No......no need for one here. Very little crime here. Only crime is drifting and racing. And I race.

One thing I did forgot to do was, pull the CAS out and spin it to see if my timing is out or it can be a ground somewhere. Sounds weird but, I seen weirder thing on aircraft. The garage I took it to has good rep. for fixing these types of problems, even if he is a mazda guy.

:headspin:

I got my car back yesterday. The guy found a chafed wire going from the ecu to the number one coil pack. He said what if one wire is go, the other 5 coil packs will not fire at all. He fix a few other thing as well too. Before I toke it in, had a ruff idle and now that is gone. The moter is real good now. I have wheel spin up to 3rd gear. I am happy to have my car back. Thank for everyone help. Trev

:P

sorry to drag up an old thread, but Trev, where did he find the chaffed wire? Was it under the dash, or in the engine bay? where exactly?

My car is miss firing and running really rich. I've changed the CAS but that didn't help. I've got a spare igniter module which i hope is the problem. The diagnostic computer the mechanic had said Error 21 Ignition Signal Problem. Perhaps i have a bare wire that is shorting too. I might try a different coil pack loom.

Any tips would be sweet!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
