today i started up the car and it was grand for about a mile,then it started to idle between 500-1100.after that when i slowed to stop it would cut its self out and take about four trys to get it going.then i got into it tonight put started it i up.the idle was crap put it in first and when i put the foot down the revs went up but the car was going about 5-10mph and just spluttering.it was like it was miss firing all the way up the rev range.

i cant even drive the car now.i changed the plugs about a week ago to denso irduim and it was ok,i cleaned the maf and changed the bov to a standard dump valve.

i ordered new ngk plugs 07 heat range.if that dosnt work i will probley look into new coil packs.

i would suggest it might not be spark. try a fuel filter change first, they are cheap at around 30-40 dollars and should be done anyway.

Check the plug on the afm, and that none of the afm connector wires are damaged. How long ago did you clean it? people have mixed results from cleaning them

when coilpacks die, it is usually more of a "slowly get worse" than a sudden death, so i would be looking at other things first.

ther is always the take it to a mechanic option if you cant find it

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
