I have a slight problem with my GTST and I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I went to move it a couple of weeks ago, started fine, then after about 10 seconds started to misfire, I've been running it really low on fuel as it's been off the road for a year so couldn't go and fill it up. I put a gallon of fuel in, started it and it was fine.
Then a few days later I took it out for a road test and after a mile or so it started misfiring, then cleared.
I took it to Abbey Motorsport a couple of weeks ago, it was fine on the motorway, but everytime we slowed down it would misfire, then when we were driving through Bristol it would mis at every set of traffic lights and when we were driving very slow.
I checked the plugs and changed them as they seemed bunrt and teh gap was about 40thou. I left it ticking over for a while and it seemed fine.
Just bought it home tonight and it was fine for about 6 miles, filled up with fuel, the it started missing as I came off a roundabout, then for about a mile till I was on the motorway, was fine on the motorway then as soon as I came up the sliproad and stopped it started missing again.
Dan at Abbey suggested it may be spark plugs, coilpacks or the ignitor module, I've put a different set of plugs in, (though they weren't new), and it's behaving exactly the same, so I don't think it's them.
I'm gonna try swapping the coilpacks for the GTR ones tomorrow, might also change the fuel filter incase that got blocked.
Any more suggestions?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as many facts as possible.
Thanks
