wait! im sorry for going off track here but you were practicing brake boosting? whats there to practice?
:banghead: foot on brake and foot on gas then let go of brake.......whats there to practice?
 
i see you have a A/F gauge. is it a wideband or a crappy narrow :)pray: i hope not). if you do have a wideband see what your A/F is. if its off it could be due to a fuel issue. also is there any way you could get maybe a friend who has a logging device and get a log of what your car is doing?
 
A misfire is most commonly caused by a spark issue such as a bad spark plug or plug wires. Change your plugs and wires if you haven't done so lately. I change mine once per year.
 
could the misfire be caused by the battery cause my battery dosent have the braking and i was thinking could the battery moved and cause an arch causing my rpm gauge to spind around all crazy and the misfire ?
 
no
but i have another question for some reason my car stayed on while on gear without pressing the clutch
it has a brand excedy 3 puck clutch and recently changed the master and slave cylinder
what could cause that ?

could hte clutch have some grease and cause that to happen
