Re: BluBallz - Sabre's 2004 STI
She's up and running.... but not running well. I think that I have a cylinder misfire. Was going to try to figure out over the next week.
HUGE THANKS TO MATT (psmwrx) for letting me use his garage BTW!

Re: BluBallz - Sabre's 2004 STI
Fuel, Air, or spark. Or all three. Is it cylinder number 4? I am sure it will be easy to figure it out logging with your laptop a few times.
You got new injectors that were flow tested, new plugs, and a snail making a lot of air. Maybe a coil pack?

Any CELs? Is it something you can "feel" like a stumble at a particular RPM, or just a general "rough" impression through the entire range?

Re: BluBallz - Sabre's 2004 STI
Not sure yet at all. You can't log individual cylinders, so I have no idea which is having issues. Spark plugs were new too. I may pull the injector connectors and then pull the plugs out to see which are getting spark as I turn it over. Could definitely be a coil pack.psmwrx wrote:Fuel, Air, or spark. Or all three.

CEL on and off, but not one that I can read. It's almost like knock, but it happens all the time. I need to remove the intercooler to check that the knock sensor isn't loose. It's a pretty rough idle, like it's misfiring.drwrx wrote:Any CELs? Is it something you can "feel" like a stumble at a particular RPM, or just a general "rough" impression through the entire range?

Re: BluBallz - Sabre's 2004 STI
Better you than me removing that intercooler. Those custom mounts holding that thing are a bitch. I wouldn't be surprised though if it is something simple. You know where there is a garage if you need it.

One little coil pack causing so much problems. Glad to see her on the road again.

Yep, firing on three cylinders is not good, haha.

Re: BluBallz - Sabre's 2004 STI
My guess is you are still north of 350 whp, though not 400 whp.
That still should put you at a sub-4 sec 0-60 and a low 12 1/4 mile.
