misfire and questions

[chel]

I have a 98 eclipse with a 6 bolt swap. I just installed a new clutch fork on my car yesterday... brought it for a drive put around 150 miles on it, drove great. five min before i got home my CEL. light came on and instantly after the car started to sputter really bad on acceleration, idle was ok could also get through a couple of gears with out a problem but would not be long before it stared to miss again. I rain the code and got misfire detected in cyl. #2, pulled the plug on #2 and looks new with out any kind of carbon. The wires were just replaced only have 150miles on them. I don't know any previous history on this car I just bought it a while ago had a constant misfire on cyl 3 found one of the wires clamped down grounding its self to the head, and the clutch fork broke on the ride home good luck hey. I don't know if this misfire has anything to do with the 6 bolt swap or if its a part failing. I don't think its the coils as then i would have two cyl. misfiring, Whats the deal with the green top and black top CAS. If its color my cas is all aluminum. I have a oem computer with greddy blue management.

What is this Greddy management able to do, i don't have any software for it and would not mind fooling around with it.

Misfire is normal on a 6 bolt 2g. It's because you are now using a 1g cam angle sensor to read both the cam and crank angles whereas the factory 2g engines have a separate cam and crank angle sensor. The only fix for this is dsmlink which allows you to turn off the feature that checks for misfires.

Search for "RANDOM MISFIRE" and you will see TONS AND TONS of threads on this.

I did read up on this a bit, and though maybe because i was getting a certain cyl misfire that it could not be because of the cam angle sensor. With the CAS. problem on the 6 bolt swap, are people actually getting a misfire or just throwing a coad because i am getting both car losses lots of power and bogges down. How much is dsm link? will I need a e-prom ecu or can i stick with my 98 ecu? Also if i go with a dsm chip from Jeff i could also fix this problem right?

Yes, it's the code plus you run on 3 cylinders until you clear the code. If you have a logger, you can clear the code evrytime but it can get annoying if you get it alot.

Dsmlink is 500 ish and you need a 95 eprom ecu.

I dont know of any chips which offer that feature but im not 100% sure.
