Hey all,

well ive just had a 100,000km service done (change timing belt, radiator flush, full service and tune) i dont think this problem has been occuring long (certainly not before i got it done) but today i noticed that in first, after being in a stationary position, taking off sometimes it will semi pop or something.

By this i mean that usually when the foot comes off accel and u let it coast i can often get your standard sort of gurgle/popping.

Well in first when i take off sometimes, and have my foot on the accel, it will actually pop once or a couple of times, maybe its a misfire ?? I lose a lil power for an instant when it does it but yeah.

Dont think its clutch cus

1. just had it replaced

2. it doesnt feel like its slipping, and dont get any extra revs or anything that i can see/hear

Any help as to pointing out what this is ?

My car pops and gurgles on most gear changes if i leave a gap in the change. ie if I change gear slowly

Not too sure if its just that your experiencing. If it is, im no mechanic but its probably nothing.

Possibly gap in your spark plugs are too big? I had that problem and car was running like shit on boost (but you shouldnt be having that problem :P )

I would think if it is occurring under acceleration then might be a coil pack on the way out. If they are goin to phuck up then it will be just after they have been move (plug change). Spray some CRC or simular on the areas around your coil packs that will stop them arcing on the head and that should stop the misfire.

or... take it back to where you got the service/work done and let them fix it. Thats if it was working fine before you went in. They probably would be able to tell you what it is straight away.. after all it is what they do for a living

Brett,

Timing belt off by one tooth - ouch - don't say that! I can hear poor daniels wallet opening WAY too wide :rofl:

I've never heard an N/A misfire like that before hey... on acceleration i mean :| But in a turbo it's usually coil packs or base timing well-retarded, or just plug gaps!

Mirkz try this.....It works. :)

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
