Ignition Problem

Hey everyone

the problem I have I think is something to do with the ignition. Last night i attended the Vic bush fire cruise in Perth, and i hit rev limiter but didn’t stay on it for long and changed gear, however after that my car is popping really bad and it kind of struggles and looses power at times, this happens between the rev range off 3400rpm-5000rpm and then usualy clears out but then i can’t go past 6000rpm coz it just keeps bouncing off like a rev limiter would, however at these rpm’s the noise it makes is louder than normal and a lot of people said it sounded as if it had antilag( trying to put it in content to describe it better ), as time went by it got worse and worse so i decided to drive it home, while it kept miss firing like that, but just dropped into a higher gear and kept at about 2500rpm and drove it slowly.

Today i took it for a drive and it seemed fine, until the car warmed up and again bang bang bang, in every gear around the same rev ranges, so i took off the air flow meter and cleaned it, also took the coil packs off and cleaned them and inspected them for any crack's or something out of the ordinary. After that i checked my spark plugs and changed them, just to make sure it wasn’t them (gapped at 0.8), i took it for another drive and still the same problem keeps occurring. it’s become a bit worse now as even now on idle it’s miss firing, where before idle and in neutral it didn’t seem to happen.

Does anybody know what else it could be? or what else i could check? Could it be because my ecu i have is stock, and still hasn’t been chipped and retuned for the mods i have?

This issue only started last night, its never happened before and I’ve been running the stock ecu with those mods for about 2 months..

The car is a R32 Gtst with the standard Rb20det

The mods i have on the car at the moment are

- Pod Filter

- VG30 turbo (single turbo version)

- FMIC

- 3 inch exhuast

- Stock ECU

and thats about it for performance wise.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks alot, niran

sounds like coil packs, they must be stuffed tho to do that?? dunno if bouncing it off the limiter could kill them like that?

swap them with a mates and see if that fixes them

hey mate, thats what i was thinking too. maybe i will do that and just borrow some and see if it fixes it.you reckon it could also just be the stock R32 gts-t fuel pump? dying out because off the other mods?

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
