My Ceffy did similar and i just replaced the spark plugs and gaped them down to .8mm and the problem went away. Try new plugs they only cost about $4.50 each so try that first. If it does it at idle though its a good chance that its a coil pack.

Hahaha.... I was using my phone and it like to use capitals on posts on the net! (knew i would got a capital comment)

Yeah but they r really only new plugs though! Ill check the gapping again (sooo much fun in this weather)

And yeah once it starts missing (so far i noticed either till the engine warms up or 10-15 mins of driving) it does it on idle and on acceleration, doesnt sound it on deceleration

Sounds like its got a lumpy cam or a wrx!

And if its a coil pack normally would one just go or the lot, and the fun part how do u find the faulty coil pack?

Usually one can go on its own. If its missing on idle you just unclip a coil pack 1 at a time. If it makes it worse then you know you have uncliped a good one. If it stays the same you have unpluged the stuffed one. If one is stuffed you might as well replace them all as they will all start to fail from old age.

Cheers guys!

Might do some tests on the coil packs!

The only thing i dont get is, It runs fine when i first start her up run perfectally then all of a sudden it starts missing once engine is at running temp or 10 mins of driving!

I wouldnt be so confused if it did it all the time, constatally missfired... But it doesnt! Any ideas on that as well?

It would be the coilpacks getting hot and shorting out would be my guess.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
