i've got an odd miss fire...

i've got a HR31 with an rb25, rb25 loom, powerfc and z32 afm.

over the past few days the missing has gotten worse, it happens more often in low rpm/cruising speeds (~2-3000rpm in third/fourth) but then if i drop back a gear or too and accelerate, 99% of the time its fine (might have the odd miss here or there) but it sounds like its running on 5 cylinders.

i've tried new plugs gapped to 0.8mm, still missed, so i took them out, cleaned them and gapped them to 0.6mm, still exactly the same.

after that i took out the AFM, it looked a little bit oily so i sprayed it with some wax and grease remover.

i also wrapped the coils with electrical tape, and put on a new air filter.

it seemed to get a little bit better after that, but is still there.

should i clean the AFM with something else?

i have a set of RB26 coils here i'm going to try, but being a low rpm miss i'm not too confident.

had the injectors cleaned, flow tested and new o-rings, didn't fix it.

it only happens once the car gets warm, and it's more often now, and across most of the rev range.

if we unplug coil pack on cylinder 1, and 4 the idle doesnt seem to change, i've rotated coil packs around and it still does it..

any more idea's?

Do a compression test on all 6 cylinders and give us the results then we can help you alot more.

try swapping it with another ecu, 2 minute job,

my car was running on 4 cylinders, 1+3 were not firing, it wasn't the coil packs or injectors

i swapped it with another ecu and fixed my problems,

worth a try

had a compression test done last week, came up fine.

160, 160, 160, 155, 155, 165

stock ecu won't work too well, i've got a Z32 AFM and 740cc injectors

might try checking the earths...

tried new splitfires + loom + ignitor today, no difference.

unplugged coil packs, and its now cylinder 3 that is missing, so i swapped injector 1 and 3, and 1 misses..

so it seems like a dud injector..

i'm not sure how they go about cleaning/flow testing them.. but i think my injector is forked at low voltage, but seems to work fine at higher voltage (i'm guessing they just give them full voltage to check flow)

getting a set of stock injectors soonish to test.... anyone want to sell me ONE nismo 740cc side feed injector for a 25? :thumbsup:

Silicone up the bottom of the coils. the tape may not be doing the job.

the bottom of the coils? when i took mine out the other day the previous owner had taped up the top of the coil packs, then i taped up the other 3 that weren't taped and it doesn't miss a beat at high rpm now whereas it did before.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
