Misssing

Thanks to MR CALIBRATOR i got my coil packs so i instaled them yesterday afternoon started the car it was running nicely left it to get some heat into my enjin and whent for a drive as i exited the drive way the bluddy thing started misfirering any segestions I fideled a bit and sortof got it sorted but it seems like a wireing problem or an earth problem 😳 😳 😳 😕 🙁 :x I FEEL LIKE CREYING

What kind of missfire is it? Sometimes people call things missfires that are actually wsomething else.

Does a cylinder or 2 breakdown as you load it from low rpm and then clear up?
Or does 1 or more of the cylinders die completly?
Or does the engine just cut out momemtarily?

i went through something similar, that i initially thought was coils, or the coil harness.

after going through every single damn problem that it could have been, it turned out to be CAS.

i'm not saying your problem will be your CAS, i'm saying that you should keep your hopes up because you will need them if this problem is going to take as long as i did to resolve mine!!!!

and try to supply us with enough info so that we might be able to help.

good luck dude!

I had a similar problem whenever I changed my plugs from 6 - 7. Everytime I would pull the plugs and they would FULL of carbon, so after many hours of leaning the mixtures, test driving and pulling plugs it has almost stopped. The car was just far too rich. I have just order my Zeitronix wideband and see where the mixtures are, will make it alot easier as I wont have to continuously pull the plugs and check.

Maybe this could be your problem?!

It is a missfire only on cylinder four and it doesnt clear out when the rpms goes up but when it idles it sounds fine and it revs up abit without misfireing but as soon as i want to drive it it starts missfireing im convused (IN MY glory in)

So 1 cylinder is missing under load.

Have you checked your injector on 4?

i'm quite sure he said cylinder 4.

I meant 1 cylinder, 1 of the 4.[/quote]

Do this.
Number the coils. Swap no 4 to no 1 take the plugs out look carefully at the condition if they look fine swop no 2 and no 4.

Now see which cyl the missfire has moved to if its still at no 4 then its not the coil or the plug. Go to step 2

2:Then swop no 4 injector to no 1 and see if the missfire moves if it doesnt then have a real good look at your wiring and possibly the Coil driver.

You should isolate it in 30mins if you do the above.

listen to the words of wisdom!!! this plan would have saved me plenty of time, but i had other ideas. i decided to go after the electrical system!!!

anyway - this would probably take me about 30 hours - not minutes!!! but then again, i like to undo a few nuts and bolts, then talk kaka, then undo some more then have a beer, then redo some nuts and bolts and talk more kaka while having more beer.

it would be a veritable party of mechanics in my garage over the weekend if calibrators plan had to happen!!!

I got it sorted :200sx_punk: seems like one of my earth wires was broken internaly so replace wire a :200sx_gunsmilie: nd away problem

Cool man....that just shows you....how small things like that can make murphy smile all the way....bastard!!!

Is murphy a member or someting? Cause he's always showing up!

Good to hear your problem's sorted man 😀

Murphy is our mascot...we can't get rid of him.... 😕

i'll find you a picture, but its difficult cos he quite elusive!!! he doesnt like to show his face often, but he likes to leave his ugly little mark!
