Some misfire on boost

and? what it set to? cause it sounds like what my kadett was doing on boost cut..

I would check the plugs first. I had the same issue with mine, it was over fueling and was fouling the plugs then you when you floored it it would break down. Closed the plug gaps and changed from BCPR7ES to BCPR6ES and it sorted it out untill I could fix the fuel map. When the fuel map is correct you can change back to BCPR7ES.

Agreed, if the fuel map is a f-up you going to battle, have it not been set up with a wideband yet? also the BCPR7ET's work better...

I would rather go with a hotter plug 6 vs 7, this will help prevent the plugs fouling.

thats curing the symptom not the problem, why are they fouling? why not fix the fuel map?

you need it to run properly while you are fixing the problem dont you???

Correct but it is not easy to fix the fuel map why the plugs are constantly fouling. Thats why I say fix #6's then sort the fuel map out. When right you can change back to 7s.

wow... been MIA for a few days... some action on my post, makes me wanna go work on the car right now... 😀

Plugs is the first thing I'll check tomorrow morning...

Ja this is one of this funny things, car runs like a dream for weeks then suddenly this...

Love the have a look at my AFR but don't have something to connect to the Wolf, dont have a Serial 2 USB nor a laptop... will maybe drive to someone that have one of those things tomorrow, might even be a sensor that F'd out and causing the car to overfuel... not unlikely...

Looks like its gone from bad to worse... now the car can't even pick up revs... but idles perfectly.

GGary5702 Sept 2008, 15:53

Plugs??

VVladeadmin02 Sept 2008, 17:09

Checked them they are still like new, I suspect something else now... not sure what but its gotta be something else... Problem is I don't have a laptop to hookup to the car to see whats going for what.. and with less than 48 hours till I fly... I'm just gonna leave it as is...
