Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

[Ants]

Made some weird noise waiting at the lights like something bad broke then proceeded to drive with a horrible miss

Checked over it at the local servo couldn't find anything and car would start and run but has a bad miss.. at first thought it was the turbo shat itself out the exhaust but still makes boost...

im thinking ignition problem

But if u heard something break........that's not good.

Fouled spark plug

Check over all the connection people forget that they're all 20 years old and brittle so they easily break. Doesn't explain a Lou noise though

[R33 Eddy]

Yeah hopefully it's just the copper plugs I been running for far to long and not something else.

Nick has a valid point here - could also just be hose that blew off......

Wind boost up and 7k launch?

[Captain Natro]

Do turbo 25s run the stupid little hose of the airbox for the iac? If that's cracked it can make the car run like a rabbit f**king a basketball

[Ants]

Wind boost up and 7k launch?

Yeah fully.

No. Inspect the plugs.

[HiveFleetAbyss]

Possible coil pack issue? Bur then again the noise mine misfired like a boss donw the highway this morning st about 5/6k revs in 2nd.

[MagicMikeZ32]

Can you be any more specific on the noise?

Were you boosting when the noise first happened?

If yes, I suspect a boost hose has broked

[R33 Eddy]

Sitting idle at the lights is when it started revs where under 1000rpm

Get missfire under 3k when causing at 100km/h it seems all fine

When I get home I'll pull the plugs

Btw I am running splitfire coil packs only about 4 years old.

[MagicMikeZ32]

What kind of noise did it make? Crack, bang, mechanical metal on metal or something else? Whirr?

[Smity42]

Crack, bang? Whirr?

I love it when you get technical

[MagicMikeZ32]

Have to get technical on this stuff.

Any description is better than a something is broken noise. Can't be that bad of a noise, otherwise (I) would not be driving anywhere after hearing it.

BTW, 3 zeds in shed. 2 engines out.

Bang but metal on metal noise but like a rock bouncing under the car.. first though was it's someone else's car but I did feel it in my feet..

When I took off it blew 1 puff of white smoke... not sure if it was my car or another car as it didn't do it again for the rest of the trip to work.. only thing is the big missfire

First thing I'll do is check the plugs

[R33 Eddy]

I pulled in to the servo up the road and checked everything I could and all looked and sounded normal... The noise before hand could be irelavant but seemed to happen at the same time it decided to run like shit

I'm inclined to think that its not irrelevant and that they are somehow associated with one another Ed.

Whenever a bang happens and then the car runs like crap - I think its rather important to find out the reasons for the cause so you can rectify it, otherwise you may think that all is well and continue driving the car until the inevitable happens.

Get to it before it gets to you.
