Beastmode panda Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Does sound like plugs. I used to put a fresh set in every few months on my old GT. keeps it running fresh and helps prevent a miss fire when booting it some. Too true man, these plugs have been in the car since i got it literally just over a year ago this month and also god knows how long before that haha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Standard gap for ct9 at standard boost is 1.1mmBut as you flow more air you blow the spark outYou don't want a too smaller spark as that can cause partial burns and pre-ignition So you want the biggest gap you can whilst still getting clean running. I've had a few beers, so that might not make sense.I'd go for 0.8mmYou feel me fam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Well guys, the misfire is STILL there at 1bar and above. If the boost controller is running a bar or above it misfires, then if I lower the boost setting it pulls strong right round the rev range :l ... I've now changed for brand new parts, the following; dizzy caprotor armiridium plugsht leads What else is causing this . I want to cry, then sell it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The coil pack and igniter pack could cause this as well. Unless its a lean miss fire. What's the fuel pressure at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Put another earth on the head as its cheap and easy but not likely to be that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) The coil pack and igniter pack could cause this as well. Unless its a lean miss fire. What's the fuel pressure at? Standard fuel pressure I THINK, cause when I had the fueling set up on the dyno he said I set it up perfectly and didn't need to adjust it. I have an afpr, should I lower it a bit and try that? Put another earth on the head as its cheap and easy but not likely to be that What do you mean mate? Edited April 22, 2013 by Rbz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayc-glanza17 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 gap the plugs to .8mm i run iridiums and never had an issue..ive also got an ignitor you can try, that work on my glanza before went standalone, and that ran absolutely fine.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 If you got a bad earth it can cause a weak spark. Try putting another earth from the engine to battery or chassis. Its cheap to do even if it doesn't work but rules it out lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are brand new plugs and I did gap them to .8mm aha. Ok bro thanks, if you're up lakeside on the weekend I will grab it off you then and try it I guess. Is it easy to fit? If you got a bad earth it can cause a weak spark.

I have an afpr, should I lower it a bit and try that? You'd be wanting to raise it to rich it off, standard fuel pressures not good for td04, has you had it health checked since I put the FCD in and you changed the turbo? Could well be running in the lean zone and that'll be causing untold damage dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could well be running in the lean zone and that'll be causing untold damage dude Nope I haven't had another health check bro.. Should I RAISE the fuel pressure then? I spoke to joe and he said his Is running a lot higher than mine nearly a bar higher and he went the other week for his health check. I totally understand, I think I might raise the fuel pressure by a bar tomorrow!? JAY - I'll text you on sat mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Sure I ran 3.1 bar on my rrfrp before I went Emb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Sure I ran 3.1 bar on my rrfrp before I went Emb awesome man i'll have a play around tmos then after I fit my tial :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 What fuel pressure you running right now? If its standard you need to be running under fuel cut boost so map sensor can fuel it, got your old plugs? Post a pic of them upBest thing is really to get another health check with the FCD and new turbo, as FCD will be tricking the ECU and the new turbo will be flowing more air.

TurboTobz Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Also if your a bar under joe your around 2.4b meaning you need to boostunder fuel cut to avoid running lean 0.7/0.8 ish I think sits under fuel cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
