hey all..

finished my CA18DET ke70...

now it has been missfiring and idling like poo!

we have changed AFM, coilpacks, plugs from a perfect running CA18DET and put mine on the other CA and no change..

run injector cleaner.... no change.

cleaned all sensors, checked earths.. no change!

NOW heres the thing.......

it was running SWEET with no said issues in a bluebird no more than the day before it was lifeted out and dropped in the rolla!

NOTHING has been changed or removed...

what can i try to look for???

any ideas would be a great help!

thanks all...

yeh got a lift pump with surge tank.. mor ethan enough..

r we talking coilpack clips? as i have two semi broken tabs.. but they still sit all the way in..

wat other connectors can i check?

this might not be much help but have you checked if all the cooler piping is connected?

only reason i say this is because on my car it had came off where the old air box used to sit and couldnt see that it came off there, and was very barely running.

put it back on and ran perfectly :happy:

yeh have checked it all... gonna do a pressure test to c if there is any leaks.

will chase up another ecu.

fuel is new tank of bp ultimate..

brand new heavy duty battery connections..

but will double check all of these..

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
