hey all just bought a 4 door 32 and i had coil packs tested, they were stuffed got new splitfire coil packs and irridium plugs and put them in and a new oxygen sensor also went in. and i still seem to have a rather bad misfire or hesitation while im driving the car on boost or not.it is running an auto mines ecu and car is manual and the plug on the cat convertor has been cut off in japan so the dash light flashes constantly can anyone help me please.

i have also checked afm

any help would be much appreiciated

also may sound stupid, check your oil level

where any vacuum hoses changed? i know i had problems when i used bigger hoses for my turbo's bleed valve and blow off set up, started causing a lil drama's

also take out those irridiums and get some ngk copper plugs, ull have less drama's

My Suggestions;

1. What plug gap? Should be 0.8 mm, not 1.1 mm as they usually come.

2. Have you checked the ignition timing? Autos run more initial ignition advance than manuals, it may be necessary to set the timing at 20 degrees instead of 15 degrees. Try both and compare.

3. Have you had a leak down test done? Results?

4. I have never seen a Mines ECU work very well in Australia, get a hold of a standard ECU and compare. You could spend much time and money chasing other things when the ECU is the real problem.

5. Pull the bulb in the cat overheat warning light.

Hope that helps

:( cheers :)

un plug the 02 sensor. it sounds silly but it will eliminate it as a problem. evan if its new it could be the wrong one.

also if you can get hold of a fuel presure guage it would be handy.,tell the mechanic to test it while hes up it.

(be carful not to place it under the wipers as i broke a windscreen doing it that way)

does it have a foam type airfilter,or any aftermarket air filter?

from what it sounds like these are my main suspect parts:

1-air flow meter

2-fuel pump

3-02 sensor(will be ok when cold but f**k out after about 2-3 mins)

4-ignition igniter.-finned thing at the back of the motor

5-coolant temp sensor

if had to fix a whole heap of these problems with cars coming of the boat, and its usaly in that order.

    • 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.
