It sounds to me like a trigger problem...that's really all that's left...so either a wiring harness issue or the trigger wheel or the sensor ? ? ?

 

That's my take also, trigger wheel is fine. I've swapped out the sensor also...haven't checked wiring though. I am gonna try the spacing thing you were talking about though and then go back in to the dealer and have them give me new plugs and coils to see if it fixes it.

 

Does it do it at a consistent RPM?? or all over the place??

 

Where can I get the BHR version?

 

It misses throughout the entire RPM range...can hear it at idle don't really feel it at WOT. I just dyno'd the car too, and looking at the graph you can't really tell either except toward the high RPM's, but I think that's more of the rev limiter than anything else...it has a very smooth curve but as soon as you hook up the datalogger it is unmistakable. The last time I brought it in, it had 97 misfires in the rear rotor and about half as much in the front as soon we started it up and let in run a couple minutes. The misses keep climbing too...swapped plugs and coil and it missed on occasion but barely made it thru the test drive before it started missing like before. Here's the dyno graph...

Ray is good people, he'll hook you up!

 

Thanks I8U, btw I went to the dealer today with the district manger and after an hour of test driving i got the same crap you got NO HELP AT ALL. Oh well I’ll eventually figure this out. When you get the new coils let me know how they are?

 

Hey man, don't give up. There are a few of us that are interested in what's going on we'll get it sooner or later. Make sure once you start noticing the misfires take the car back in and make the dealer replace your plugs and coils under part warranty, you ain't gotta pay for nothing.
