Anyone seen this in a Yellow Jacket Coil Pack?

Yet another misfire,

R33 Gtst unmolested

intermittent, yet continuous when occurring. Subsides after a minute or so

Drives perfectly 90% of the time

New Plugs, new fuel filter

Did attempt to wrap the packs to no avail.

Cash is tight at the moment, trying to avoid replacing these again.

Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

Thank you

If you can't find any info on yellow jacket coil-packs dying on these forums, I'm sorry to say you obviously haven't searched hard enough

Mate you'd be surprised... The canadian stagea owners swear by YJ's and the shit Autobahn88 sell...

 

You can lead a horse to water...

 

Aaand, i never did get my refund or replacements for my 6 coils melting.

The search function on the forums is pretty awful. I think the guys here have just seen a few threads in their time from browsing, but these don't always show up in search reliably.

First thing's first: suss out which one is playing up. Mine used to do it when idling, so I was able to pull the wiring loom from each one until the idle didn't get even lumpier, then I'd know which one was problematic. Then I tested that coilpacks in a different cylinder to rule out the wiring loom as an issue - the problem followed the coilpack.

Once you've done that, check out the coil spring - it may be too short or not seating properly. Either buy a second hand OEM one to replace it in the meantime or contact Paul from Performance Wise - he was pretty good when I had coilpack issues and sent me one for free when I sent him back the faulty one. I ended up with another issue down the track though and I'd had them for 5 years so I figured it was time to update - went to splitfires and they haven't missed a beat I have to be honest. The YJs were good as a bargain for a few years, but long term not so sure. Time will tell if the splitfires are much better.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
