Car missing at WOT Tonight I was running a friend of mine from a roll on my way home. I was in first gear at about 3000 RPM for about 10 seconds then floored it. It seemed as though the traction control was on, but I don't even have that option. Also seemed like it could be a misfire. Changed plugs and wires not 1,000 miles ago from a previous miss I had. Put TR55's in and Taylor wires. Gapped at .059. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Car missing at WOT Big gap is harder to fire across at high cylinder
pressures. A weak flame kernel will burn worse /
slower and maybe this is the problem. Try and
push the gap down a little and see it it fixes
things (like .045 - .050). Better to have a
shorter gap that fires reliably.

Re: Car missing at WOT I'll try to push the gap in a little more to see if it helps.
I guess we're both having problems Raf. That was good run the other night regardless.

Re: Car missing at WOT HumpinSS, what was the problem with your car and how did yopu remove the gas pedal slack. Saw it in your sig, so thought I'd ask.

Re: Car missing at WOT I had somewhat a problem where I punch it and it seemed to gasp for air for a few seconds and then take off but I posted it they told me to clean my MAF and that work no more problems. If this will help!!!

Re: Car missing at WOT My car did this after a plug and wire change but just every now and then. Even A-taped it and didnt catch any missfires at teh time. turned out that I didnt get the #8 plug wire back on all the way tight. Might be something as simple as that.
