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.

Hmmm... And i never thought of that! (my excuse... Iv got heat stroke LOL)

If thats the case how could i resove it if its goin to heat up no matter what???

Silicone sounds good right about now... Only coz i cant be fu(ked!

Well hopefully i got more $$$ my way soon... Will be handy!

Thinking of silicone as i will be doin a 30/25det conversion.... hopefully soon!

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
