Hi guys,

I am having issues at high revs 4-5grand +, with my car spluttering and poping and losing power. We dont think its the timing or the knock sensors after running a diagnostic computer.

A few people have said it could be the coil packs, how do i check the them? It would cost a lot to replace them and if there isnt a problem with them that could be a real waste of money.

also another person mentioned the air flow meter.. sound like it could be the problem?

*tear*

cheers :rofl:

  • 4 weeks later...

i had the same problem mate my coils were fine

however it only started happening when i put in new iridium plugs. for the moment i gapped them right down to .6 and this fixed the problem but still happens from time to time

i am going to put some copper ngk plugs in next i have a feeling its the iridium plugs but i will test and see if its is

How do you know your coil packs are fine?

i took them out and thoroughly inspected them no scorch marks cracks etc plus the fact that they work most of the time now makes me think they are fine. coils are either broken or working from my understanding they dont work intermitently??

also my car was fine before i put iridium plugs in it then it started happening

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
