multiple cyl misfire only with meth!

marconi118 · 06-16-2015, 05:24 AM

Running a mild 15PSI wedge pumpflash with 9deg timing.

Here in europe premium pump fuel seems to be crap as I have consistent timing drops from 8 to 5 deg starting at 4000rpm

Si I decided to go meth, 50/50 with water. Drops are becoming less when I increase the flow.

But then I have multiple cyl (randomly 1 2 3 5) misfires at 5500rpm. If I increase further the flow the rpm decrease.

I am sure the flow isn't too much, running snow perf N54 dedicated kit.

Is it due to worn plugs?
I am FBO, 80Kmiles, status of plugs unknown, coming from previous owner

Could be plugs or it could be from too much water and/or not enough timing. Why did you do a meth kit before plugs? SMH
