saab turbo setup misfire
Thursday, May 13, 2010 5:52 AM
Well I picked up a Saab Turbo setup and installed it on to my car. At idle it seems to run fine, but when I Rev it up it has a miss and continues to miss till I turn the car off and restart it. I was going to try plugs first but I'm new to boost so after that I'm unsure. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

what fuel mods do you have done?

Plugs should be gapped at about .035 with boost

It's t2's old setup. Has Saab green top injectors, GM supercharger flash, SS tmap sensor.

This confuses me too...
Those plugs were fine when I ran them, and that's the only idea I really think for the misfire. That computer worked fine too, maybe a security relearn or something?

Like I said, I hate to say it is plugs being they were fine when I had to tear down. They probably only have 5,000-6,000 miles on them, but it is a cheap fix if that is the problem. Hoping that's all it is too.

Did you rewire the tmap on your car or just swap out injector wire harnesses? I usually spray some electrical contact cleaner in that big connector when I unplug it just to be safe. Did you make sure all the injector clips were in good.

There was a vacuum line that runs off the valve cover to the inlet of the turbo that I didn't get on. That was the whole problem. Thanks for the help everyone. Runs nice and smooth now. Now it's time to get use to the boost.
