Hopefully that will help it out Cole.
And AJ thanks for pretty much buying the coilovers today. Its gonna be weird having S Techs on again for a while, but anyway just hit me up when youre gonna be on break and we will get those put on. Im sure youll love it. And if you want maybe even pick up some 20mm spacers and we can thrown those on too.

I had a similar problem with my 8 Cole. The engine took a little longer to start today and once I had it running I could tell their was a misfire (sounds like a lawnmower and the CEL was flashing). The car was so weak it couldn't even leave the parking garage i was in haha.
I'll be checking the plugs, wires, and coils tommorow and see if thats the problem. Also think the colder weather could be causing my car to run even richer.
Adam, did you install the s-tech's yet? hopefully i can fix this problem with my car before I go back to stl.

I just went with the OEM's. I didn't wanna throw down the extra 400 bucks for BHR now. At this point in the life of my car, it would be a little bit of overkill I think.

today was pretty messed up;
good news, replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the coils (have the updated 100-A coils now), i'm pretty sure the car was only running on three coils for some time cause now the idle/start-up/throttle response is a lot better.
bad news, within 2 minutes of replacing the ignition I was stopped at an intersection and got rear-ended not once, but twice!! i guess the person forgot wear the brake pedal was?:/ ... anyways it wasn't to bad just nicked the paint up and the license plate was bent up.

Ya I'm still getting the damage quoted for the insurance company but it should be covered. The deductible is what is gonna suck. At least the car is running good. I forgot about for now after quite a few shots lol.
