misfire after engine running fine for 20 min
Okay guys, ive done a good search of the site for a similar issue and couldn't come up with anything.
A little about my car 04 rx8 gt at I run premix new engine with less than 3k on it new coils, wires, and plugs i gutted the cat, (mistake) the check engine light comes on every 50 miles or so for oxygen sensor slow response and lean condition. tried the anti fouler, no luck So my main issue: I can crank the car let it warm up and it will run fine and redline well for a few miles, after that it starts to hesitate and random rpm ranges and I get a backfire sound coming from the exhaust. I checked my battery last night and it's leaking acid and reads bad on my load tester so im headed to get one now. I'm also going to get a spark tester to check the coils. One last thing, all this happened one day when i accidently filled the car with 87 octane fuel, i was in a hurry to get to the heliport to fly out... since then i have pumped all the fuel out, put that fuel in my boat, and refilled the car with 93 octane. I always use 93 octane fuel. My course of action is as follows> Replace battery check coils and wires for fire Change plugs. Fuel pump? If there is anything anyone can come up with that might be a possible cause, your help will be much appreciated. |
It isn't the 87 octane gas ;) I ran 87 in mine whe it was NA and had no problems at all. A tank of bad gas could do it though....water or dirt...
could be the fuel pump....could be a lot of things Do you have a code reader, CHECKING THE CODES SHOULD BE THE FIRST PLACE TO START Problem with no CAT is you always have a CEL so you won`t know if you have something new going on |

There will be lots of backfires and pops with no CAT. That is normal.

Fuel pressure adapter goes at the connector near the dipstick. Need a special adapter tbough

Put a new battery in today, Ran fine for about 20 miles or so, started to hesitate and wouldnt go beyond 5k rpm. I had my scanner plugged in, it had codes p0171 bank 1 system to lean, and p0139 oxy sensor slow response. I'm beginning to lean more towards a fuel delivery issue. I'm going to test the pump in the morning, otherwise if thats not it im having it towed to the dealer.
Any suggestions? |
Nope ..
New O2 sensor ... it's my bet Maybe exhaust leak or vacuum leak |

You will have to start somewhere and check everything. No specific codes means you dont have as much as a starting point.

sounds like the fuel pump to me, typical failure mode is for it to start out OK cold then go off as it gets hot
BUT you need an inline pressure gauge to verify this so don't just swap it out blindly same thing can happen to fuel injectors |

Checked for exuast leaks today. the o2 sensor was loose and so were the anti foulers. Removed the antifoulers put anti seize on the o2 and reinstalled. still no luck. going to order the bhr fuel pump upgrade tonight.

I cant get the proper connections to test the pump so i just used a hose clamp to the fuel line and the pressure guage and put constant power to the pump. it read close to 60psi, i let it run for about ten minutes and bleed it off a few times into a bottle and it dropped but cam right back to 60psi.... i did notice an inconsistant sound coming from the pump, kinda like a bad bearing or something, my mechanic told me it was the maf sensor today, replaced it and still no luck.... could i have a fouled plug? will a fouled pluf run good until it heats up and then not fire?

Okay, with a closer look, i have noticed hissing or leaking air type sound coming from under the intake, while the engine is running. i guess its the vacuum chamber. I didnt have a vacuum tester at the time so i pulled the line off the air solenoid valve and blew on it and heard a leak under the intake. any thoughts?

I noticed today when reving the engine the vdi opens but the ssv does not. at what rpm will the ssv open?
|
SSV = ~3250rpm
APV = ~6250rpm Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...............but don't think I am. |
