Gday guys, cutting to the chase here, my car seems to have a few problems that come and go.
The first is that after driving for a while my check engine light comes on, it mainly happens when im driving at lowish revs, so im often changing down a gear and driving in a too high a rev range just so the light doesnt come on.(i have a 5speed).
The second problem seems to be a misfire when im above around 4000rpm, it happens when I'm accelerating with around half throttle or more, all boost pressure dies and it sounds like its misfireing. It doesn't happen all the time though, i may go a few days or a week with full power then it will return.
I'm going to change sparkplugs and check coilpacks tomorrow does anyone else have any ideas what could be causing my problems ?? I am quite worried.
P.S i tried searching the forum but couldnt come upon anything.

had that misfiring too. get some second hand coilpacks to see if it fixes it. then i would be checking the ignitor, if it still happens, it probably be a fuelling issue.
no idea about the engine light. checked the oil level recently?

bkr6e-IX dont bother with iridiums, just get your self some bkr6e and gap them to .8 to you only got standard mods and low boost, if you got high boost, gap too .75mm cheers, dont bother with iridiums they just a waste of money..

Araldite super strength solved all my coil issues. Takes 3 days to get to max strength apparently, but has higher temperature resistance than the 5min stuff. Mine had cracks down shaft, under the rubbers and around the mounts too.
