veedubnutz 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Alright guys, got a bit of a misfire problem with my mk2 late obd1 vr6 conversion!Ok, over christmas, we changed the timing chains on the car and redid all the guides and headgasket and seals etc. Was very chuffed that it ran especially as we had previously rewired the car etc too. Since not long after then, the car has had a misfire.... it only seems to occur when the car is warm. When its cold, it pulls like an absolute train!! It feels like its running on 4 or 5 when it gets to around 75 degrees oil temp. I have noticed a small amount of mayo on the filler, and I do mean small, but I discounted the head gasket as a) we did it at xmas and it doesnt misfire all the time. The car also has quite an oil leak from somewhere, which I cant work out... but Im not sure its related. I have also noticed that the car sometimes does not want to start, it make two or three attemps and sometime you need to give it a dab of throttle? Related or not, im not sure. It was suggested to me that it could be the coilpack, so I picked up a second hand one, just for testing really but alas still the same thing.So, any ideas? Its bloody annoying having a car which absolutely flies when cool, but dies when warm!! Link to post Share on other sites
