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. :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • 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.
