Hi, was after a few ideas of things to check with my r33, the problem is soon as it starts boosting up it missfires to the point it just doesn't run, just coughs and splutters, this happens at about 4 psi, as soon as i back off runs perfect. Things i have tried to do to rectify the fault is change, ecu, spark plugs (all came out totally black), afm, cas, ignition relays checked, igniter (the earth seems good too, I asume its the one that goes under one of the coil holding frame bolts), JJR coils went in about a week before this happened aswell. I haven't yet pressurised the system to check for air leaks yet but all the cooler pipes seem well sealed.

cheers

im having same problem aye, did urs start doing it suddenly? me mate put 95octane in his skyline and the thing just startn to get worse and worse missing, we changed the plugs and fuel filter but thinking mayb the injectors are screwed

dont know anyone else with a 33, but i chucked the old coils back in and the problem is still there

plugs are bcpr6es

hook it into the fuel rail if its a standard pump at idle it should see around 40psi if this is the case then its alright but under load if it doesnt make anymore than that I would think your fuel pump would be dead.

i put in a walbro a few months back and when it primes it sounds strong but i will still check it, how did you look at the gauge under load, i will have to get my little brother to sit on the engine while i boost down the road.

after lots of stuffing around ended up buying a supercheap aircompressor to check for boost leaks and found a massive one so problem solved!!

it was where my first pipe off the intercooler joined with the crossover pipe just after it goes though the engine bay wall if that makes sense, it was joined with a silicone joiner it appeared as if it was perfectly sealed but the clamp was done up right on the edge of the metal pipe inside with a bit of air pressure it leaked like a siv. I'm a bit annoyed at myself that I didn't check the hoses more closely the first second and third time that i did it. Would of saved alot of stuffing around.

a picture speaks a thousand words so they say

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
