Get my new starter today.

Been driving the car for 2 days now and it runs like crap. I drop it into second and floor it and it goes nowhere. In 3rd gear it hiccups. Feels pretty bad, what else could be the problem. I'm taking it back to the dealer today. This car is becomign a money pit

Put the new coils back in it (you did keep them, correct?), and pull and inspect the spark plugs.

BC.

I installed a new fuel pump and a new starter. It feels much better. Still starts a bit slower than i'd like but overall the car is running great and is not throwing any CELs.

I have similar problem like yours. Maybe just the fuel pump is all i needed. The car starts fine though. Thanks for that info.

Sorry about Thread revival but can you tell us if its still ok or if you got more Issues. I was having slow startup and no power at low RPMs. Had the dealer Compression test and they are replacing the motor with a new one. I have to pay for coils, wire, motor mounts luckily i found them OEM cheaper with Dealer Discount all for 500 instead of paying 1k from them. how much was the fuel pump i may do that when i recieve the car back.
