Please Help Me With Missfire Prob It Only Happens When Under Load I Cant Work It Out Checked Everything


Recommended Posts

hey guys this is really frustrating has anyone had this prob before , when it sits still it revs out but when under load on the road it just breaks down , i have put brand new coil packs in , changed the plugs for the 2nd time in one week that didnt fix it i got em gapped at .7 i checked all the loom wirng voltages earths cant track it down like i said when it sits still it revs out but when on road it just breaks down

im desparate for help if anyone could please help me out would be much appriciated .

dan.

afm mate. mine was doing the same thing, somtimes it would have no throtle at all and just stop. i would wind the engine over and it would fire but wouldnt run.

other times it wouldnt rev over 2 2.5 grand. it would just bounce there violently my tuner and i pulled it apart and fixed it . or u could just replace.

but that is were ide be starting.

there is an earth on the fire wall for the coils check that. check them all. iwould seriosly try afm first but. unplug it and plug it back in thats what i did to mine and it would work for a while anyway. if it runs the same with it disconected thats probably the prob. they wont rev past 2.5 rpm disconected

If the AFM is the problem (which is what i suspect to be the problem with my car too) does the car run super lean when it loses it's throttle while still revving and also when it missfires?

I've got a forged built bottom end and don't want to do any damage to it.

Thanks

    • Both Coils and Loom are OEM from the dealer.  I have not tried the Chinesium AFM. I Might today. Will get a timing gun to check this, to be honest I been meaning to check the timing because everything timing related is as the car came from Japan, being set by whatever shop did the timing 1.5k miles ago. I believe it is running rich all the time actually, as the pops and bangs feels like unburnt mixture in the exhaust. But I will check the pump and regulator. PS also new OEM fuel filter is in during the maintenance before these slew of misfires started. Cas been placed on the same position as it was before removed, same markings that were left by the shop that did the timing before I bought and imported the car. Thank you all for the responses so far by the way. Seems like I need to pay more attention to CAS condition and timing. Will check on that and report back here.
    • Buyer beware. Assume everyone is dodgy on the internet unless proven otherwise.
    • Try unplugging the smaller plug from the controller under the parcel shelf. right side when standing at the boot (HICAS controller). It's sort of saved me from the car killing me (HICAS spazzing out),
    • Been looking at the MK60 too but looking at a few options for my shitbox
    • My first thought after reading first post was, did you set the ignition timing properly, especially after removing the CAS.
