Default Missfiring with turbo....

I have a 95 OBD I GSR with a Greddy T3/T4 Turbo Kit, Missing link, FMU, AEM Fuel Rail, Fuel Regulator, MSD 6A ignition, etc....

Every once in a while it lags out and sputters...obviously missfiring. If your driving, it will stop accelerating, then it will accel again...kinda jerking

Im curious if anyone else has had problems with this...

I am thinking it might be the MSD, my plug wires, or a lack of fuel.... Im not really sure. I dont know much about turbo.


anyone help?

trying running with out the MSD box. Make sure the spark plugs are correct and gapped at about .28. Make sure to look at them as I have seen the porcelain crack. Check your cables, and wiring.

usually a step colder plug is sufficient with a moderate build.

Or even grab some NAPA part # 4554's ... they're 2 steps colder, and run fine. They're like 2.79/ piece.

I know I had some misfiring problems with my MSD when switching from a supercharged setup to NA while in the process of my turbo build ... Got rid of the msd and went to stock ignition - and everything runs fine now.
