Hi,
I have recently fitted a Apexi AVC-R boost controller to my 94 wrx. I raised the boost to 0.95 and all seamed to be ok. I have been using optimax with 1 ml per liter of NF booster. When I ran out off booster I put optimax in on its own and noticed a lot of misfire with WOT between 4000 to 6000 at full boost. But once I used NF again it calmed down but was still there slightly so I decided to change my spark plugs. I used NGK platinum 7's which I have always used. but since the plug change the misfire has come back with a vengeance. I now have huge misfire at full 0.95 boost. The car struggles to accelerate. The interesting thing is, the misfire isn't as bad if I lower the boost to say 0.8 bar. Could this be the coil packs as my car has done 120,000 miles any comments!!! Cheers |
Probably coil packs, try your plug gap at 0.6mm, if the misfire clears, it's the coils.
ps I run at 0.6 mm even with uprated coils, so if it works - don't fix it !! Andy |
cheers Andy,
Do you have any idea why it was worse after fitting new plugs? What differances are there using 0.6mm instead of 0.7mm, what I mean is, is it safe to use 0.6mm Cheers |
