Hey guys, i was in the process of changing plugs when i noticed this ...

DSC00279.jpg

the little thing with the spring at the back bounced out and i couldnt find it, im assuming that the car's not driveable with it? regardless, I dont want to risk trying. Can someone tell me if i can get just that part somehow? or do i have to buy a whole new second hand coil pack?

Also, another one of these had just the spring inside when i opened it up ... and it was like that from before ... and the car was still driving :D

pls help, car's off road and i need to drive tommorow! I'm located in pascoe vale

p.s. yes yes i know my thumb twists in a weird way, but so does jessica alba's :)

no.. you won't be able to drive the car, unless you want to drive in cylinder mode.

I belive the spring makes contact with the top o the spark plug.

you can probabaly get away with it by using some spring in a ballpoint pen.

no they dont

my mates gtt the same

and my splitfires the same too

i have a cople spare coilpacks kicking nad there just a spring too

if i wasint lazy i would take a pic but i allredy know the answer

regards

you're saying they dont have the steel bit attached to the spring? cuz mines a gtt and it does have them

you say here u have a gtt

i was saying thats thats not a gtt coilpack

so u do have stock rb20

coool clears this up

gtts defenitly only have the spring

you're saying they dont have the steel bit attached to the spring? cuz mines a gtt and it does have them
Hopefully you noticed it missing before removing the plugs as the carbon piece and spring could be in your engine now.

haha nah i actually saw it fly out near this wooden stage thing i have in the house, can't reach it now but yea not in the engine thank god :mellow:

ok opened all of them up and took the carbon bits and springs out ... they were filled with TONS of crap ... washed it all over and over and cleaned them all good .. replaced the missing one with just a spring i found lying around ... and its all sweet :-) running all good now much better then before. Will upgrade to spitfire coil packs later down the track but its all good for now!

    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
    • Ah. I dunno why, but I skim read your earlier post and thought the manual switch was to force it on, not force it off. I'd be tempted to have both. So, your two in series, and another in parallel with those. Or, a master arm switch, followed by the manual force on and the thermo in parallel. 6 and 2 3s.  
    • Yeah been doing it in an x shape. Do you reckon it's worth putting guide coat early where the filler isn't sanded down completely smooth? Reason I ask is because as I'm sanding it one part might be level which I don't need to sand anymore but the other part might be high so I can just focus on that instead of sanding across the whole repair area. I wonder if the putty is too thin, though the area is almost completely smooth before I do it as I've already put filler prior.
    • Just 2, and inline. One switch temp related other switch driver controlled.   I'm nearly in my head back to Arduino land for it...
