pies Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 The mighty ca18e is miss firing. at idle, cruising, hot, cold, when its first started, after its been running for a few hours. infact only time it isnt missing is when its under load/accelerating. any ideas?

thminiman Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 your engines completely fucked, id just replace it to save any messing around. Turbo would also fix any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 These coil pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 No. Single coil. Runs the Dual spark. As above dude, New engine FTW. Otherwise coil/dizzy/HT leads/spark plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pies Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 new engine on the way. but its a while away. so in the mean time would like to get this running nicer. anyone actually know what they are talking about or are these just stab in the dark comments?

84_S12 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 No. Single coil. Runs the Dual spark. As above dude, New engine FTW.Otherwise coil/dizzy/HT leads/spark plugs. Dual spark have 2 coils, so no.... Blocked fuel filter? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Checked plug gaps, distributor cap/rotor, lead resistance/continuity, timing (And automatic advance if it has it - the vacuum advance distributors can stick in one position which cause all manner of problems) , air filter, airflow meter. If you're going to replace plugs, only use NGK as the other brands tend to carbon foul very quickly in these engines for some reason. They also do a good oem lead replacement set for less than Nissan Genuine prices. Also, if you change the fuel filter (Should be done yearly on every engine - but never is) run an injector cleaner or 2 through the system with good fuel (95+) and go for a good motorway run. I have to do an italian tune up in the 12 because the head carbons up if I drive around town alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 ^^ jus get Allan to sort you the right ones on weekend. Repco will have all the right ones.

Kinda got do a few things to test what it isnt. the repco computer system is crap. half the listings arent right, and they dont even have al isting for a U910 bluebird. S12 is the closest they have. same engine. but still, if someone has used a certain plug with good results id rather hear from them what they were using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 True about the dual coil, same as Z-series then. Does it run one of those massive 8-point dizzy? They are very difficult/expensive to get your hands on. Get a CA20E dizzy and convert to single spark. Once again engine convert for the win.

pies Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 NGK boes, always. General rule, NGK for Japanese, Bosch for European, Champion for Lawnmowers. never use anything else. but a part number would be nice if someone had one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Go to supercheap and look in their catalogue yourself, even just look up car with same engine. Fuck, I slammed Iridiums from DASH motor into my stz, worked a charm, but it is a mitsy, mash together stz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
