Hi all, l didn’t want to put anything on the forum, however l am unable to work this out and am extremely frustrated, hopefully someone can give me some good direction.

the car blew a cooler hose, since then it has developed a miss at approx 5,000 rpm upwards.

the strange thing is that it now fowls only plug number 6.

all others are fine.

changed coil packs around and same issue.

new coil loom, same. Car runs, idles and drives fine, as long as you don’t go past 5.000 rpm.

running apexi fc. Has had tune. Developed this after the tune. However was running amazing until the hose blew off. 
Boost is a conservative 15.

if anyone can give me some direction it would be greatly appreciated.

regards.

Sounds like it had a boost leak ( the cooler hose about to pop off) and was tuned to suit that. Now boost leaknis gone tune is wrong.

 

Did you pressure test the cooler pipes before the tune?

 

Yes, plugs changed, several sets now.

has had new cooler piping both sides.

turbo  side to air filter done pre tune. Intake done only a week ago. Still same problem.

 

Car ran perfect after tube, 232rwkw. @ 15psi.

drove it 250kms after tune, no issue. Gave it a few short drives and it, again, was perfect.

blew the intake pipe to plenum off. 

once this happened it ran like shit.

changed plugs as they were all Fouled. 
since then it has had the issue.

Appreciate everyone’s input.

 


 

I have seen a car foul plugs mysteriously more than others, and it turned out to be the diaphragm in the FPR that had failed, sending fuel into the plenum into two cylinders specifically.

Something mechanical has let go in the cylinder that is fouling. It would be very suprising to somehow make a tune that only fouls 1 cylinder unless you are playing with cylinder trims, which I don't think is very common on a powerFC.

You need more data available to you. Is the problem spark related? Fuel related? You may need a dyno to figure this out.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
