If it's not showing electrical faults or storing history codes relating to faults maybe you need to start looking for a mechanical issue. Could be valve spring/s, although you would think this would show up down low also.

Yeah mine does it regardless of the tune. As far as I'm aware my tuner has tried almost factory tunes just with the right injector scaling and still does it.

The car is an auto 4 speed which has been rebuilt and refreshed.

No fault codes or anything but my tuner believes its probably electrical as it's happening across the range of cylinders, it's not just one cylinder missing.

I'm sure its some kind of sensor playing up.

If anyone has any ideas let me know. I'll keep yous posted.

my car also has a similar problem ive tried sparkplugs coils and oxygen sensor, although I usually get coil fault codes.my electrician suggested that I remove the solenoids for the variable cam timing and clean them.they can get gummed up and not seal propperly allowing the cam timing to wander under about 2500rpm which can cause a missfire

Check to see if the actuator pipe hasn't slipped off

thanks guys.

still no f**ken news....

it's getting beyond a joke. It's a shame my tuner is such a good bloke and has done such a good job on my car in the past. Otherwise I would have gone elsewhere.

im no mechanic but how hard is it to diagnose problems like these? surely if you have a dyno and all the right equipment it wouldnt take more than a couple of days.

I really need the car back on the road, so where would everyone draw the line and go elsewhere to get it sorted?

What boost is it hitting ? Not asking what boost is tuned in, but what is it accually hitting on road when its fully loaded up?

Even on the stock tune it will boost up and over 1 bar with the IC system you have
