misfire help needed
think il save up and get one but time being i think repairing the one ive got is the best option, you would think taht sum 1 out there would produce a non genuine but quality repacement for it, within the uk. (some one out there nudge nudge)

yeh new loom is summin im more and more tempted with, considering this is sucha common falut im assuming zedworld have/sell replacement connectors so im gonna give them a call tomorrow see it i can get some and maybe new cas and water temp, while im at it those boys look set to cause issues soon.
-
misfire help needed
yup agreed, mines having its injector plugs and coil pack connectors renewed soon. had a chat with the guy across the road an old rally entusiast he had a quick look and told me basically clean my connectors better theyre not fully clean and this may have made the issue worse or ittermitent from the removal of the grease and spreading the fillings about etc, ie clean them better it will probally work. the throttle position sensor was the one that he told me off for lol

and the problem hasnt gone, yesterday it was a little funny on idle. so today i cleaned teh idl;e control valve connections and teh cas and ptu and water temp for teh ecu. bothe the cas and the water temp(ecu) were a bit tatty. now it well just doesnt run on its own ie some accelorator has to be applied. im gonan book the car in tomorrow with alocal jap specialist. im convinced its summin tertribly silly. but my noodles baked with it and id like them to have a good poke around and check the rest of the car over.

right, went for a quick drive it seems to be firing on all six now but still bogs at idle which im for the time being gonna assume is the idle control vaklve which il have to take apart and clean see if taht cures the issue. the car drove as normal as it ever did if anything it seemed faster. the turbo kicking in was like warp factor! lol i believe the virtual pint goes to zed me up for suggesting pushing the spade a little closed witha small screwdriver, it did the trick

misfire help needed
osty1 was that on the spark circuit or injector circuit? and zed me up i think your right im fairly convinced that its summin of that sort its just finding out wetahter its right without replacing everything till summin helps, time is not on my side

i swapped the plug for teh cyldner next door and the cyldner still doesnt fire, hence ive pretty much decided its not an issue with spark there was a good healthy spark from the plug when i checked it.im thinking its either the ptu the harness or the timing in some way. but i cant see how taht could have changed overnight
