Weird missfire problem after power upgrade
when your car misfires at WOT. does it make a muffled popcorn popping sound? I have been fighting a problem that I think is missfiring not Knock. I have heard knock and it was much louder of a sound. my durametric does not show misfiring counts though. I changed my spark plugs but did not regap them. and the problem lessoned some. However this misfiring is not something I Feel. I really just hear it and it's only in above 1.0 bar mostly if the engine is colder and the waterinjection is on. do you hear your misfire or just feel it?
For some reason durametric won't record missfires under wot. My missfire count wouldn't change during the missfire.. Its very strange that it does that.
Make sure your meth is spraying properly. If its just dripping/dribbleing it can cause a bad missfire.
So to answer your question in short; You can hear missfire as a loud popping, and feel missfire as a very jerky hesitation.
OK a few days ago I had a boost solenoid hose pop off and the car made about 1.8 bar for a moment. in that moment the car also made a loud machine gun type sound. I assumed that was knock. I have heard "ping" when I run low octane in my old truck. but I don't know how to correctly identify "knock" unless this sound i'm hearing is it. my tuner believes it is not knock and pointed me to spark plugs and misfire. I changed the plugs but the problem has not changed.
Unfortunately no one around where I live knows anything about these cars.
the noise I'm hearing on my car that has me bothered is just like popcorn in the microwave. I get a few pops per gear pull. only when the boost hits and only when the boost is above one bar. durametric sees no misfiring.

1.8bar for a moment is a spike. Don't worry about it. I've seen 1.6bar just pushing the clutch in.
