ignition system

[john4688]

hi my car has a very odd miss fire. And i was wondering if theres a coil pack conversion or anything to make a better spark? Or do you lot not have any problems with the standard ignition system?

If the ign system is in good condition it works very well.

Craige101's car does a 10.6 1/4 mile with a standard distributor and coil pack, so I think you'd have to be running some serious power and/or boost to need a coil pack conversion.
In fact, looking at the pictures I took of his engine bay; I'd say those are standard leads too... quite a bit of it is standard on the outside.

They do make them, but I really think you'd be wasting your money... but I say that about the FPR and people go out and buy them too.

im having missfire issues with mine just orderd a new rotor arm and dizzy ive got magnacor leads that are only a few months old and using NGK bcr8es plugs. is it worth getting a nec coil as well?

 

[stumo]

Coils are expensive, Nissan leads are generally considered very good.

You'll probibly cure it with the dizzy cap and rotor arm (unless you've bought shitty non-genuine ones :doh

 

[john4688]

no just orderd them from nissan! do the coils genraly cause a problem or are they good? is there any way to test them?

 

[stumo]

Think they're pretty reliable.

Only way to test them is with a mulitmeter.

 

[billy187]

did you gap the plugs when you put them in?

 

[john4688]

yeah plugs at .7

AFM is probably more likely id say. Try changing it for a known good one and rule that out.

ECU check also for knock issues.

Good luck.

I never changed the gap on my plugs with no issues they are the same as the above mentioned!
