Looking back at the service history they have never been changed. Car has 22000 miles on the clock and was completely standard when when I brought it.
However I have had revo stage1 for approx 7 months so i'm guessing new plugs are over due...

Yeah a change of plugs would be first point of call.

Lets hope it is the plugs and nothing else to worry about. It has been mentioned it could be an injector but lets not go down that route yet  :scared:

Doubt its the injector. A remap really does show up weak plugs. Mine ran like crap on old plugs, hesitation and misfiring.

Did you change your plugs straight after your remap?

I tried plugs 1st and would recommend you do too.

It's seems quite rare to get a duff injector but it turned out to be my gremlin

On an 08 plate and with just 22000 ish miles I would like to think a duff injector was'nt the issue , so a new plug change tommorrow will hopefully sort it.
 After the plug change Ill go for a good old thrash and then let JKM log it to see if it has corrected the fault...

No... but i started to experience problems which was noted on a RR session at R-Tech. On one test my car was 10bhp down across the rev range, an could be felt on the road too, sometimes it felt really flat. Since changing plugs its been spot on.

superb day and awesome to meet you guys  :happy2:

some very nice cars on display and enjoyed the convoy there and back  :driver:

bit of a disappointing dyno pull from mine, seems i still had the map sensor issue - got back home, fixed it up and made 350, a little bit of playing with the revo settings got me back to the 397 i was expecting.

still - i guess that's what happens when you rush to get a car ready for a meet haha... i should be wiser by now  :laugh:

look forward to the next meet  :happy2:

....Good to meet you, stanton  :drinking:

Very funny that meeting you first in your low slung car, also sat low, I thought you were a 'short arse' person and was very surprised how tall you are when you got out!

Awesome car - Looked very aggressive on the road in convoy and clearly super fast!

I'll deffo be organising another Dyno-Day @ JKM this year.

Good to meet you on Saturday  :happy2:

I had the same thing at the last RR day - scored 278 ish and mis-firing higher up the rev range and the CEL light came on. I went home, scanned with VCDS and guess what....cylinder 3 misfire. A change of plugs and #3 coilpack to be certain a few weeks ago and the return visit on Saturday and all was back to normal.

Despite the recommendation of changing plugs every 40k, I am certain that they do not last this long reliably on my car. I also had the iridium plugs on before and got 20-something k out of them only.

Was good to meet you to mate  :happy2:
It seems that a plug change every 20000 miles is a good bet , especialy after a remap.
