so a few months ago my car broke down on me and it turned out to be a dead coil pack after a bit of searching
however since then I've been unable to rev it over 4500 rpm without it missing and then backfiring out the exhaust when it comes down from that rpm range
i had it good for about a week with having put another DFI module in it however it is now back to doing it with no change after replacing the DFI module again
so far since the problem started I've had the heads off and installed new stem seals, valve springs, valve spring retainers & valve locks
I've also replaced the crank angle sensor, fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs with iridium spark plugs, spark plug leads and put injector cleaner into the fuel and done a few hundred k's
I'm wondering if anyone has come across this problem before or heard anything or has any ideas as to what it might be
the motor also has 1.98-1 rockers, cold air intake, bored out throttle body, 12mm plenum spacer, 25mm manifold insulator, 2.5 inch exhaust with extractors, performance coils & a retuned ecu to suit
the valve springs fitted were 105# springs
