now the problem I'm having is once it has warmed up its sluggish an looses power here's a list of wot I have already changed...

fuel pump Bosch 040

-7 spark plugs gapped at 0.7

has no boost leaks wot so ever

brand new Nissan tps

new afm

tried another ecu also

I did have a coil arking on the engine not the plug but I wrapped it in electricall tape and is working fine now an is running on all cylinders

I really just need advice on wot it could be possibly knock sencors? ? I'm lost for idears it runs fine till it hits it's normal running temp an still drives normal but wan I wanna get into it it will hesitate than go but wan it gets to about 5500-6000 it's just shutters an losses power it does it threw all gears but wan driving normal it's not very noticeable I've owned the car for over a year now an this problem has only started happening in the last month at first it was barly noticeable but now it can't be driven hard at all

any help will be appreciated

that is text book coil-pack troubles. From the symptoms of power loss at those revs to also being occurring at normal operating temps.

Also if you've had trouble with the coils before then id say tape is a temporary fix. Yellow jackets don't have the best reputation.

Id also be inclined to check your earthing as if the coils were pretty new then you might not be earthing correctly forcing the spark to do weird things.

Beyond this, potentially AFM (clean the wire as well as check the internal solders for a dry solder). But id put good money on coil pack issue.

hi I ran it for about a week with the spark gapped at 0.8 than a week a 0.7 an there was no noticeable differances between the 2 an spark plugs them self are only two weeks old an are nkgr dont remember all the part number on them but they end in -7...

does any one in Sydney have a cheaper set of rb25 series 1 coils for sale let me no cheers

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
