Default Anyone can help please

Hello friends



The horsing power of my car dropped from 720 hp to 300hp. I have a misfire i changed the coil and wire from msd And i got a new spark plugs with gap.

After, the scanner showed that the oxygeen sensor needed to be replaced so I changed it too.

I have put my car in dyno, there was no misfire seen in the dyno



But the sound of the exhaust while I drive my car is still showing that there is misfire in my car and no power.

Ps:

The afr is 11 or 11.5

My engine sound is good

my car has not shown any alert check engine on the dashboard

Is the car a C7?

MSDs are usually on older cars.

Ahso! You replaced the coils with MSDs. Do you still have the stock coils? If yes, then I'd put them back on to see if the issue is the coils.

IF you have that large a loss of HP, I'd think you'd get a CEL for engine miss.

The heavy tech guys will help on this.

Some told me that the High pressure fuel pump needs to be replaced. Does anyone know anything about this?

I don't know about the fuel-pump, but I can second swapping-in the stock coils. Over the years I've had problems with a number of aftermarket ignition parts on several high-performance applications, and found going back to OEM solved the problem... every time. Very aggravating and disappointing, I might add. All the best, in any event.

This is not always the case. I had MSD coils on a past Corvette that were causing misfire problems. The car idled fine but when under load, 2 of the MSD coils were causing a misfire.

If you have access to a set of stock coils, I would swap those in, and see if the problem goes away.

Just because you have a code for an O2 sensor does not mean the sensor is bad. It could just as easily be a bad connection, a bad wire, could be in the canbus system. Same goes for the misfire. If the engine has been out and the wiring messed with, this could likely be your problem. You need someone who knows how to read a PICO scope and chase electrical gremlins, not a code reader.
