Some misfire on boost

VVladeadmin22 Aug 2008, 06:39

Well the car was running so great... but you know being an SX it have to let you know every now and than that its still an SX

I've got a misfire intermittently on boost, initially I thought it was because the car is cold... now it happened when the car at operating temp. It sounds like I'm hitting the limiter when the car comes into boost, and that is not gunning it about 50% / 70% throttle...

Haven't checked anything, will check plugs and coils tomorrow afternoon, got a slight suspicion its the fuel pump.

Any ideas what it can be?

Plugs.

Fuel Pump, check the pipes in the tank as well.

Check compression in cyl 3, oh wait, its not an SR20 😛

haha...

No the misfire seems to be across all cylinders, like I said it sounds like I'm hitting the limiter when the boost comes in...

PLUGS!!!

What is your charge and discharge time??

that depends on how old you are...

as you age your charge time takes way longer while your discharge time happens very quickly! 😂 😂 😂

I think you neglected to mention the backfire. That suggests no spark or overfuelling. Maybe there's a problem with MAF sensor or the fuel map in your wolf ECU?

Backfire? Did you see any backfires 😀

Doesn't it make a loud bang as you get on boost at full throttle? Or is this now different to the problem you had during the Durban trip?

Hey Vlade, Check your boost pipes from the turbo. If there is a leak then your motor is expecting more air and basically just over fuels and miss fires. I experienced it this weekend.

He runs a MAP sensor so this wont happen.

Have you checked the PLUGS??

Step 1 is to check the plugs if they look decent close the gaps up you may need to go as small as .50mm in some cases. If closing the gaps up helps then start looking for some coils with horsepower so you can run bigger plug gaps again.

You will find that as you close the gaps up the idle will start to deteriote
