have had a slight miss for quite some time, but it has only been evident inconsistently at idle and hot whilst driving.

decided to get off my ass and change the plugs which i had not done so since getting the car and it has done over 15,000kms since then. while i was there i did an oil/oil filter change as well.

so, changed to NGK copper heat range 6 and the problem got worse? what i seem to think is that the plugs have improved spark and this just exentuates the same problem rather than making it worse.

So i then reset the ECU and cleaned the AFM and a little bit better but still noticeably there.

what do you guys think?

i was thinking:

- clogged injector

- stuffed coil

is it worth chucking a bottle of injector cleaner in? or is that stuff bad?

please help!

my car was missing, I took it in for a full service and for 'em to check this problem, they said one of my coil packs was not working properly and the timing was a bit off.

They fixed the timing, and no more missing!

maybe that might be the go for you...

0.8mm

i just checked the timing the other day and set it to 20deg so i doubt that would be hte problem

its very inconsistent. ie sometimes it will happen more and sometimes less. and i can't hear of feel anything when accelerating. that's why i'm thinking injectors.

oh, and at cold start the problem is pretty much non-existant only when the car warms up.

HELP!

Injectors can be cleaned at an EFI specialist, they clean them with a ultra-sonic method. (For more info on servicing injectors http://www.cruzinperformance.com/injsteps.html)

Although injector cleaner (fuel tank use) might show improvement its not as thorough as the ultra sonic method.

I had mine cleaned and tested and it turns out one even after cleaning only did 90mls to the 100mls. I changed the injector and fixed mine from missing at idle and cruisin.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
