cleaned "dust" of the end of the "lead" seemed a bit better but miss was still there. drove home from holiday (200km) - miss got worse and worse until nearly undriveable - ok at motorway speeds, but idle in traffic it was having major heart attacks....ok at part throttle. its hard driving a turbo and not overtaking Scan had "Run lean" no other faults :( . Scan test showed no faults even though it was missing when the scanner was checking all the stuff it can check (idle circuits and stuff). Neighbour got me new coil (NZD80). Replace #2 coil pack as suspected - running sweet as. Neighbour also mentioned another client of his had similar issue - he tried 1 new pack on all 6 cylinders and could not fix. another garage replaced all 6 and problem gone - so 2 can fail at once it seems. Compared plugs from 1 and 2 - looked the same. have fun -

only on 18s, but my 02c - agree with you mostly Spoony Nitto Invo (260 treadwear) - just new 1000km - love them - Great wet and dry grip both launching and cornering. - Really quiet - Price - $1200 from Hyper Drive (NZD) Achilles ATR Sport 2 (400 treadwear) - Good dry grip and the wet is not bad, - Great bang for buck tyre. - Noise bad when half worn - so bad its annoying - Mileage is up around 30,000 - wore out shoulder and tyre founation showed through. approx 4mm remaining. - $1000 Performance tyres (auckland) - wet grip all gone when 4mm left - they got so bad they were dangerous on standard xr6t. so maybe 40000 but I was too scared to try...

my neighbour has the scan tool - and its sposed to tell us what clyinder is missing - it feels like only 1 is going off - man it feels sick when it does. Its not good for cat engine drive train etc to drive them while missing, so I'm limping along for the next day until I get home to sort the issue. I have just rebuilt the turbo and it was going so well - oh well...I pulled all the coils to have a look - and spotted the 1 in the photo that looks suspicious. no plug spanner to pull plugs and see if anything else is wierd... keen if anyone has seen this before and can tell me if its coil or plug or water or whatever??? ta

BA 2003 xr6t 271000km I have a miss under load - looking at other posts it sounds like coil pack or spark plug issue. Only 1 cylinder seems to be affected. About to scan to locate cylinder that's missing and then replace coil/plug. BUT, I had a look at the plug connectors and found one is discoloured - see photo. Has anyone seen this? Thanks..
