So I always hear this puff puff coming from my exahust, I think its a miss..I got a random misfire code all the time...If you hold a piece of paper up to the the tip of the exhaust it will actually suck the paper in when puffs...My car runs perfect though up to 7000, sometimes it misses up top but nothing major...if I had a bad piston ring or ringland wouldnt it run like crap and smoke a lot...

 

Have you checked your plugs?

 

Yea, thats its own issue...they are gapped at .025 the car will not drive if they are gapped any larger

 

.025??? Check your coils or something. That gap sounds very tight.

 

I know i've checked everything, It misses the most in cyl 2 at idle, I've swapped the coil and plug it all stays the same.

 

whos tune are you running.

 

Ron...

 

uh oh.

 

Yea, thats what I keep hearing...what you think...

 

I think you need to do a compression test and see if its bad news....

but considering the track record with this guys tunes lately....it doesnt look good....
.25 gap is insanely small.

 

yeah your tune is way off just like everyone elses hes tuned .he has mine off so bad my wideband drops off the scale at wot

 

Well, I did the compression test and I got 150 across the board...

 

should be 180.

but with you having a consistent 150, the tool might be off, DA can have an effect, ect.

eaither your down on all cylinders or you're alright.

 

Internals are fine then, check ignition system. Plugs should be around .035 and running great! Get a new tune maybe.

 

Yea, Im getting a dyno tune from a shop down my way because the Ron who tuned me cant tune anymore...06Blackg85 sent me a tune to try on my car butI cant find anyone in MD to put it on for me...

 

sounds to me like something similar that happened here.
Some people have an interesting method of tuning using much smaller gaps.
so far ive seen it pop two engines, and run HORRIBLE amounts of knock no matter what they do.

I would strongly suggest you get a basic 60lb 2.8 tune from someone, and get that gap up into the 0.33-0.37 range where it should be, and go from there.

 

I got a tune, I have no one to put it on though, I dont feel like paying another 150 when I can get a dyno tune for 350

 

yeah true enough.

make sure you tell them everything thats gone on.
and get those gaps up to about 0.35ish for the dyno tune. otherwise they will have the same issues tuning it.

 

Yea, I was thinking that too, thats a good idea...but do you think my exhaust should be sucking like that...

 

I am looking to get a group together to go to a dyno shop to get tuned in Fredericksburg, VA at promotion tuning would you be interested we can all save money I have me and 1 other so far need a min of 5 to get group rate

 

Damn, I'm sure Paul's tune would solve your issues too. I have an awesome tune for your setup as well, but since you don't have HPTuners you're sort of SOL.

 

So if I found someone in MD with HP Tuners would I have to 150 again?

 

do a leak down first.

out of random curiousity, what is the service limit for the engine?

 

Service limit?

 

This is why people shouldn't buy HPTuners unless they know what the hell they are doing! You are holding someone's property in jeopardy!
