Iv just bought a r32 rb20det and it has a few problems. its sounds like its missing off 1 cylinder and not running right.

When i put my foot down on the pedal it drives for and then all of a sudden it jumps foward and looses power then comes back on.

Also when i slow down sometimes it drops down to 200-300rpm and then jump back up and some times it stalls. Its running a rough idle of inbettween 1000-1300.Also is blowing black smoke when coming on boost. my boss thinks maybe one of the injector could be blocked?

So far what iv done is replaced 1 coil and the coil loom. and replaced afm. And removed spark plugs and wirebrushed the ends as the were all very black i drove it for a day and removed plugs again and found that they were just as black again? i also removed the fuel filter and its pretty much brand new.

another thing is the bov is venting to atmosphere could that a probelm?

the other things im thinking about checking and cleaning acc valve, checking for vacum leaks around the pvc valve? and around the intake. maybe replace the the cas and tps? would i be able to use these off an rb20de? is there anything else you guys think could be the problem?

Also the car hadnt been driven for a while iv put more fuel but could there still be stale fuel or something like the causing a problem?

found its got nothing 2 do with the bov ,maybe thinking leaking injectors and the plugs are fouling like its running rich? also found after coming boost and going hard from 1st 2nd and almost 2 3rd after that it starts to die like shudders like theres not enough fuel getting to it? so it could be fuel pump?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
