Sard 550 Cc Injectors On A Standard Ecu?/help

having some problems with my car it has been missing something shocking.

i have replaced the spark plugs as that is the easiest cheap quick fix but that didn't seem to have any effect.

any suggestions as to what could be causing my car to miss?

the best way i can describe it is the car drives fine for about 10 mins then as soon as i go to accelerate moderately hard it misses as soon as it comes onto boost.

then there on after that it does it constantly throughout the whole rev range for a further 5 mins then goes away totally for a lil while.

it has idled like a pig since i got it so the remap which was done on it is questionable so i was going to borrow someones standard ecu to see if that fixes the problem. but i am not sure whether it can do any damage to the computer or not.

any help would be appreciated or other suggestions as to what the problem could be.

ive explored the possiblility of coilpacks as it only does it when the car is hot but i would have thought once they are f**ked the car would miss the whole time.

what he ^ said

you won't damage the computer, but trying another one won't help either unless it's a remap also. even that will be questionable. sounds like the afm. change with a known good one. if all else fails take it somewhere with a dyno that known what they are doing ie tune remaps

If it's doing it when it's hot then it could be coils or maybe igniter or coil harness.

Mine was doing it due the internals of the plugs on the coil harness disintegrating. I butchered a mates harness and replaced two of the plugs and haven't changed my sparkplugs in months due to not wanting to bust any more harness plugs.

Ordered a new coil harness from rhdjapan last week, it's in Australia and left Melbourne last night.. w00t! I'll finally be able to change my plugs and put my splitfires back in! :thumbsup:

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
