Check for arcing in the wires especially around the coil.

Is it a continuous miss like a rev limiter or missing here and there above 5k? Could be Opti or maybe coil. How old are the plugs?

Are the wires snapped snug on all the plugs and on the opti terminals? Are the wires touching anything hot? Did you gap them properly? Maybe you broke a plug and you didn't know it?

I'd double check all of that, even double check the plugs too to rule out all of that. It took me a couple hours to route all my new wires away from anything hot. Then I'd look at the coil and ICM.

No offense your talking in slang, but did you say you replaced the cap in the opti?

If it's smooth and starts missing at those rpm levels I would suspect the rotor screws in the opti are coming loose. I had that same problem, opened up the opti and found this:



BTW... it's rpm. Not rpms.

I'm sorry guys for talking slang lol!!! But first build and little upsetting win stuff doesn't go rite no wat I mean lol!! Yes its smooth all the way up too 5000 (rpm) lol!!! And it starts banging and popping all the the way up to 6000 ( rpm) !! It just after 5000 win it does all this mess? And yes I changed the cap,button its not that old but ill check all the plug wires and plugs and the rest of the goodies tonite before race Saturday if u guys have nething else to add would be great thanks!!!

Oh and yes win u get over 5000 or bout there its like a rev limiter going to 6000 then goes back down and starts all over again lol

whell win u changed da button did u lock da skrewz in place whit lok tite? and wat da hEck is a button?

speedZ28

Bug. Button u no wat I meant! Yes they were lock tited! Lol

speedZ28

So ok I triple check the wires and replaced the rotary bug and cap and mad Damn sure thay were all snaped on correctely!!! I just put new plugs in and didn't run them but maybe 10 miles after my motor build !! So i guess the nexted step is to buy new plugs and have icm and coil checked rite or am I missing something? Would a vacuum leak cause a miss over 5000 rpm now since I change all the stuff out its a hit and miss now between 1st and 2nd does it maybe once or twice win trany shifts between 2nd and 3rd that's win it really starts doin it if u guys have nemore suggestions let me no thanks!!!

speedZ28
