Help - R34 Rb25De - Still Misfiring After Coil Pack Change

Recommended Posts

Had a misfiring problem - took it to local mechanic who replaced one coil pack and the car was running well for 1 day then misfire returned. I used one of the diy tutorials to replace all coil packs. car ran fine for approx 40kms then started misfiring again - nowhere near as bad as they were misfiring before I changed all the coil packs but misfiring nonetheless.What could be causing this?

Spark plugs had been changed 7 months ago.

also noticed that the two coil packs had different numbers on - 4 of them are numbered 543, 1 is 791 and another 8X5. they all have HANSHIN MCP1440 on the back of em except the one numbered 791 has MCP1340. Does this mean anything?

All coil packs in there now are brand new ones FUJI ULTRA SPARK - sold by www.OSAKA.co.nz.

As you've probably gathered, I am a newbie. Help please!

First time I've heard of these coilpacks, and I've heard of them all (JJR, super spark, yellow jackets, OEM, splitfire, okada project plasma etc).

Which brand and what model spark plugs were used (NGK copper, NGK iridium etc) and the exact model number of them (gap and heat range too). If they are copper spark plugs then they are in all likelyhood due to be changed depending how far have you travelled in those 7 months?

Change the spark plug gap to 0.8mm and see if that helps and take a picture of them all while they're out, so we can see what kinda shape they're in. If it doesn't solve the misfire, then put new plugs in. If that still doesn't solve it then unplug individual coilpacks to work out which cylinder is the one misfiring and put a known working one in it's place, if the misfire is gone then replace that faulty coilpack (should be under warranty)

The plugs are all NGK Iridiums

I pulled all plugs off and they all seem in very good nick. The first one had relatively more soot buildup then the other five and was also a bit wet. there was a bit of liquid around the spark plug in the well. The coil on this first plug seems faulty - the collar actually moves back and forth a bit and there is a small white streak on the black silicone(?). this is one of the new Fuji coils I put in Thursday.

I replaced the faulty coil pack with one from the old set and it seems to have worked - No more misfires. Hopefully the misfiring is gone for good this time.

Fuji Ultra Coil Packs are made in Japan apparently. they have a red jacket on them. Yeah, $345 is pretty cheap for coil packs....

Thanks for your help guys. much appreciated.

    • Time for millspec wiring, MoTec electronics package, Bosch Motorsport ABS, let's goooooooo!!!   Maybe as @MBS206 suggested, just swap out those stupid blue relays near the ECU plug.  
    • My only regret with the NC MX5 was no space for a spare, even a space saver doesn't fit in I do have a couple of those puncture repair spray cans, but if I get a large puncture, or sidewall damage, I'm screwed until a tilt tray turns up I'm thinking I might get one of those 4WD style of puncture repair kits that have that rope stuff and glue, whilst it will kill any hope of saving a tyre, it might help getting me out from some backwoods road far enough to find a actual tyre shop if the first can of tyre fix doesn't work I'm keen to see how your new toy pans out Uncle Duncan, I'll be moving to the Highlands next year, you'll need to shout out if your heading to Wakefield, whilst I've lost my balls for happy laps, I still love watching those that can
    • Yeah not sure what the warranty was, but it will be years outside it.  I've shot Link a message, will see what happens, I'm told their support is good. It is a plug in, so its a Link board in a factory case, very easy to access both sides of the circuit board by removing the top or bottom cover. To be fair the the Link, although I've checked to the factory connections and wiring specs, as we learned with Neil's car in the early days not all ECUs source power the same way. He'd been running a factory ECU with no trouble for years, but when we plugged a PowerFC in it wouldn't start up, just kept cycling power on and off. We worked out that the car was missing one of the 10a fuses "Electronic Parts", and to Neil's knowledge it had never been there. Turns out the ECU pulled its main power from that source not the same place the factory ECU did.  Point being....there are multiple battery and ECCS power sources in the factory ECU, and multiple grounds as well....not telling from the outside exactly what the Link uses (and doesn't use)
    • Now, thanks to sonicii, onto the uneven floor from a tyre sticking 100mm into the boot space. I looked into options to raise the floor to the level of the tyre, and ended up going Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). EPS is what I normally think of as polystyrene, the annoying tiny balls that get glued into a flat sheet but XPS is quite different, much firmer and doesn't crumble if you touch it with anything. I also looked at things like heavy duty seating foam but XPS seemed like the right way. I picked up 3x 1200x600x50 sheets for $40ea. Initially I was looking for 100mm sheets because I needed to make up a 100mm gap, but as it turned out 50mm was available, much easier to work with and made it simple to store the tools I used a simple 15cm foam cutter to make the shapes. With some practice I was able to make reasonably clean cuts but I don't think Clark Rubber are going to be calling me to offer a job. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/405092315205?var=675175481574 First layer in place, 3 dimensions are tricky! Second layer in place, bringing it to level with the top of the spare Cutouts in the top layer for the tools With floor back in place, nice and flat with 100mm stolen but no real impact on usability
    • Sounds like a good idea to me moh
