Ian C Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hesitation/misfire? Are you running more boost than stock? If so it could be yer spark plugs need a colder grade. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jast Posted January 31, 2003 Author Share Posted January 31, 2003 Just though the same thing myself, how do I resolve this???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Does this happen at about 110(ish) mph? If so, then your speed restrictor is still in place (if its a J-spec!)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesG Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 It's easy to tell if it's fuel cut, as the car violently stops accelerating (much worse than a gear change) and the check engine light goes on for a few seconds. James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 1: If the big red triangle and engine warning light appear along with a large jolt then it's likely to be fuel cut. 2: If it's a progressive slowing down, stuttering then it's likely to be plugs. Fit NEW and go one grade colder. 3:If it just won't go past 112mph then you have the top speed limiter still and need to remove it. Email me on [email protected] for 1 and 3 resolutions. 2: can be sourced from JPS Motorsport, Torque IC, TDi or yourself directly from a motor fator. You need NGK 6097 (BKR7E) for example.

Fit NEW and go one grade colder. That's exactly what I had last year, I thought it was a 'soft cut' at about 16PSI. After much discussion I got BKR7E's put in to replace the stock platinum 6's and I now hit the 18PSI 'hard cut' red triangle on 'good' days.
