hi all I crashed my ver 3 Sti back in September last year and have just got it back on the road I changed all the fluids yesterday engine gearbox oil etc and re fitted the 3" exhaust/downpipe that was originally on it and also changed the maf as befor I crashed it it did idle slighty rough so thought I would try that first to see if cures the bad idle I went out in the car this morning and seemed ok but it is missing slightly and a couple of times would not rev properly and had to hold the clutch to get the revs back up as nearly stopped it had new plugs just befor it went of the road would it be worth removing them and cleaning them up and seeing if that makes a difference and thought about resetting the Ecu as changed maf if anyone can give me any advice that be great as just want to get it rite as been so long and if it helps when it pulls it's fine with no miss just seems to do it when low steady throttle

 

anyone ????

 

possible stale fuel

 

Im guessing the lack of reply is due to the strain that post it puts on ones eyes.

 

why when asking for any advice on here does someone have to reply with a sarcastic remark if you can't reply with any help then plz don't bother and as for the bad fuel Sid keep it running every couple of weeks and was not alot of fuel left in it to be honest and had fresh fuel since but will run it abit more and see how it goes unless anyone else has any other ideas thanks for the helpfull reply

 

I just fixed my terrible idle and overfuelling by replacing the CO2 lambda sensor on MY00STi you could try that can pick them up for about £30

 

did think about oxygen sensor but didn't think that would make it miss fire but have a limited knowledge so could this cause a miss ?

 

hello m8 dont think reseting the ecu would help as im sure you,ve had the battery off the car or disconnected? if so then that will of reset the ecu although if you started the car before you changed the maf? then its worth a reset,missfire? as you said wont hurt to take out the plugs and check them over,is the car mapped?

 

Not sure about the miss mate just thought about the idle.

 

no car is not mapped running standard Ecu I have a 3" from turbo back and a blitz dump valve the car ran ok to be honest until I changed fluids and re fitted the exhaust but I did fit the new maf late last night and ran poor this morning after that so will try a reset and if no joy try the plugs etc will let you know how I get on Tomoz thanks guys

 

Check the HT leads for corrosion to

 

had them of at the top and looked ok but will check the bottom when remove the plugs Tomoz
