Rewind a couple of days/weeks back to when you gapped the plugs. Undo that, put back the standard coils, put your original AFM in, put in the original PTU and wiring and actually diagnose the problem first....then replace parts.

First...locate the missfiring cylinder.

Do a search and you find plenty of info on how to do this.

Once the cylinder is found, there will only be fuel, spark or compression causing it to missfire, do some test to find out which and you're home and hosed.

idles been high since i recevied it back from teh auto leccys who wored in some knock sensors but befoire then it would idle differently everytime you turn it on or off =s

the missfire isnt packs plugs or anything like that if it was that trust me itd be eliminated im sure it must be a vac leak =s

but thanks for the suggestion ill give it a whirl

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
