No this isnt another normal missfire thread.

My stagea sometimes when on light throttle or cruising will miss or cut out breifly, just for the tiniest amount of time, it will only do it once then go back completely normal, dosnt chug or splutter just a complete loss. It never does it under full throttle or boost, only light throttle and cruise.

I have checked my AFM's, cleaned them and all the plugs etc, checked for dry joints lose wire's.

I have removed my coil packs and cleaned them and all surfaces around them

I have checked plugs.

I cannot check for fault codes as im running a PFC and i dont have a hand controller.

Its not causing me any grief yet i wud just like to know what it is so i can try and fix it.

It seems electricall to me, maybe inginitor?

generally if it is only light load it won't be anything to do with ignition (however there are exceptions) as they normally more happen under load when there is mroe stress on the system.

i would be looking at things like IAC or AAC. if these get a little bit sticky they can be slow in opening and every now and then stick a little bit and cause a bit of a miss/flat spot. could also be your o2 sensor playing up and make the car go from running lean to rich and back to lean again which will make it feel as though it has lost power for a second.

Thanks for the reply.

The AAC valve is blanked off as it was causing it to idle around 1600rpm, i cleaned it all out twice made no diff so decided to block it off, was doing the miss before i did it.

I did check the O2 sensors when i borrowed a mates data logit, both were working at the time. I might ty and borrow it again and get some miles in with it.

Its not so much a feeling of loss of power, more like somebody switched the engine off for a split seond.

power FC bug. no doubt about it. you have described it exactly. some people have had success with adding grounding wires in particular add additional/better grounding point to the ignitor. search power FC missfire and I'm sure you'll find it. and yes it happens even with 8.04a version PFC.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
