Alright. Last night I fitted my bigger supercharger pulley (160mm) since then the car has ran fine. Until today I changed into 2nd at a junction. Didn't put the engine under strain or anything and it started misfiring. After using a obd reader it was cylinder 1&5. After removing the coil packs and swapping then with different cylinders I got errors on cylinders 2&4 which indicates 2 failed coil packs.

So is it due to age and mileage (12years & 135000miles) or due to the bigger pulley. But how come both would go at once??

My IS200 did the same when I fitted my charger. It had 130,000 miles on the car and blew out two coil packs on the first outing. Probably just age as I would imagine they are probably the ones from new.

I don't know why they go down 2 at once, just always seem to.

But 1&5 are the same firing cylinders, maybe that has something to it?

Well now I've swapped the coilpacks it's 2&4 that are missing. Do they run together? Well I've managed to find someone with some locally so I will be get some new ones tomorrow. Might get 4 off him just incase!

Slightly off topic, but what engine management are you using with the 160mm pulley? Standard and FCD or Emanage etc?

At the minute I'm running Patrick's fuel cut defender. I have an emanage. But can't be bothered to do load of soldering!

does it run alright with Patricks black box? have your upgraded the injectors?

Reason I ask, is I have Patricks black box and 1JZZ injector which is running fines, and a 160mm pulley waiting to be fitted.
