just a question on dead coils...

I have all the symptoms of a dead coil

misfire on idle, misfire at low rpm, low power, high fuel consumption

but the car also stalls, do dead coil/coils usually cause the car to stall?

Also the problem seems to be gradually getting worse and worse

when it started, it was only a random misfire now and again, now even starting the car is a hassle

dont just go and change your coils if you get a missfire. i had the same thing and went looking for prices for new splitfires. Then i found a thread about cracking housings and arcing problems. I pulled my coilpacks found one TINY crack, slapped some insulating tape on it and its been perfect ever since. If you have a crack thats causing it to arc out and not a problem with the coil itself, resistance testing wont help you.

Yeah, I had my coils out on Saturday & the front 3 had hairline cracks on the front face. The back 3 coils were fine though.

Checked the resistance cold & I think my multimetre must be a little out of whack as they all measured 0.5ohms. But they were cold hence the resistance was a little lower.

New NGK BCPR6ES gapped to 0.75 but still a bit of hesitation at max load at 4500 - 5000rpm. Old plugs indicated decent mixtures but this may not be so all through the rev range.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
