dc2r spluttering????

[lsvtec]

one of my mates has got a type r and everytime he gives it, the car splutters???

Whats this probelm???

[Lukey]

spark issue perhaps?

[tuanEH?]

water around the spark plugs? maybe in the throttle body? similar things have happened to my cars and those were the cause of the problems..

[vtecing]

pull the leads out and check for a pin hole that could be arcing spark

[grifty]

pull out the spark plugs and check them

[lsvtec]

lol i will tell him to check

[lsvtec]

bump!!

[lsvtec]

hey guys my friend just changed his spark plugs and it is still spluttering

what else could be the problem?

[lsvtec]

ohh yeah and its jap spec not aus spec

[Lukey]

is it misfiring or just spluttering and struggling?

perhaps it could be a fuel issue? what sorta fuel does he use?

[lsvtec]

spluttering and struggling, 98 fuel only

[grifty]

could possibly be that the fuel filter is blocked which would cause a lack of fuel reaching the engine, try changing that and see how it goes.

[lsvtec]

yeah probably do it tomorow, thanks

[lsvtec]

just to add, my eg5 with jdm b18c is having the same prob, i also changes plugs but no good, i'll also changed fuel filter and see

[Alexplicit]

do a general service on it. cant hurt

fuel filter. check fuel lines from tank to plenum. sometimes there can be more than one.

sensors. have a look around the engine bay and make sure all plugs and looms are firmly locked into each other and wires are intact and not oil fouled.

spark plugs. i suggest only ever using platinum bosche plugs. they are worth the extra money! they last longer and noticible increase in performance and fuel economy

Spark plug leads. over time they will fail, causing what your describing. replace them with either standard or larger ones or if pockets are deep enough go with spoon spark plug leads :)

just a quick question. is the car spluttering throughout the entire rev range? only when going up hill? hard revving? doing it in neutral?

[lsvtec]

only through mid range

[Zilli]

could be a distributor issue

[lsvtec]

when i got my half cut from the jap import place, they had to change distributor, so i think thats the problem,

its probably the timing or something.

[Lukey]

i dislike bosche plugs, i find ngk much better

[lsvtec]

guys, ive decided that im going to change dizzy and leads.

[Lukey]

let us know the results champ.

[lsvtec]

still looking for parts, so hard to find

[lsvtec]

update yo

[lsvtec]

after a long wait i finally recieved my dizzy, i installed it and FARK same problem with the spluttering.

im going to change the leads tommorow and see how it goes.

[moey]

hey mate let me know how you go with your problem i have same sort of spluttering problem and going for leads next ,but spark plugs would have to be ryt after as well

[Super-DA9]

Got any vacuum leaks? Clogged Injectors? Just brainstorming here. Otherwise It really does sound like an ignition issue. Is the timing set right?

Good luck!

[lsvtec]

just went and bought new leads today and that fixed the problem :)

[moey]

so has the spluttering thru the whole 3000 and up gone?nice easy fix lol

[lsvtec]

yeah all gone, car is very smooth now... my old leads were splitfire 8.8mm and i dont know how they gave up LOL anywayz just $150 for new ones

[lsvtec]

put some iridium spark plugs aswell
