I've had a miss ever since I bought my car back a month ago. The first day it had a baddddd miss, I got in the boost and I created no extra power but continued to build boost.
Cleaned plugs, re-gapped them to 31, miss went bye bye.
Miss says hello again, on race day morning. Hurry and change plugs, gap to 31 again, miss went out for the entire race.
Miss comes back again! Today it only happened at idle, every 3 seconds to every 10 seconds, it varied. I took the my coil wire and coil out to inspect.
Below is the carnage I found. I want to know why my contact looks so corroded?? Any guesses? Looks like it sat in the Atlantic for 2 years. So I put a new one on, cut out a fresh piece of wire in the plug, cleaned both contacts, cleaned the contacts that go to the + and - terminals on the coil. Miss went away. Came back subtedly, I had the terminals touching the housing of the coil, angled them away and miss went away.
Came back again a few moments later but every 10 or so seconds.
Why wont it go away!?!?!? I still build huge power at WOT so I don't think it's really affecting my power, but I'm just concerned of being robbed for it. In fact after I replaced the corroded contact I noticed a good improvement. :nod:
Thanks!
