Was it the earth strap in the engine bay ?

I think the attessa system has more earths under the back of the car in the boot?

Glad it's sorted mate go hard !!

yeah. The earth that holds the car battery as well as an other earthing wire.

It goes alright lol

Been experiencing voltage drop at idle after driving the car and think it could be the battery

Over the years I have been going through wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooo many batteries

And after some research I am thinking my alternator is one its way out.

So I procured this

IMG_0051_zps39778878.jpg

RH9 Alternator 130amps - hope this fixes the voltage drop issue (fyi it drops from 13.5 to 12.8 or lower at idle)

Came with this sticker - so cool - not that am worthy of putting that sticker on lol

Next issue.

Miss firing whoes.

I had my plugs fouled at the drag day so I thought I would replace them.

I took the coil packs out and they looked like this

they needed some serious TLC

While I was at it thought it would be good to source a new coil pack harness as the other one looked rather brittle and stiff

IMG_0023_zpsef5ebbf7.jpg

also got some brand new NGK platinum spark plugs BCPR7ES and I gapped them to 0.7mm

baf8d6e2-79ef-444c-a3b4-11b28ebcd86d_zps

I cleaned up them coil packs and also go hold of some dielectric compound and applied it to the coil packs where required and also around the spark plugs

IMG_0054_zps157f87f8.jpg

Plugs, coil packs and new coil pack harness all reinstalled

Went for a drive and car felt more responsive but more importantly goodbye missfire, happy Frenchmen I was

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
