Misfire problems

Currently have annoying misfire problems. The engine is RB30neo, after taking car to reputable tuner he replaced cas with secondhand cas , a coilpack, std fuel reg, fuel filter and said the fuel injectors are dirty and fuel filter was blocked.  So he road tuned car and said its better now.

Original issue was it running like a wrx for first 10mins, after that it was a rocket.

So now after it being at the workshop, it still starts like a wrx and now it has a strong misfire at 4k, right at the point it used to start breaking traction.

So i started it up and pulled one coil out at a time, cyl 3 and 5 not firing.  These coilpacks are brand new, have replaced them twice now.

So my question is what can cause cyl 3 and 5 to randomly not fire? Or are these splitfire coils fake copies?

1. get a new tuner 

2. never seen fake splitfires

3.get your multimeter out and start continuity and voltage checking. Also inspect loom for damage.

Yep that workshop gone to shit for sure.. not happy..

This morning i tried again, and cyl 3 and 5 dead, so i put 2 old coilpacks in and she ran sweet except heavy breakdown under load later when was hot.

So whats the chances of 3 brand new coilpacks failing on a cold start?

Loom is brand new from kudos, plugs new also..

What about the cas or ecu, can they play these kind of games?

I dont really have a clue about multimeter testing.

CAS "might" be cooked and the ECU is unable to determine a home signal, i.e. 1x full revolution of the CAS to determine TDC.

This could affect your car starting, however without using any tools it might be hard to diagnose.

 

Maybe try record your PowerFC hand controller with a GoPro or phone and see if there's a RPM when the CAS is rotated OR the car is cranked.

The coilpack harness might be new but i bet the main engine loom is not. I would start looking where is passes the exhaust, where it passes through the firewall and around the ECU header plug.

Youtube how to continuity test with a multimeter, its an excellent skill to have and difficulty level is 2/10.

Sounds like a similar issue i've had...

You running a Z32?!

Yep a z32, today again cyl 5 so i switched it with cyl 6 coil and just like that all 6 firing...

Will start looking into the multimeter idea and the cas test..

Is this plug helping? Last set was a BKR7E that had a split in the electrode

That's a hot plug man, no way would I use that in a higher boost application (or any boost for that matter)

Small update, i changed the plugs back to BKR7E and she has all the power back with no misfire's... 

The issue still remains, that is i start it and its on 5 cylinders until i drive up the road and load it up in second gear , then it seems to clear up and runs perfect.. except for it usual jerkiness on very light throttles which i assume is the camshafts or maybe tailshaft slop..

So what could it be that clears up with some load applied, could injectors be need8ng cleaned after 10k and using ethanol? Diesnt ethanol clean shit???

Tuners explains it as it must be dirty injectors but after he put shit plugs in not sure if hes right...

Coolant is not going down and fuel economy is good, power is good, its just cold start on 5cylinders till loaded up.

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
