Hey,

got a 95 Gtst with standard boost and the usuall front mount, exhaust, pod etc:

any way we have a bad missfire, changed plugs, gaps, coils and it still occurs :cheers:

this is what its like.

turn the car on works fine go for drive and so on. then turn car off and go for lunch and so on then come back and turn it back on it has a weird sort of idle it will gurgle and surg intill you give it a bit of throttle then it'll idle fine ? any way off we go then it will start missing some times at 3k and sometimes at 4krpm and it wont go over it, cause it was that bad. sometimes it'll have a little miss at about 4krpm then it'll pull to redline. other times it'll just work fine and not miss at all ??? it does this in all gears and even in neutral, doesnt matter how much throttle you give it even if you ease it on of put it flat it'll still miss bad.

last month we had it missing really bad (on empty tank fuel) we had the bonnet up looking for leaks and reved it up it was missing then all of a sudden a huge bang(back fire)!!!! their was smoke everywere (white) it sounded like a gun shoot. it did that twice intill we went to the survo and put some petrol in it.... it worked fine after that didnt miss intill later on maby about 1 or 2hr's later it started missing again? Got some new NGK double platnim iridium tips in their and pulled plug number 6 out and it had a crack in it, it was black too.... and their only been their 3 weeks ??? the rest were fine.

what could this be ? were are using an avc-r boost controller and it does it even if its off or on....

thanks in advance.

its not the air flow meter because we have tried another one and it still misses....

today its doing its really bad its missing when its ideling and it was running on 5 cylinders but then their was no miss through the rpm ? but then it started mising through rpm and it ram on 6 cylinders again ? weird.... it stalls a lot too when you push the clutch in 3rd or 4th gear and take your foot off the accelerator, the rpm just goes down to zero intill you take your foot off the clutch then it jump starts it self !!!

hope you guys can come up with some answer cause its gettings quiet frustrating..... :D

cheers,

Cameron

errr... sounds like its detonating like a m/**er.. um, do you have any compression in cylinder #6 at all? you might want to check that little thing :D

Cracked spark plug? thats not good at all! I wouldn't be driving it like that at all, sounds like serious problems with cylinder 6 cap'in. May already be too late...

when we took the turbo off all the coolent drained out of the water line and it was fine.. maby a little bit of oil not much though.

we just took the air flow meter wires off and replaced them because they have been dogyed up with wires sticking out everwere.. and it wont start now... but when we unpluged it, it starts ??? but wont rev over a certain point :P

can anyone help ?

Thanks,

Cameron :)

well sounds like you've screwed up the AFM rewiring then. Check again.

Without an AFM it will start fine, just when you go to open loop mode over about 2500rpm it will refuse to rev past that without a correct AFM signal.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
