Hey guys, ive read a few posts about misfiring but mine seems to be different.

So basically, my car misfires on start up, really bad idle. the misfire is through the whole rev range boost or not. sometimes it goes away randomly then runs smooth for abit and comes back.

ive got splitfire coilpacks that the previous owner changed, recently changed oil to castrol edge titanium 5w-40, k&n oil filter, z201 fuel filter

i took it to nismo performance and got a diagnostics, they said there wasnt any electrical problems and said it was mechanical.

i changed the irridium spark plugs because there were old it ran okay for a few days then it came back and it has seem to have gotten worse. so i changed then back to irridium because they seemed to run a bit better.

thanks in advance, josh.

please help ive been trying for about 2-3 weeks now and i got no choice but to drive my car cos need to work to save money to fix it lol

mods

k&n air filter, catback

perhaps another thing would be to check the crank angle sensor (CAS) also might revise the gap of the spark plugs as splifires behave a bit differently to OEM and need to be gapped accordingly

few threads when i had a similar problem

More info about Colipacks in general

if you manage to solve the problem just let us know what it was for those who have the same prob next time

Thnx for your response and yes i will let others know when i fix it.

how do i check the CAS like what do i need to look for, for example like faulty wires? phyisicall dmg or do i need to use a scanner or something to diagnose it?

im thinking of regapping them down to .8 some ngk copper ones.

i fixed the problem, today i regapped the spark plugs to .8 some ngk copper ones. put them in. the car was still misfiring. then on the way home we swapped one of the coilpacks with the oem one and it went away. then we swapped back the split fire and it was still okay. it turns out it wasnt the spark plugs or coilpacks but it was the clip that connects to coilpack number 2 isnt connecting properly have to wiggle it and push it in a certain way for it to contact im thinking of getting some paste for more contact any suggestions?

exactly same thing happened with me, bought new coilpacks, one went bust a day after installation

might be best to just grab a new coilpack loom/harness as the one from the factory has most probably expired its usefulness, could be bound to cause u grief even though you fixed this problem as other components are probably on their way out

can grab a nissan oem one from here

also cheers for keeping us updated, there will be many after you with this prob as these cars get older so this will be a good reference thread

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
