Huh?
What mods have you done to the motor?
There should be no reason to add timing to get rid of a misfire this side of 600hp!
What you have done just might be a bandaid solution to a underlining problem.

wieredest thing???? i've had respectable tuners tell me to back off the timing but when i do, the car starts carrying on again??? i advance it and it feels crispy and revvi? the AF mixtures were around 12:1 before i touched anything and i've left the A/F ratio's alone...
so...(i dont know much about timing)... if im leaning the car off, should i be backing out timing...???

You shouldnt be playing with this kinda stuff if you dont know what it effects.
Even thought its a tough 1JZ, youll still kill it pretty quickly if you set up fuel/timing wrong.
Either take it to a good dyno tuner, or do some more reading about fuel ratios, timing, etc.

I have a question
My car used to run on 5 cylinders all the time and it was found to be a clogged injector but my mates jzz30 soarer (just got a big FMIC and 3" exhaust if that helps) makes a popping sound out the exhaust at anything above 5000rpm? Is this a misfire? The car is dead stock except the intercooler, exhaust and an air filter. I didn't think it would backfire with a stock setup so does this sound like a misfire? If so, why would it only do it in the upper rev range? A coil pack dying? I don't know. If anyone knows, please tell

Chris, get your mate to check his spark plugs.
Steer clear of platinums in a modded 1JZ.
Go for some NGK BKR6E plugs gapped to 0.8mm.

Chris popping out of the exhaust is usually because it is running lean.

thanks everyone, I will let him know.
His car is running 14psi (according to apexi electronic boost guage) and it doesn't even have twin pipes, just the 3" into twin 2.5" and the intercooler so that is close to boost cut but I thought the boost cut actually acted like when you hit the speed cut and cut power suddenly. Is this correct? I have never done it so I don't know.
Celicamad: I had my injector jump started but my mates car has never run on 5 cylinders before. It is quite possible that he is running those fancy Iridium plugs because he is the type of person that thinks that the more money you spend the better it is
Thanks again.

yeah thats how boost cut feels . iassumed that this wasnt his prob .but just wanted to be sure .
sorry didnt read ur post properly. i gues you just have to to check coil pack . why no fit a set of NGK plugs just to prove this isnt the prob at $3.50 per plug its worth it .
i understand the way your mate thinks . but tell him this regardless of the plug in about 30,000 they lose HEAPS of power . i change plugs every 5,000 klms . just do oil and plugs all at once
1js do some weird shit on plugs . its like the if in doubt thing on a 1j first change plugs then see what happens
