My95 wagon uk.
New coil packs, plugs, sensors (knock,crank,cam), full decat, Hks filter, uk300 intercooler modded to fit, boost set at 15psi max but after i've driven the car and its got warm and then stopped for some time, after setting off again it missfirers realy bad. After a couple of miles and some cool air has blown thro' it's ok again. Anyone any ideas what to do next or am i barking up the wrong tree?

MAF sensor ? They have temperature compensation on board, if this was faulty it may not give out the correct signal when warm, this would cause the wrong amount of fuel to be added...ie misfire.

Try and borrow one to try ? takes only a few mins to swap.

.......Just noticed HKS filter, you may already be running dangerously weak unless you have had a remap ?

I've got a air/fuel meter and it shows lean just before the turbo spools up but rich all the way through the rev range upto red line.

Maybe earthing problem when the engine is hot the metal expands and as it cools again the contact is not as good.
