Oh, there will be updates very soon

I'll be sure to pull myself away from Half Life: Episode 4 to read these updates.

I'll even put down the wrenches and stop working on my running rally car.

Sweet! lol, update your thread!

Updates?

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!

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?

did you put enough boost fluid in?

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.

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.

Oh snap, I knew I forgot something!!!

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.

I'm really hoping it is something simple.

HUGE thanks to Zak for the coil plug Looks like that was the problem!

She'll be at the meet on Tuesday

Rock it!

So, just bad coilpacks? Not firing on all 4
What TMIC is that?

Finally!

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.

SSAutoChrome of IIRC I did a couple of tuning runs today and it stayed cool to the touch!

BTW, I'll update the first post soon lol, still taking parts off!

Good to see blue balls out and about yesterday...and it's still a quick one

She's not as fast as she was, but she's still a ton of fun

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.

Definitely still need more tuning. I know I'm running rich and I can push the boost more

awesome!

did you pull then built motor and swap in a stock one?

Yes
