4.8 Missfire and power lack

Post by IR_Eddie »

4.8 GRX feels like its misfiring and lacks power (can’t get past 100km/h)

This happens every now and then and not constant. Started after a service at Nissan but after taking it back twice no improvement.

I’ll take it to a specialist But was wondering what the issue might be.

Got it back from Frans this afternoon. Petrol pump replaced. Feels like a new machine.
Thanks Frans!
