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..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
