Recently my Gt-t has started missing a little at 5k revs it is worst when I plant it (auto) and it has to kick down an gear into first, sometimes it's quite violent other times its not even noticeable.

The only mod is the exhaust and that was done before I bought the car. Any idea's?

yeah mine does it too.

it used to do it all the time, but then i regapped plugs idown to 0.6 it only does it evry now and then now.

When i regapped the plugs i checked all my coils they looked perfect. It still does it though so i really dont know the exact answer and i dont think anyone does.

someone has said the computer doesnt like higher than standard boost and it richens it up which results in the popping you me and many other are experiencing.

the exhaust you have on will cause a slight boost increase over standard so the ecu might be doing it???. Mine started doing this when i put my exhaust on so i can sort of see the logic behind this theory.

So at the moment i am saving for splitfire coils and safc2 hopefully that fixes the problem. If not its got me fkd and i will sell the fkn thing and get a gtr.

I love my car but this stupid problem really pisses me off. SAFC2 and new coils better fix it

also it seems as though its a more common probelm with the auto's

if someone knows the exact answer and is not just speculating like me and others

please HELP!!!

i dont want to spend all my money on safc2 and splitfires only to find out that it was something else. hehehehehe that would drive me even more crazy.

Thanks for the replies.

I will checkthe coils. I also have a fair few mods being put on, on tuesday, so I will get the mechanic to have a bit of a squiz while he is poking around. Will also regap my sparkplugs at the same time, so hopefully the problem is fixed.

If not I hope my new ecu will fix the problem. That will be getting installed and tuned sometime after tuesday.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
