Slight misfire

Before i have a good look at my supra has anyone got any ideas on this .

I have had a misfire sometimes at high revs 5k to 7k it does not do it all the time ,lets say out of 10 times i drive it ill get it once , its not boost/ fuel cut as i have the boost controller set at 1 bar but if i set it to my 1.2 bar setting it real does not like that , when you start the car from cold it holds back to just untill you have been driving it a minute or so . Im think plugs or coil plugs as i have read they are commen problems , Any help would be great .

Ive just fixed mine after mine was missfireing under load around the same revs as yours! after changing the leads, dizzy cap , rotor arm, plugs and gaps. it turned out it was the coil. mine is NA-T tho and it didnt do it before i turbod it so it was just starting to brake down under boost! i can see by the pic yours is the tt but hopfully this might help a little ;-)

If it's intermittent then the most likely cause is the coil pack connectors, they become brittle and break over time from the engine heat. See refurb guide HERE

 

Could also be worn/wrong heat range spark plugs, but these would usually cause a constant misfire.

Thank you all for your input , At least by the sounds of it i was on the right lines with the plugs for the coil pack connectors . When i get 5 ill have a good look and get this sorted . Rich.
