As above. Its hard to explain what its really doing, i can really on tell my story and what ive tryed and soforth, so see how it goes..

ITs started with comming home after a long day at work..... Spent half a hour got changed and went out. Now i drove the skyline home. and it was running sweet as. Now after hoping back in. No go. it seemed it didnt want to even bite on cranking. It was getting spark and getting fuel. (by the looks of it). After 30mins of waiting. she seem'd to of went. GREAT!

40 mintues later of driving. She started to break down. Missing. Coughing. It started with a bit of a miss/stumble on boost. (6psi atm) backing off the throttle and back on cured it. Then it became progressivly worse. Light throttle Intoduced large amounts of missing. And over the cause of 3km it wouldnt of even idle.

TRying to get up a hill was entertaining.

SO i was sitting on the side of the road in pitch back looking around my engine bay with my little pen with a light on the back of it. And noticed my water temp sensor plug had one of the terminals off, inside the plug hosing. Here's me thinking "Yippie" She will go now. Which i was right. Sort of. Still missed only running on 5 cylinders. This got me able to drop this off at a Friends aunty's place so i can come back for it. and so she was safe.

Next day........... **ding**

Had a look. By the looks on every plug. Overfuling. they were all foued and coated in fuel. Cleening them made no improvement in running. as well not it wont even idle.

Ive replaced. "Water temp sensor", AFM, FPR, dizzy cap. Check fuel pump. and line blockages. Spark is strong and timing is fine. The top of number 5 injector is now leaking, yet again i had only just replaced it.

Its now the point of. no matter what i do the plugs foul. Cleen them, bang foul.

Any idea's ?

Its now at the point of. I replaced the FPR 2 nights ago. And the fuel lines seemed to of primed alot better than the other Fpr did. But now my Fuel pump is pulsating. Its getting a perminant 12v sorce from the battery and is Switched throuh a Relay thats trigured off the car alarm.

Sound like what my FJ was doing when I( first got it. Turns out (after much swearing and setting up a compressor to push 10psi into the cooler pipes) that a hose (might have been positive pressure, I guess it couldnt have been vacuum because the engine wasnt running when I found it) under the inlet manifold had come off. It was just in the right spot that you couldnt see it from underneath or above the car and you couldnt really hear where the noise was coming from, but once I put it back on it was fine

It would definitely have been overfuelling with the broken water temp wire - the ECU would think the engine was cold and it delivers much more fuel to a cold engine.

I suspect the excess fuel has destroyed the plugs. I think new plugs should solve all your problems (but I've been known to be wrong before!).

Well, you guys were thinking along the same lines as me, And i replaced all my leads and plugs, with standard bp5es. Its been running better than before i can now rev to 7k, "not much tho" when i used to run out of spark at 5k. This is only on 6psi 3rd gear has a hell of alot of pull.

Heres a good one, Why does 1st and 2nd have no pull, evenknowing its at 6psi, but 3rd gear just honks compared to 1st and 2nd

not that im aware of....my NA C210 was doing exactly that, (l24e) and it turned out to be the afm connection....maybe you have a dodge wire in the loom? check that out...there may be no prob with the hardware at all.

ah, if your relating to my Ovefuling problem, luckly thats sorted. I noted when it was doing it, AFM. and repalced that. which was still doing the same thing. But lucky it took me a while but found out all the leads had broken down. wouclnt show any problems without a load on them

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
