Alright, see if you can figure this out.. g16b (g13bb head) EFI sierra. I've got a flat spot between 2000 - 3500rpm that's crazily intermittent. Sometimes the flat spot stretches out to 4000rpm as well, then it's like i've got a turbo that went on boost and have all my power back again. The only correlation i have, is that the zuk will idle super low, sometimes stalling when the flat spot is 'active'. So i can pull up at a set of lights and notice the idle is hunting around 400rpm, then when i take off i've got about half the power i'd normally have, until i pass 3500rpm when it surges away until the next gear change. I can then stop at the next lights and it's idling totally normally, and accelerates perfectly fine. I can't replicate the issue on command, it's just far too unpredictable. Things to note: - Recently replaced IAC - We've had more humid weather of late (and rain) - It's worse when the engine is cold, but still happens when it's warm My guess is potentially a failing (arcing) lead or faulty coil pack - but at no point does it sound like i've lost a cylinder (though the power loss is equivalent to missing one or two!). Thoughts??? |

Interesting that you say that. If one coilpack goes down you lose two cylinders with the g13bb setup. |

Check the coils, plugs and leads. I had a coil pack with a dodgy plug. It'd occasionally arc out and run lumpy/poorly, usually at idle and/or under load, cruising was fine. Was a tiny little crack in the rubber plug. |

Have checked everything is plugged in and nothing looks visually broken or corroded. It does coincide with just having new spark plugs put in now that i think of it, so maybe one of the leads has been stretched / cracked / damaged being pulled out to do the plugs? This looks like a go-er: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NGK-IGNITION ... SwTapV3Una and: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Set-of-2 ... 583575aaa9 Gets me all new coil packs and leads for under $100. |

I would stick with genuine suzuki coils to be safe. |

mmm the cost of genuine really puts me off... i'll have a crack at aftermarket and see how it goes i suppose. |

Aftermarket coilpacks are poo ive been down that road before they lasted 45mins and started to break down. My money on throttlebody/tps possible even cam sensor or could it be your fuel pump on the brink of death/shit floating in the tank |

I've kept my old genuine ones just in case =) Cam/TP sensor seems possible. Fuel pump is only about 6 months old and i've got 2 filters so unlikely to be that. I'm just gonna dump it as Suzistore on Sat and make it their problem to diagnose & fix... lol, i'm over it. |

Haha i reckon actual throttle body and tps they can do all sorts of weid intermittent stuff, do they have a new mech at suzistore or still mr 457 |

Both - new guy who's swift specific but sorta kinda translates across, and still jake. |

SO my issues are resolved... combination of injectors and water temp sensor was the solution. Also a vernier gear used to adjust the timing back given the head's been shaved and timing was at around 20 degrees! |
