Help needed !!! Misfire top end on hard acceleration in every gear .. Well annoying !!

Featured Replies

Hi there I'm new to this page .. 

I have a Subaru Impreza wrx Classic 1997 import .. 

Theres misfire on top end on hard acceleration .. In every gear .. 

Changed fuel filter .. 

Took out the old spark plugs ( platinum laser pfr6b) and put in the ngk iridium plugs .. 

This made it a bit worser .as I've get a bit of misfire on idle and whilst driving in low revs low gear jerking .. 

Changed the coil pack with my mate from his car to mine still no luck .. 

Today I changed the fuel pump with a brand new one but still no luck .. :( 

any suggestions ?another mechanic suggested I take out the ngk iridium spark plugs and put a brand new set of laser platinum pfr6b that should make a difference hopefully fingers crossed which I will do tomorrow .. 

Can anyone help ? Any suggestions would be good thanx for reading  regards Shazad .. :)

Hi scoobyghost what's the diffrence between pfr6b and pfr7b? Please 


Guys, there are 2 threads running on this.  Might want to keep everything in just the one to save cross over.

Indeed. I answered this one before the other was created. 7b are better suited to modified cars.

I had similar on mine, it was a kinked fuel pipe at the end of the fuel rail

 

also, how much fuel is in your tank?

Il have a look at fuel pipe tomorrow

Problem solved ;) 

thanx guys 

changed the spark plugs to laser platinum pfr6b and changed the ht leads to some genuine ones .. Cars running spot on fingers crossed :) 


I had a simular problem in my CRX.. Had a misfire for months, Couldn't boost over 11psi and could'nt rev past 6k.. Changed everything (almost) New coils, closed plug gaps, warmer grade plugs colder plugs, Data logging ect.

 

Then borrowed a set of HT leads and it cured it :blush: Rev to 8.5k and boosting to 16psi... I felt pretty stupid after all that lol

 

Glad yours is fixed :cool:
