How did it turn out? Find anything?

KRYPTO · Thu Apr 17, 2008 7:03 am

Well got it scanned, and everything is working fine? Changed the fuel filter and it still does same thing. We are thinking its the TPS so switching that today.
Hope it works

I ordered a set of wires so thats my next step I guess

ok the only other thing it could be is the MAF, its hard as hell to see what your car is doing with that O2 dummy in there. i should have drivin it and watched the maf but it may have not showed anything. try cleaning the maf before replacing. from the idle and the throttle snaps the maf was reading right, the barro was good for that store/location, the maf was reading right.

On FF I read some stuff and it might be a bad coil. I'm getting my plug wires on monday, then if that dont work new coil. I'll clean the MAF today and see what happens.

took the coil off cleaned it had no cracks, check the ohms and its good. Did compression test and every cylinder is at 128-130. Getting upgraded wires today so we'll see what that does.

Put new plugs and wires on, still does same Fing problem. Cleaned the MAF (with MAF cleaner) clean TB (with TB cleaner) nothing changed.
So so far I did a scan, new plugs, wires, TPS, clean TB, clean MAF, clean CAI, checked all wires & connections, cleaned and checked coil, cleaned the grounds. STILL F'ed

Whats the next step

anyone have a coil I could try? I'm lost at what else I could try.

I've got a couple spares if you want to try one.

I'd have to drive it to see what it feels like, Fuel pump maybe?

Will today work Steve? I sure hope its not a fuel pump

I would really like to have this problem solve, I keep getting past by EVO's and STI's

I'll be in a little after noon today, I'll bring a used coil with.

BTW- Get used to being passed by Evo's and STI's, at least until you can manage some boost.

KRYPTO · Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:39 am

yeah I drove a EVO last week, now I want FI soooo bad. It sucks cuz I had the cash for it, but DB was booked and I spent it

I'll swing by around 3, or you can call me with a time that works for you.
