My car (94 GT4) is misfiring when in boost between about 11-14 psi, but only does it if its been driven for about half an hour. Works fine up to redline at 14psi for the first half an hour then the issue shows itself.

I did have a misfire happening in boost all the time, and discovered that the plastic on the rotor was cracked so I replaced the cap and rotor 2 weeks ago and thought I had rid myslef of this problem until I went on a nice highway run the other day and it started again. Since then i've tried it numerous times, it works perfect for the first half an hour and then all of a sudden, misfire. If you let the car sit for about an hour and go again, it will work fine for another 20 min or so, then start missing again. Kind of a weird issue I know, it seems something must be getting too hot.. Anyway, I'm going to change out the wires and put new plugs and order a fuel filter shortly but was wondering if anyone else had ever run into this issue before? Its quite a sharp misfire, definitly feels ignition related more than fuel, as my first thought was that maybe the fuel pump was getting hot after driving and was dropping off volume, but it feels too sharp to be a lack of fuel issue. No CEL codes either.

Thanks for reading smile.gif

plugs/wires should fix that. mine was misfiring because one of the wires had come loose a bit, but i couldnt see it under the intercooler. the spark was going from the wire to valve cover

heres hoping, i've got my doubts though. But hey, gotta eliminate the simple things first before I dig any deeper. I'll have to drive it to work one of these days and pull the intercooler off and change em. Ill post here if it made any difference or not tongue.gif . In the mean time, I've turned the boost down to 11 so I dont have to think about it haha.
