Hi guys,

I was driving today... and i experienced a big problem...

I was reversing the car out of the garage and it felt as if the idle was very rough... and the clutch was slipping (which it was not, i had it inspected at a local shop). I ended up driving it about 5 miles to work... which were hell. The clutch seemed to be slipping... but i think it was more a misfire since my clutch was inspected at the shop and it was perfect still. It died on me a total of at least three times, and it seemed to want to die. I ended up having a buddy from work pick it up and drop it off another friend's shop while i was at work going crazy. They reported that i was misfiring horribly, and i am guessing that a coil pack went or i fouled my spark plugs (which are all of 300 miles old, i just changed them)...

Any thoughts/Comments? I am probably going to replace all of my plugs and both coil packs tomorrow/order them (i have another car... a van =( ). Where is the absolute cheapest place to get OEM 2004 VIII coil packs? Here are my mods:


AMS GT35R TURBO KIT
AMS FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER
AMS LOWER INTERCOOLER PIPE
AMS UPPER INTERCOOLER PIPE W/ TIAL BLOWOFF VALVE
AMS RESONATED TEST PIPE
AMS EXHAUST
AMS 880 INJECTORS
AMS FUEL RAIL
AMS SMALL BATTERY
EXEDY TWIN DISC HD CLUTCH
WALBRO 255 FUEL PUMP
SMC ALKY KIT
DEFI BOOST GAUGE
HALLMAN MANUAL BOOST CONTROLLER
TEIN S-TECH SPRINGS
Gsc 272's

All those mods and ems?

 

Bring it to the shop and we can look at it. Most likely something very simple.

I live in Palatine. PM me

 

It has a AMS Flash... nothing else fuel wise. And it was definitely not bad gas either.

 

PMed you 9sec240

 

If its a misfire usually it will trigger your check engine light

 

possibly a loose harness then

 

My check engine light went on once I arrived at work... Sorry i could have sworn I wrote that in there but i guess not. And i was told that while shifting that I have flames... Which might look sweet, but it cannot be good for the turbo or exhaust, haha.

 

Hey guys,

Any other advice? Where can i get coil packs for really cheap?

 

Was the maf sensor plugged in? Im sure it was but that could be a simple fix. I forgot to plug mine in one time and the car ran really bad.
