Hello there,

i got my car, a manual 1996 R33 gts25t, a month or so ago (imported)

my car had been missfiring at above 4500-5000 rpm when i received it out of compliance..

i thought it was due to having the wrong spark plugs (which were 1.1mil gap)

so i changed the spark plugs to .8mil NGK copper plugs, and that did fix the missfiring for about a week or so!...

and then a similar problem had surfaced again, the car at idle (when warm) sometimes has a heavy cough sorta missfire maybe once every 10 seconds or so

and feels a little bit sluggish driving around and then missfires on full throttle acceleration above 5000 towards redline (like the hesitating sorta missfire that having the wrong gap feels like) - my car has exhaust, decat, fmic, stock boost, air pod and bov blanking plate

i was thinking about removing the blanking plate and resetting the ecu.

or changing the spark plugs again...

Maybe i should try cleaning the AFM/TPS/Oxy Sensor or anything else like that?

Any ideas guys on what else it could be ?...

thanks in advance :P

As above, coil packs.

Is it a series 1?

I had the same issue, so i pulled out my coil packs and checked them out. I couldn't see any cracks in them, but i thought that while they are out i may as well give them a hit of silicone just in case.

So i covered all the coil packs with silicone, because even the most miniscule crack can cause drama's. let them cure for 24hrs and put them back in.

Went on the dyno just after and made 250rwhp and didnt miss a beat.

Remember to use high temp as well, i used shellys roof and gutter silicone if i remember correctly.

Here is a link to my thread like this on NS.com, their is pictures and other infomation you might find usefull.

hmmm i just finished diagnosing this problem. wasn't coil packs, spark plugs, dirty AAC valve

my AAC valve was leaking. loss of power and wrx sound. replaced AAC valve with second hand one. problem fixed. this "misfire" issue is so broad in the time iv been on these forums so many random reasons for it. try the top three first.

i too got a second idle air control valve.. :cheers:

i always replace it..wen i clean my throttle-body..which is like every 3-4months..

or wen i notice my car is idling pretty pretty bad..

seem to fix the problem straight away...

but thats only far an idle issue..

for bad misfires around 4000-5500rpms..

wat fixes 33's with rb25det are..

u either got to replace the ecu..with an aftermarket one..lik power fc..etc..

or run a piggy-back..lik a afc..

im running a apexi neo afc..

seems to fix the problem...

its because of R&R's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do a search..its a very very common problem on the rb25det...

some people say u got lean out the fuel about/around 4000rpms onwards..

becoz of the r&r that ecu does...

as for plugs..

get use to changing em..

coz rb25det kill plugs..

they dont burn oil or coolant...

they just kill plugs...lol

oh an another thing...

a aftermarket fuel pump..

it should also fix slight hesitation in the rpms..

so try an get one...

if u havent got one already...

wat mods have u got anyways??????????

hey MBS206..

so if u got spitfire coilpacks..

u reckon u should run a 1.1mm gap...

not re-gap them to .8mm?

is that correct?

I would put the BOV back to normal. Since new gapped plugs fixed the issue for a short time. Taking the BOV out of the loop causes mixtures to go very rich when backing of the gas and hench fouling new plugs very early. I wouldn't bother with splitfire coil packs if yours are working ok. They are not any better than perfect std items!

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
