live2themaxuk Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hey all car has been great so far since Jan, but within the space of a month i have had this occur twice. I have been driving resonably sportingly, nothing heavy footed, then i may come to a stop and the car will be misfiring. I will feel it and my car will sound like a Subaru , lol. I will drive off like this and after about 10-15 secs it will clear itself and be fine again. . . . ummm Its odd, i didnt seem to exprience this problem when i was in the UK, probably just co-incidence but the fuel in Guernsey isnt quite the same as in the UK. AFAIK we only have 97ron max, if that could make a diff. Oddly there is NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT either, would there be a fault code log if it though? Any ideas?

Tere Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If it's actually a misfire, you will get a 3xx code (00 is random; 0x is cylinder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
live2themaxuk Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi guys thanks for the reply. So i will get a code , but not nessacarily an engine check light? Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tere Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Any 3xx code with give you the light. Normally, a little transient misfire due to a little engine hiccup is not a problem. Just clear the code which clears the light. If you keep getting the misfire code, then investigate further. Connections, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tere Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 No light and no code would mean no real misfire. It may be a condition where the fuel cuts out and you get a little lurch from the car. This would happen most frequently when slowing down with high rpms and throttle pedal position zero (fully released). In this case, the fuel cuts out until the rpms drop down or the clutch is depressed. No code is thrown and no light -- it's considered "normal" operation.

live2themaxuk Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Umm wel it defo sounds and feels 'misfirey'. I can accelerate and drive just shakes more and sounds like a boxer engine for about 10-15 seconds, but it has ONLY happened like you mentioned after coming to a stop usually after a spirited drive. So it the symptoms fir that description i guess ill take that. Saying that though, if i had a faulty coil pack that can be intermittant also. My mates R34 (corrected) GTT had one and one minute it was fine, the next, not so fine. Until mine starts happening more frequently, if i does, it would be hard to diagnose. May still change the spark plugs though. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 What’s an R35 GTT? If you are referring to the 34 I know that miss fires are the norm depending on modifications to the car and in most cases are actually remedied by re-installing the stock air box.
