sad :stupid:

You say boost cut, I'm assuming you really mean Fuel cut.

So your on boost then all of a sudden the car stops accelerating like you've flicked the key to off. So not popping and not missing.

You take your foot off the accel then put your foot back on and it starts driving as per normal.

Is that what you are referring to?

Thanks guys i have just cleaned and re-gapped my plugs to .8mm

and checked for cracks and burn marks on the coils and all seems to be ok

the prob has now gone with the re-gapped and cleaned plugs so prob is fixed short term.

so looks like ill get some new plugs and look into some spitfires for the long run

Thanks for ya help

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
