ok so my car started misfiring about a month ago. i changed the plugs, wires, and then got a new distributor. the car still misfires and now its alot slower and sluggish with the dist.
im going to do a compression check today and hope that goes over good.
any of you guys have this problem.
setup is just basic boltons with jrsc on 6lbs....
i dont get it

 

noone can help???

 

No idea but, any kind of Tune on it ?

 

no thats one of the things i had needed , never did though....

 

I can't tell you much since it's forced induction, and I don't really have much experience in that area,
You might even want to try the FI section here if you haven't yet.

Is there any changes in your timing?

 

yeah patterson i heard you where having trouble check your timing. and i don't say get it tuned cause hell you said it ran fine till now. you met my boy ryan in atlanta had 00 gsr he had the same problem till i put on hondata in there for him. i had checked the timing put 2 distributors in and everything finally it works great now.


on second note when you installed the distributor did you center it in the middle or what?

 

yeah timing is fine checked when put the dist. in....
yeah Ryan is a good guy , his car looks badass too. hondata might help but im gonna make sure nothing bad happened first.

 

What does your spark plug gap look like? Is it throwing codes...or just bogging under boost?

 

plugs are gapped at 28. they look pretty good. it boosts fine just you can tell its slower and at a rest it idles rough. throwing misfire code.

 

Maybe you have an injector sticking or it went out. Just something else to look at.

 

my friends stock gsr was misfiring it was a scortched valve

 

yeah thats what ive heard.
thanks for the help

 

does it misfire at idle and just driving normal or does it misfire only when boosting? since you lost power you might not be running on all cylinders my be valves are bad maybe you screw up your spark plugs agian their are many things that make a car miss

 

when was the last time you ran some injector cleaner ?

 

scanner says missfire on all 4 cy's. ran injector cleaner less than a week ago. car you can tell has lost power but really just tell with the idle problem at a stop. just doesnt pull hard but no bogging either.

 

wow all four cylinders hmmm if your in town bills wholesale has a nifty compression tester in case and all for like $20 maybe you should give that shot if you hadn't already

 

yeah i have one at home, start there i guess.

 

Clean the PCV.

 

I had the same problem with my JRSC Integra. I ended up burning a ring. I was also running 6 lbs with basic bolt-ons. I had to change my block. I did the same thing as you by changing every part I could think of and nothing helped. I ended up doing a leak down test and was losing a lot of compression. Hopefully, your problem isn't as severe as mine was. Good luck.

 

well to update everyone did a compression test and it went 185, 100, 50, 150 accross.
looks like im in the market for a new motor , not a big fan of rebuilding.
