actually was doing some test's on the free way last night

if i boot it it will stick @ 4.5 - 5k rpm.

if i ease it into the throttle it will go all the way to 8k without any problems at all..

im thinking fuel pump?

im thinking your coil packs are arching out.

is it a backfire or a boost miss?

backfire is where the engine has two much fuel put into it and it expels it in one burst out your exhaust.

could be caused by:

1. bad fuel

2. shit in the bottom of your tank if you had low amount of petrol

3. running too rich

but im leaning more towards checking your coil packs

I'm having the exact same trouble on my 33 gtst at the same revs, 3inch exhaust is the only mod. Replaced sparks with new standard coppers which seemed to clean it up a bit but soon after the problem was back, most of the time it's worse when the car has warmed up. Been thinking about getting some of those hks iridium plugs that can withstand more heat but at 19 bucks each it would be nice to know before hand if it's gonna help. Maybe check the gaps on your current plugs to make sure they haven't blown out and are in ok condition?

It's sort of a rapid "pop pop pop pop" coming from the exhaust like unburnt fuel is being dropped in to it, engine hesitates badly which causes the whole car to shake around a bit.

yeah, one thing to do would be to get a mate to drive from behind in your case and watch while it happens for smoke out the exhaust.

in your case but nicrwks, yours sound more along the lines of a boost missfire.

couple of things:

1: what rpm is this happening at?

2: what fuel is in your car?

3: how much boost you running?

1. Starts at 4.5-5k rpm right through to redline

2. bp ultimate

3. 7psi (no 2 stage)

Current sparks are NGK BKR6E

Alexxs: do you get the same popping sound around this rpm?

Edited by nicr4wks

yeah my issues start at about 5k rpm, its not a boost leak, ive checked that out..

im going to replace the fuel pump tomorrow, (tried today and fuel tank as full DURRR WHU?!?! im a retard lol)

and doing sparkies tomorrow along with taping up the coil packs i guess.

car hasn't been boosted stock 7psi

its frustrating sigh :teehee:

*edit*

im about 1/3 of my way through a tank of 98 with some injectors clears in it.

always run 98, vpower or bp ultimate.

Sorry for hijacking the thread. I've got back firing issues as well.

Mods:

Yellow Jacket Coil Packs

Plugs gapped to 0.8mm

3inch turbo back exhaust

Pod Filter

FMIC

I'm also still running the standard factory solenoid. Somehow when I'm flooring the throttle, I get up to 10-11psi of boost.

Anwyay, when I'm in 1st or 2nd gear and I back of the throttle at about 5000-6000rpm, I can hear back firing. There's no smoke coming from the exhaust.

Can anyone diagonse this?

if it only happens when u back off the throttle id say ur running rich. really rich or ur fuel pump / injectors need a clean / replace.

hey everyone.. ive got a bit of a smiler problem but 10 times worse to the point that its not drivable :laugh:

about 3 days ago had my car parked outside a mates house.. and it was hell stormy weather.. anywayz i went to start the car it started then stalled.. so then i tried again this time it stayed on. but then as i went to drive off it stalled again. i noticed that every time i pressed the accelerator heaps of black smoke came out the exhaust which i know means its running rich.. but this wasnt just the usual lil bit of black smoke it was to the point where u could smell fuel and yor eyes would burn.. this obviously means that theres heaps of fuel that isnt getting burnt.

anyways i managed to get the car home and i took the coil packs out to look at them and there was water where the spark plugs are (decent amount). i drained it all out.. dryed the coils and put it back together started the car and its still doing the same thing. then i took the spark plugs out them and found that 3 of them were wet from the fuel.

this is obviously an ignition problem any ideas how i can narrow it down to wot part of the ingition system is stuffed? whats the best way to check the coils and the lil modual that sits on top of the plastic cover on at the back end of the engine etc??

help please!!!!!

    • 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.
