Hi guys,

Just thought I would give you all an update on my car and what the current status is at the moment.

The car is running and on the road, a few people off the forums have seen the car and ive been getting a lot of positive feedback.

Im currently at 500km on the engine, running stock internal wasgate (5psi). Just bedding the engine in.

My problem at the moment is I have a missfire in my engine. it happens with and without load. from iddle untill about 2,200 and kicks back in around 4,500 + RPM

2 Things I am thinking it could be... Injectors or Cam Grind.

Theres not much more else I can give you. Everything else on the car is brand spanking new (inc injectors and cam) but yeah im scratching my head and so is everyone else.

Is there any chance it could be the TPS sensor? Because my idle can vary some times, 900 - 1000 then sometimes its like 1200....?

Feedback pplz!! Will get some pics up soon!

Could also be dodgey leads.

Injectors too.

TPS you can test pretty easy.

Do magnas have a crank angle sensor?

Usually when things like this happen its in the ignition side of thnigs.. i say check the dizzy, i'm not sure how the magna one work, or if they have any advance in them. They can wear and get sticky causing you random miss...

Check your cap and rotor... give a clean, check your heat range on the spark plugs....

Ummmm yeah thats all i got at the moment.

no crank angle sensor.

Leads are new. Dizzy is new, only every single part in my car is less than 2 months old.

But maybe TPS, I dont know hwo to check it and what are the common symptoms of a TPS going? Does it cause a missfire?

No pics yet because its been blardy raining the last 2 days, waitin for a decent day!
