I'm trying to sort out an ongoing misfire problem. It is intermittent, I haven't been able to work out any real pattern to it. I have so far replaced sparkplugs, coilpacks and the coilpack loom with no luck. The only extra clue I've got is that one of my sparkplus was a bit white. Looks like that cylinder might be running a bit lean. I'm thinking maybe that fuel injector is clogged. Does this sound right? Car is R32 GTR.

Does it missfire under load, light thorttle or idle?

Think I must have reset the fault codes before I checked it last time because I just took it for a drive until it started missing again and then pulled over and checked the fault codes again. Got a 21, ignition circuit. So with that in mind and the fact that I've replaced coilpacks and loom what's next to look at?

I pulled the ignition amp out today and tested it with my dvom. I'm not really sure what it is supposed to read normally, but testing the resistance across the amp showed some unexpected results.

Bear with me as I try to explain it.

When I connect wires 1-6 on one side with any of the wires 1-6 on the other, there is a circuit. There is quite a bit of resistance but it still makes a circuit. When connected with the earth, there is almost no resistance. The exception is wire 4. When wire 4 is connected to any other, the resistance is twice the reading on the other wires and when wire 4 connected to the earth wire, the resistance is off the chart.

So obviously the connection to wire 4 is stuffed. But should all the wires have a circuit with all others? Doesn't seem right either.

    • 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.
