I think you needed every part you bought for the car. So, it's not a waste of money. I think you're going to be happier with the way the car is running now.

Good job mate👍. Judging by that carbon build up its sat for quite some time an may have had poor device history. Good to see you got it running so well. Just to top it off try using some liquid moly upper cylinder cleaner. Helps remove build up around valves and combustion chamber. I use it on all my cars every 20k.

lmao the no oil got me

[@david_cali_714a9]

My car started doing this the other day changed park plugs and oil change stoped for a bit now it’s back next thing on my list will be spark plug wires and fuel filter I hope my timing isn’t off crossing fingers 🤞🤞🤞

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

Aye at least you’re brand new throughout the engine.. Out a couple of bucks true but you do have your peace of mind

[@t4yjt]

Good video man!!

[@mushy18100]

Did it also have an exhaust leak in the B-pipe, mate?

[@djgreasec]

How did you fix the timing to your car?

[@vorrepetrykanov6313]

now if you turn on the AC still no misfire?

[@joemaggio6806]

Injector O rings disintegrated just like my B series

[@Gilbertify1]

This car looks crazy new! Wow, uploaded one year ago. Cheers man.

[@ericdettwiler5656]

Good job

[@leosainz6764]

Thanks for the video !

[@chrisandwillhobbies]

hey mate, are you saying your cam and crank were out of time or your ignition timing? i have the same deal, my car clears up with the ac on and is misfiring bad with it off, replaced the TB, ECT and o2 sensor so far, cheers

[@lloydshondabordello]

This sorta stuff tells me it's had a not so nice service report and it's 20 years old.

[@shameerawais]

My car has the same misfire issue with AC and without ac.

[@chenyuxie6233]

Great video mate. I've been fixing my b18c misfire for a long time. I ckecked all the fuel, ignition and timing they are all correct. I'm kinda out of ideas. If you know something, please reply to me. Thanks a lot.

[@user-rt2sm5ny5r]

had a similar issue where it struggled with ac on (bad compressor clutch symptom) and then bogged and backfired hard at partial throttle with ac on or off..

[@kadecross1805]

Put some new belts on it would you

[@chanuda4824]
