Misfire Blues....

[LIMEYTY]

Hi guys,
Thanks for your advise,the misfire has gone.
I changed the distributor cap,rotor arm,spark plugs,fuel filter & put Taylor leads on it.
I am not sure if the IC pump is working,because the Typhoon goes like a bat out of hell for a while but starts to get slower as it warms up, i have done the wire to negative on the relay to the pump but its not running.
I have just bought a johnson pump,adjustable fuel pressure regulator,3 bar sensor,ultimate chip,electric fuel pressure gauge,boost gauge, pillar pod mount for gauges & 5 gallons of VP racing fuel (motorsport 96 unleaded).
Is there anything else i need & what sort of setting should i use on the Ultimate chip.?
What sort of times should i expect at the drag strip with this combo.?

Thanks again,

LIMEYTY. :tup:

Re: Misfire Blues....

I've noticed that my TY goes like a bat out of hell when it's cold but when it starts to warm up it's not as fast. Like if I get on the freeway and I'm going 60mph then ease on the gas my boost will jump up to like 9 or 10 psi without kicking down the gear, but when it warms up I can ease on the gas until it reaches like 5 psi then it will kick down to a lower gear. 5 psi feels nothing like the 9 or 10...lol.... Like a two stroke powerband

Re: Misfire Blues....

High intake temps or heat soak of the upper intercooler will really effect performances.. I'd suggest possibly wrapping the underside of the upper ic with some heat resistent material and get your IC pump working.. a none working IC pump will really kill your MAT and intake temps. First thing I'd check would be the IC PUMP FUSE.. which is located behind the alternator in a black fuse holder.. after that I'd check to see how high engine temps climb with datamaster.. if they are higher then 180 i'd concider replacing the current thermostat with a 180 unit asap.

Also anotehr thing to think about would be your EGR.. I dont' know how the whole smog thing is over in uk but i've noticed on datamaster on my truck, that after I drive a minute or two at a normal or steady speed. My EGR will kick in and completly kill my mats and intake temps. Im talking raise the temp by 40 degrees within a 25 second window... because of this im yanking that egr crap otu of my truck just as soon as I get time. Problem is, if your running the stock chip. You'll receive check engine lights at steady speeds unless you get this disabled within the chip.

Re: Misfire Blues....

Whats involved in ripping out the EGR,we dont have to worry about it here in the U.K.
Do i need to make a blanking plate.?
As i am going to install a Ultimate chip does the engine check light come on if i remove the EGR with this chip.?

Thanks,

Re: Misfire Blues....

rotor arm

New term I like it

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it's my understanding that the Ultimate will disable the EGR with the T1-16 setting and above.

Get the IC pump working and things will go better.

I'm thinking that the Ultimate disables the EGR on any setting except the "valet" and "stock" program. All the others settings don't use it so you will not get a check engine light when using anything but the lowest 2 settings. As far as taking it out you really dont have to since the chip disables it but it does clean up the engine compartment some. Someone else chime in on the chip settings thing if I'm wrong. I've been away from the SyTy world too long.

yeah I forgot he was using the ultimate.. I believe the ultimate disables the egr so you can remove it if you want without having ill effects I believe and I agree get that IC pump flowing then go from there.

You beat me to it Don. I guess that what I get for replying at work. At least 16 min for to type up a reply :roll: I need to be more focused on the syty board I guess.

Re: Misfire Blues....

Thanks very much Guys,
I will change the IC pump tommorow.
I am racing my Typhoon on the weekend at one of only four dragstrips in the whole of the U.K.(shakespeare county raceway) Hope it doesn't rain.
Did you like my word Don W, (rotor arm) i think you call it a distributor rotor, i will keep you informed of anymore crazy English words....

Here is some; Fanny,is a womans pussy.
Faggot is a meat ball.
Rocker cover is a valve cover.

Thanks again,

We shorten it to just rotor, Rocker cover is the same here, "valve cover" being also common. I like boot, bonnet, and nappies (we call 'em diapers).

Re: Misfire Blues....

Thanks again guys,
I changed the IC pump today,upgraded it to a johnson pump.
That sorted the problem out instantly,the Typhoon goes like stink all the time now.
I also changed the engine thermostat to a 165 degree, hope this helps.
I am going drag racing tommorow with my 10sec Monte Carlo & i am going to run the Typhoon as well before i put the Ultimate chip in it.
