my efi tr magna misfires mainly after going up or down hills or sudden stops(it eventually comes good after a while). on the highway no dramas. does this sound like i've got crap floating around in tank or perhaps a fuel filter problem.also is there a filter in the tank or anywhere before the petrol reaches the one in the engine bay. any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Your in luck, the fault can easily be diagnosed!

The code can be read with a LED test light or high impedence (Min 1 megohm) analogue volt meter.

The pulses are displayed as a series of long and short pulses. To identify the the code number, note the number of long and short pulses. One long pulse followed by 4 short pulses is code 14. If more than one code exists they will be displayed in numerical order with a pause in between. If no faults are present a continuous series of short pulses will be displayed.

To Test

Connect the negative lead of the test equipment to pin 12 and the postive lead to pin 1 and turn ignition on. Read codes.

My problems were MAF and Injectors, both were fixed by cleaning the connectors with contact cleaner.
