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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
