Today was a bad day. My car was driving fine all day until I was on my way home. A little more than a mile away from my house, my car starts to sputter like its misfiring when I go past half throttle. So I left off the gas some but it eventually starts to sputter again until I can't even touch the pedal. So then I'm coasting in neutral when the car just dies so I pull into an empty lot. I try to start her up but the car sounds horrible and barely worked hard enough to stay on. So I let it cool off for a few hrs. I come back and it starts but it sounds like shit. I get the car home but now I need to make a date with mazda.
|
that sucks, sounds like the problems you were having before and with the problem you just stated it might be compression and time for a new engine. you are still under warranty period right?
|
Dude this time it really has me scared. I'm still under warranty but I can't necessarily return my car to stock. I don't have a spare cat lying around or a factory exhaust. My car came with neither of the two. So wish me luck. Ill keep everyone updated. O my did stick was smelling like gas when I pulled it out. idk what that means.
|
I was hoping to get out to Sebring, but I don't have an opportunity that weekend.
I'll definitely get out there at some point though! :mdrmed: |

they shouldnt give you much crap if you put a factory cat and intake. those are two of the most crucial things that they give you problems about. and gas in oil = bad and means new engine time most likely

Btw...I'm at Tower shops right now. :)
|

i miss towers...is the 8 turn out decent there now? I talked to a buddy of mine in an 08 civic si that told me about a trip back home. He ran into a blue 8 that he considering running until the 8 driver started shooting flames at him. Haha. "it was the most intimidating thing I've seen man" Those were his exact words...
|
:lol: I would love to fix my car to do that
|
Trolllzzz
|
the 'rents are sick of the rich smell, gunna have to go back to having a cat again for now... :/
|
Lame.....
|
Ah, dammit Xero, I missed your post. I would have gone. :p I just started working and I've kind of destroyed my weekends. 4pm - 2am Friday and Saturday.
|
i could get a cobb and lean out the car a little more so im not running so rich and get rid of a lot of the smell...but i already have the cat sitting in my garage. so obviously you see which route is cheaper..
|
So what are the real benefits of going cat-less? I'm finally getting to the point that I want to start modifying, and that seems to be a very early mod or most people.

wait, wait. you are saying if I take out the cat, then my car its going to push fire out of the exhaust that you can actually see. now my question is... is that going to turn the CEL on?
|
^yes
