Misfire at 4000rpm

[cuprakevo]

hi people

recently had a coil pack change,
was told that spark plugs needed changing,
car was misfiring at 3000rpm, so decided to service the car and change plugs

plugs have now been changed but car misfires at 4000rpm now

thinking it could be a faulty coil pack?

anyone had this problem any advice is much appreciated

thanks
kev

matt is looking at mine tonight for the same problem!! but mines at about 3500rpm!! so il post up what he finds!!

 

[carlisle pete]

well matt had a look and as he expected! was one of the coils!! so il be ordering 4 news ones tomoz to sort it out!!

 

[cuprakevo]

cheers pete, me and my cousin suspected it was a coil pack

 

[carlisle pete]

isn t this just the flat spot that these engines seem to experience around this area?

I found running shell optimax helps, or revo remap.

I went for the more expensive short term option of the remap!

 

[carlisle pete]

always run mine on optimax ( v-power) and its running IHI Big turbo!! so no flat spots for me!! just coils knackered!!
£25.00 each fron local garage!! pickin them up this afternoon!!

mine done the same , but used to misfire at about 7000 revs , and start spluttering , it was the plugs in mine , it only happened when it was on full boost , boost gauge cranked up all the way , all sorted now i think , will let you know when i get the car back from being resprayed , you spoke to jabba pete , about warranty on your ihi , not sure if they will warranty mine as i wasnt the owner of the car when they done it , anything to get out of fitting a new turbo ,

 

[carlisle pete]

lol naaa im gonna ring them this afternoon as i need it done asap as REDLINE mag have said they are gonna feature it and performance test is with all their timing gear to do 0-60 times, top speed tests etc on it!! cant wait!!

there is'nt a usual flatspot at these rpms on these engines..
something is amiss

 

[carlisle pete]

well if its the turbo nick mine should still be under warranty as i only got the IHI conversion done in feburary.... so unless jabba are gonna arses with me after spending 7k with them it should all be covered.. send me a pm with ur number etc n il give you a call if i need it...

 

[ibizacupra]

[nick-barnes07]

you tried the new n75 yet Nick?

not yet bill , havent had chance to go down to where the car is being sprayed , will chuck it on as soon as i get it back

I had a misfire not to long ago at about 4000rpm like above and it turned out to be a knackered n75 valve, so defo worth a change.

Mine had a misfire at 4500rpm in second gear yesterday for the first time ever, it happened twice in 2 or 3 mins then was fine. Probably yet another coil pack on it way lol.

 

[carlisle pete]
