random misfire after 4500rpm
Thursday, June 21, 2007 7:40 PM
i've got the gm supercharger with the 3.0 pulley full exhaust and a greddy e-manage unit so i have a good tune.... new spark plugs but for some reason MOST of the time (8 out of 10) after my car gets above 4500rpm it starts to misfire.... not like a drastic misfire but you can def feel it and even hear it..... its the worst when i'm trying to downshift to..... i'm really confused on what the problem is.... its been tuned and i changed spark plugs to the ones recommended for supercharged behicles ... if anyone's been through this or knows what the problem could be PLEASE let me know...

go get some 100+ octane gas and go from there even just two gallons from an empty tank

Me and BlueDeuce have the same problem, I think this has to do with your AFR, check your wideband. I get 10 at idle and 12.5 in boost.

get a gapping tool....looks like a quarter.....and push down the bar to the diode or watever.....then regap the plug with that tool....and the tool u just spin it till it reaches 30 .....now with mine i did them quick so i just went between 28 and 30 in that range on all 4 plugs(across the board)

Hmmm...I have mine gapped at .34 (TR6s)

Maybe I'll gap them all down to .28 and see if I have the misfire still? I knw they need to be gapped closer to reduce spark blowout but .28 seems a little too much? I'll try that in the morning and then clear my CEL and see if it comes back?




Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?
