hey all, lately been having 2 problems with my car, most annoying one is missfiring randomly, just random times it will missfire cruising or standstill, but to remove of the misfiring i just slam the foot to the floor and build up boost and it will go away..... any ideas??? just changed to new sparkies, and had the splitfires in for about 5000km.

this really really pisses me off. car sounds all nice and roaring and then all of a sudden its a god damn tractor!

2nd problem is, if i come around a corner or i do burnouts the car will smoke up to a certain point and them it just cuts out, never used to do that. i hit about 4krpm and then even with foot to the floor the engine will just cut off, completely and just go into idle mode. never die, or stall, but just stay at the 700-1500rpm even with foot to the floor.

i dont have a traction control in the car, and even on full tank it will do this, i first thought it was a fuel related problem not getting petrol when swinging into corners.

any help would be appreciated.

splitfires were brand new, missfiring fixed, one joint on the plug loom was loose so didnt get a proper connection, fixed that and now seems fine *fingers crossed*, other problem still exists.

saving up for a Power FC after i get my FMIC and front plenum sorted out.

that top plenum is the biggest btch

problem will not be r&r, so ignore all posts about that. if it is only when cornering it is going to be an electrical issue where something is losing contact while cornering. i would hazzard a guess and say the afm. try checking the fault codes.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
