Can't believe it. I took my plugs out and the plug for cylinder 3 was cracked LOL! Rookie mistake, I should have checked them before doing anything! Suppose there's nothing wrong with new parts. Thanks again mate.

Haha I guess you're right. I've just bought a new set of plugs so I'm going out to switch them and I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers for the reply bud! Ahh damn I don't want less boost haha AFR as in air fuel ratio?

I've had a misfire for quite some time now, started off by replacing the Magnecor HT leads, sorted it for a few days. Replaced the dizzy cap and rotor arm, again, sorted it for a few days and it came back. I'm going for a new set of plugs today just to rule that out (NGK Iridium heat range 7). Some people have said it could be hitting fuel cut. I know it's not the best idea but I've got a HKS FCD. It's still running ct9, roughly 0.94bar of boost. FMIC, HKS mushroom filter, relocated to the front, stainless exhaust system decat, stainless manifold, FPR, it seems too high but the fuel pressure is at 4bar, it has been since I got the car 7 months ago and it's been fine up until a few months ago when the misfire started. I've got a reconditioned 4efte with just over 70,000 miles on it. Sometimes it boosts perfectly without misfiring and other times it misses like mad! I've described it best I could and listed all the mods I can remember to help you guys figure out what's causing it.

Cheers!

Mate read above this thread is old !

Haha holy fuck so it is!

Still got pistons and rods mate?

Thanks for the reply bud, it was the throttle body staying open a little bit, replaced that and the inlet and it's fine now. Cheers

Hey guys, was out a drive there and when I downshifted I noticed the revs didn't go down below 2krpm when I dipped the clutch. I thought the pedal may have been jammed but I pulled it back with my foot and it was still doing it, so I dipped the clutch again and revved and it went straight down to about 800. Done it a few times today. Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies. My mechanic just told me it's not sparking when it's cold, it takes a few turns and eventually it starts as if nothing is wrong lol. It also sounds to me like a bad earth, I will try and jump start it tomorrow and if it goes straight away then I know it's an earth. Thanks again.

How's it going guys. I just got a new engine put in, and when I try to start the car it doesn't want to, and sounds like the battery is completely dead, then all of a sudden it'll start. When it's heated up and you kill the engine and start it again it's fine. I can rule out alternator, starter motor, leads and coil pack.

Cheers!

Hi guys, I unfortunately blew my engine over the weekend. At my local scrapyard there is an N/A Glanza S and the engine is perfect, cheap as chips too, I was wondering if I could just take that and add all my extras, turbo, manifold, FMIC etc. Also does the block have a turbo oil feed pipe?

Thanks for the reply, I'm not exactly sure, it was my mechanic the clutch got delivered too, whatever it was he said it was too small. I hope he hasn't sent it back yet lol. I will say to him, thank you!

Hi guys, I am in need of a clutch ASAP as there's a local car show tomorrow, the idiots from the auto shop in my area sent the wrong one, I'm in Scotland

Yeah I'm not sure what to believe haha, I guess there's only one way to find out

Damn, I've got a HKS SSQV, FMIC, relocated HKS mushroom air filter but I don't really fancy blocking my BOV hose to make it chatter as I've heard it's not good for the turbo.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of dump valve this is, or if it's even a dump valve and just raw power lol

I just spoke to my mechanic and he said the bolt is stuck inside the cylinder head and he can't get it out.

Lol! the bolt has snapped off and fell inside something

Thanks guys, it's not me who's doing it, it's a mechanic in my street. I thought I snapped my timing belt but it was just the tensioner bolt (luckily!). I'm not sure exactly what it is the mechanic is doing but he's been snapping drill bits trying to do it lol.

Hi guys, does anyone know what will drill in to an idler wheel bolt apart from a CNC mill? All the drill bits I have used snapped lol.

Cheers

Thanks Morgey, what reason did you give them?

Ok cheers guys, I will phone them tomorrow morning.

I bought a Glanza a couple of weeks ago and I have just finished working on the things it needed. I got an MOT today and it passed, I then went to my local post office and tried to tax it, only to find out I couldn't, and the woman behind the counter dind't know why. So I tried to tax it online and found out that previous owner didn't SORN the vehicle, how the hell am I supposed to tax it?

Cheers

Ok no problem, just wanted to make sure it took a bit of time, I thought my order didn't go through or something.

Thanks.

Hey guys, couldn't find the right section to post this so I'll just leave it here lol. I bought a UKSO keyring from here 5 days ago and I still haven't been informed that it's been dispatched, has anyone else bought one and could you tell me how long it took?

Cheers.
