hey guys well as the title says car is still misfiring i took it to a mechanic and he said its more than likely the coilpacks well i changed them but the car is doin the exact same thing some mentioned to me it could be my afm they said it may have a crack or something in it? i dunno maybe needs new plugs? any ideas would be much appreciated?

How old are the plugs? Copper or iridium? Did you make sure all the clips were plugged in properly on the coil packs and that none of the pins inside the packs/clips were bent.

What mods do you have?

standard coil packs on a r33 misfiring is very very common, infact, nearly every rb25 and neo i know has had a coil pack problem.It tends to get

worse as the coils get hotter. I had this problem and i bought splitfire

coil packs and the problem went away. So if you replaced your coil packs with standard coil packs again, dont be supprised

to run into the same problem. Solution, try splitfires or yellowjackets..

also make sure u replace your sparkplugs with the right gap.

I hope this helps.

i would look at the plugs as you have to change them sooner or later anyways. then there is a tut on how to clean the AFM also which will be handy!

Then as a last resort i would look at the loom.

Not sure if you changed all the coils, but there is also a tut on how to seal your coils. Its a temp fix but at least you will no what i wrong with your beast

yeh i changed all the coilpacks mods aint much just fmic dual stage boost controll high boost being 11psi low is 7 psi soo nothing really else i really have no idea what it could be it only does it when i give the car a bootfull its not all the time?

This one I don't understand myself he got those coils from me, on my car with 0.8 plugs they are sweet, there's absolutely no cracks in the packs and I have basically similar mods.

PFC

cooler

full exhaust + am cat

panel filter

boost at 11psi

when you reinstalled the bov check to see if it's tightened properly When I did mine I didn't tighten it enough and could hear a leak, tightened it up and sweet again

does it idle ok? i had a bad misfire/idle issue a while ago.. turned out to be a split vac hose. i would check there first before shelling out $$$ for coilpacks

Hey guys, dont wanna start a new thread so thought i'd post here,no offence to the OP.

Anyways, my car was running alright yesterday, but its always had a slight miss at idle, one of my mechanic friends thought one of my spark plugs might hav been loose. Anyways, i have a spare set of ngk iridiums and thought i might as well change them all if i was gonna look at the loose one. Found number 5 was a bit loose so i replaced them all.

Now, i got a friend with an r33 as well, but he's got one of those blitz BOV's that come on the intake pipe, and he's been getting a boost leak for a while, so we thought we could try my pipe on for a bit to see if it actually was the problem, we took that off while i replaced the plugs on my car. ok,so found out his bov was the problem, put the pipe back on my car, checked everythin was on tight and good, and ran it... it ran absolutely sh*t, idle's lumpy and would miss under acceleration. i thought it was the plugs since they are not gapped. it got dark, so i waited till this morning to put my old plugs(that are gapped to 0.8) back in. did that, reset the ecu and went again,,went a bit better, but still had a bad miss.

after work i came back, checked everything i thought would cause a miss,,cleaned the afm, checked for boost leaks, took the intake pipe off and refitted it.. still idles crap.

I have brand new coil packs in my car (yellow jackets) only 2 weeks old, and they ran great. i took the plugs out again, make sure they were clean and all around the chamber was too, put the plugs back in and checked the coil springs were fine and all.

now i've run out of ideas. HEKTIK, which hose did you find to be split?'

sorry for the long post,,im jus out of ideas,,

any help greaty appreciated.

cheers

Ben

anyone...? The car seems to idle fine,,if it hunts, its only minimal. I drove it last night and it runs alright, gets onto full boost, but feels down on power.

I took the plugs out again today, cleaned them and around where they go in. I checked the IC hoses and clamps and they look ok,,

it only really seems to run crap at idle,dunno wats goin on

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
