When you say replaced...

How?

With known working ones?

2nd hand ones? (that are unknown?)

etc

Igniter pack - known working one

Coilpacks - known working ones

Plugs new

Fuel regulator - known working one

Injectors - new

Z32 AFM's - Used (unknown condition)

Replaced all hose clamps - New

checked all possible air leaks.

new power fc (used)

new o2 sensors (new)

New temp sensors (new)

New ignition wiring harness. (new)

cas - known working one

Hmm i had this issue, went through everything coils, plugs, vac leaks.. it ended up being carbon buildup inside the head which was causing the valves not to seat correctally. Had it run a a Carbon Clean machine and my tuners workshop and it fixed the issue. :D now got a nice idle and no miss. By the way i believe this to have been caused by me running the PowerFC Basemap for so long and it running rich as. Ive got no idea where you could find someone with one of these.. there aparantally rare as!

Ive included a pic its the funny red thing connected into my fuel system:

Thanks for the reply :D

My head was completely overhauled cleaned and with all new gear fitted (bar stock cams).

cheers.

is the plumb back bOV working i had an issue with the turbos creating shuffle even at an idle the air was being read by the AFM 3 times which was sending the idle all over the place. If its not then your excess air is more than likely heading back out your AFMs

we also had an issue with a valve shim that was incorrectly ground to suit cam, seems it was not perfectly flat and after the valves settled in it would be unseated some of the time causing a miss, not sure this is your problem but if you have had head work then worth checking.

i have been concerned about the stock plump back bov's being dodgy... mainly cause i have run out of ideas..

how can i check to see if this is the problem? pull them out and block the pipes?

Is it a missfire or no fire or rough running. This needs to be sorted first.

If it begins to misfire ro run rough disconnect each coil pack individually while engine is still running until you find the cylinder as the rough idle won't get any worse. Next pull the coil pack out with it connected and see if it is sparking. Try not to get yourself. Does it missfire out of the inlet or exhaust side at idle if you turn the cas. Is one spark plug wet or darker than the others?

Have you done another comp test on it since engine rebuild. Do one cold. Then one hot. This will tell if it is a mechanical issue. As mentioned it could be valves or I had a gtr with a cracked ring landthat only ran rough after 5 minutes. Gets worse as it heats up.

With the pfc if you still have it go to the part that shows all the sensor voltages. Not the normal display. You might be able to see if the afm's are playing up as the voltages will have a big split or one will just drop out. One of the other sensors maybe jumping around so look at them all.

Hope you get an answer soon. I hate electrical issues.

i did a compression test and got the same reading across all 6

also fitted a new fuel pump

and hooked up the compressor to the intake and founds some small leaks.... fixed them up, still no different.

still misfires at idle (not a complete cylinder drop) just a slight one...and if i give it a rev and let my foot off... the revs die to about 500rpm and it sounds like its running on 5cyl.. and puffs a cloud of unburnt fuel out the back. then the revs pick up to 1100rpm and missfires as normal.

You said the motor was out. Have you setup the throttle position sensor correctly when it was re installed. Even if it wasn't removed you should check it. There are two things you need to set. Read the manual if you haven't done it. It tells the ecu when the butterflies open on one circuit and also what % the throttle is open on another.

Just another idea

ill read up on that... cheers.

also just found a small leak in the hard plastic pipe that runs from the bov's to the intake.... not sure if this would cause my issue?

How did u get rid of your turbo shufle dude? i got the same problem on my gtr.

Sounds like a blown turbo!!!!! Im affraid to say.

ummmm....

brand new to4z... hasn't even come on boost (cause i can't) as the engine is new.

ok so i worked out how to adjust my injectors down ... i put them down to 65% (700cc) it seems to rev alot better and doesn't try and stall (as much) or blow as much black smoke.

still have the missfire.... but... when i adjust the Injector corection from 1.000 to 1.300 the misfire seems to go away. (the car still trys to stall at times if i rev it and let my foot off).

does this shed any light?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
