I washed my engine bay down on Tuesday earlier this week.. Car is running like its dropped cylinders.

I have put the ignitor and coilpack looms on a GTR and it ran perfectly fine so I know they are ok.

I have replaced the airflow meter also

I just got a set of secondhand coilpacks and before installation diagnosed cyl 1 and cyl 6 have wet plugs.. so I replaced number 1 & 6 coilpack.

plugs are still wet and runs the same..

swapped number 1 plug into pot 2 and vis-versa to check that plugs were not faulty... number 1 is still wet and so is pot 6

where do I go from here... CAS? ECU? there is alot of fuel smoke coming out the exhaust also, guess thats because the oxy sensor thinks its running lean?

injector would not do it.

have you checked all intercooler and intake plumbing is not leaking and all done tight.

check you afm plug, makesure the afm is nice and tight in the intake and sealing up.

other wise might still be some water in the look some were.

good luck with it all

Decided to run the car up again and rap the throttle a couple of times and very swiftly pulled all the plugs again.

1 - Dry & Black

2 - Wet & Black

3 - Dry & Black

4 - Dry & Black

5 - Dry & Black

6 - Saturated and Black

So I put the plugs from 2 & 6 next to eachother in 4 & 5 and ran the car up... only 4 & 5 are wet.. so its either plugs or coils.

- replaced the coils in 4 & 5.... the plugs are still wet.

- pulled the plugs out of my miss's daewoo and replaced 4 & 5 only, started it up and ran smooth then started getting rough and smokey again (plugs were rather different tho, but they still pulled out wet)

- put my plugs back in but swapped 1x wet plug to cyl 2.

- cyl 5 was dry but cyl 2 was slightly wet.. but the car ran smoother and I think smoked less. (I asume this is because because the faulty cyl's were spread out now making the motor turn over smoother)

replace all the plugs you think?

well I am getting somewhere now.. replaced all the plugs and doesnt miss... went to rev it up and it bounced of 2800rpm... At this time remembered my AFM was unpugged...

plugged in the afm i got from KYP.. it started running rich as a bitch and rather rough and would not rev above 3k, it didnt bounce it just refused to rev harder..

so better take the AFM back then.

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
