if what you have done hasnt solved the missfire, take it for a drive, do a few ks and then pull the plugs out one by one and check them

if they are being fired properly they should be blackened

if you find one that looks like its brand new or not as used looking as the others, then chances are the coil pack for that cylinder has flogged out

you will need to replace that one

thats what solved my misfire problem

changing the fuel filter is a good thing to do.

did you have any success with project diagnose missfire?

Haven't taken it for a drive yet, so I'm not sure.

Got all the hose clamps off the fuel filter and then couldn't get the hoses off, so had to turn back.....got any tips?

all the plugs I pulled out looked about the same colour.....greyish....so it looks like the mixture is OK

Couldn't see any obvious cracks or anything in any of the coils, but that prolly doesn't mean much.

I'll take it for a drive later and see how it goes....if it's still missing I might wind the boost down a bit, coz since I fitted the dump and FMIC it seems to max at about .8 or .85 BAR

thats how i got them loose, usually over the years they have melted a bit and end up stuck on

yeah...I think that's what's happened to mine....makes you wonder how long it's been since the fuel filter was changed :(

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
