Haha glad to see this thread is helping lots of people with missfire problems.

All you guys who have bout splitfires and fixed the missfire problem, are you running sparkplugs with a 0.8mm gap or the stock 1.1mm gap?

Glad to hear. Coils should last a long time. Now to save $500

Do you think its worth checking the injectors (pulling the injectors out and getting them cleaned, or even running injector cleaner through) before i spend an arm and a leg on the splitfires?

Up to you. I know that my missfire is electrical so getting splitfires will fix it. If your coilpacks are going ok then getting splitfires wont help much. U can usually feel if its because somethings dirty and cloged up like injectors or sparkplugs compared to when the coilpacks are not producing a strong enough spark. Maybe try cleaning the injectors first as its cheaper and cant hurt. Otherwise you could take it to a tuner and get their opinion of what they think is the problem.

Hope that helps :P

Well it depends when it all started happening. My car started doing it ever so mildly when I put my fmic on. Then it was missfiring horribly when I put my exhaust on.

So I knew that they were they were the problem, I just didn't know how to get rid of the missfiring until I read this thread.

In other words, if your car started missfiring for no reason at all, I would probably get it looked at. But if you placed a FMIC on or similar it's most likely the coil packs. Thats what happened to me.

I put on the fmic and it was fine, i put on a turbo back exhaust and it was alright, it wasnt misfirring but the car wasnt smooth, it would pull to about 6 grand and then pull much harder from 6 to redline. I then put on a avc-r and still the car wasnt misfirring. After a week or so ir just started happening randomly, and now it even does it on standard boost (when avc-r is turned off).

Yeah rb engines start misfiring when breathing mods are upgraded. Exhaust, intake - cooler. Increasing boost will cause it to misfire too. This is because the coilpacks are old and weak. You will need to get new coilpacks or gap spark plugs till you get some.

I "had" the misfiring problem. Not anymore since the 6 coil packs and coil pack harness arrived yesterday. Three of my coil packs are clicking badly like every 4 sec and then the car jerks aka misfire. I changed 3 of the coil packs (front the front of the engine, the 1-2-3 ones. I also dropped the new coil pack harness (my old one was like what a dog would chew on) and no more misfire. Car runs smooth now. The initial problem was that my car only misfire at idle. I also have a FMIC Installed. Everything is stock atm.

Btw i got the used coilpack and harness from Raw Brokerage. Great service and the price was cheap (compared from my local wreck shop)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
