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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
