ok so i thought it was auto but after taking it to a shop and then ingeniously putting it in P and still wouldnt rev past 4-4500 we came to the conclusion some thing motor related is wrong, now im going through a process of elimination so far i have done TPS. next will be AFM but im starting to think possibly fuel reg or pump, possibly even exhaust blockage, it has always been hard to start cold, as in it wil fire 1-2 cyl at a time till all 6 fire up over about 10 secs.

the car is a cima with vg30det and front mount with stock exhaust, think cat may be hollowed out

ps when it revs it has no power its not like it cuts out its like i am towing a elephant and then stops at 4ish some times more, when it goes over 4 to like 5-6 it back fires loud

I had the same problem with my R32. Around 4-5k it would start popping and backfiring. It turned out to be my coil packs. I sealed my coil packs up and then the car was fine after that :D Or you could buy some new ones. If that ends up being your problem

yeah i thought it was cooler aswell, i have re done it all and seems to be fine, could be coils i suppose but it doesnt mis fire and it makes boost and holds it, it only pops if i hold it down to push past 4k

put in new .8mm gap plugs and good working coils to no avail. advanced the timing to max and it works better but only runs 5 psi max now. my mate who is a bit of a guru think i might have slipped some teeth on the timing belt on some of the cams. it now hunts on idle and has a idle miss, im thinking thats just the .8mm plugs. going to pull the timing covers off and see if it all lines bak up. any other ideas?

Pretty strange that it will make "full" boost in neutral.. my guess is like your guru mate, it may have slipped a few teeth and the resultant retardation is aiding it in building boost (like launch control..)

well timing belt looks like it had a bolt fall in some how :down: it was thrahed im suprised it hasnt broken, i had a spare belt and chucked that on,. but the old belt was still doing its job, all timing marks lined up, im thinking maybe it has something to do with vct? could that be retarding the timing or something? car is pretty old and most wires are brittle. im going to check fuel filter and put a guage on to check pressure, car just seems really od,

thanks ryan

yeah so there was a bolt sitting in in the crank case cover wearing the belt, but that wasnt the problem, so i replaced the belt anyway cos it was dodgy, and i found a big as vac leak from line which had popped off, that fixed the idle problem, and i cleaned the aiflow meter witch some metho. but it strated working better before that, so i actually dont know what fixked it, i think it could have bee that other belt was really streched but yeah, auto is shifting really fast into third, like 123 at 30kmh but i have been told thats just a tps adjustment. but im not entially sure it is fixed i guess time will tell. also what i done was put a one way valve in the fuel reg vac line so it will only see vac no boost as my car blows alot of black smoke on boost (before any of the previous problems) this is a remedy i read in a HPI magazine saying its a common over fueling problem and that will help. can any one confirm or any one disagree?

thanks heaps everyone for your input :3some:

ok i had a similar problem, i cant exactly remember how i fixed it but it was around the time i was installing my boost guage, now i think it was running lean, and it popped and carried on with no power output, you should check the mixture?

yeah yeah whitey haha i have already spoken to sean, if i have any more dramas its getting a v500 and manual valve body but untill then i would like to enjoy the car for a while without pyromania thoughts, which reminds me i should get fire and theft on it..

also what i done was put a one way valve in the fuel reg vac line so it will only see vac no boost as my car blows alot of black smoke on boost (before any of the previous problems) this is a remedy i read in a HPI magazine saying its a common over fueling problem and that will help. can any one confirm or any one disagree?

thanks heaps everyone for your input :down:

That's fkn dodgy as.. I'd get it on a dyno ASAP as it's mostly likely running dangerously lean at high boost/rpm.

would i not hear it ping? yeah i might rip it out, it does say to have it checked on a dyno. well car is 100% again. from my conclusion it was cam timing from stretched belt, mixed with bad spark from coils and plugs, also my funny shifting patterns were due to a faulty TPS put the original one back on and all good, thanks everyone :P

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
