First problem I've had with my Stag since I bought it 18 months ago...

at idle in P or whether in gear with brake on, it mis-fires intermitantly and smells strongly of fuel.. havent noticed any issues while driving

i filled up fuel on tuesday and reset the trip meter, i've done 200k's and used half a tank already..

thinking afm/oxygen sensor/coil packs? anyone had any similar problems and might be able to point me in the right direction? its just a dead stock standard rb25 neo.

thanks.

id b susing plugs, and coilpacks for any short out/grounding around the edge of the cup that sits on the top of the plug.. it will be white dots... if so i believe you can put electrical tape inside to stop this. how olds the O2 sensor? and might aswell clean the afm while ur there... c how this goes... wat gap on ur plugs u using?

lol, 200kms half tank, havent done that in a while ;)

hahaha exactly what i was thinking lol, i'm happy if i see 200km to half a tank.

Silhouette31, firstly start with a fresh set of spark plugs. then a quick and easy one to do is clean the AFM with some contact cleaner(carb cleaner). if its still not right then probably one of the easy ones to fault find on is O2 sensor, if your handy with a multimeter just probe the signal output, or if you have a consult cable or know anyone that does just use that. look for a "lazy" cycle on the sensor, it should quickly bounce back and forwards from 0-1v. if its lagging or just stuck, it will cause incorrect fuel correction on the fuel maps making it run either lean or rich.

^^^^^ how do u find this with consult? i just changed mine and wouldnt mind checking if its all legit... im still popping a flame with full boost gear changed so im clearly not leaning off at that end :blush:

what consult program are you using? Ecutalk is a good one, just connect up to the ecu, tick the O2 Sensor box from the available sensors/readings, and the choose display gauges. you will see an O2 sensor voltage gauge ;)

its got brand new platinum plugs 4000k's ago when i did a major service.. gaps are standard as everything on the motor is 100% standard including airbox etc.

i used to get 250-300km's to half a tank easy. its not running rough all the time, only slightly missing at idle and when it does it has a rich fuel smell

sorry to be annoying but how do i test the o2 sensor? i have a multimeter and all, what pins do i connect to and what readings should i get? resistance or volts?

might try the afm clean though, ive never touched it.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
