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 :/

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

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

only one way to find mate - x fingers its only minor repair

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.

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.

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

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

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.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
