my car is back today. the dealership replaced a pack of coils and spark plugs, a starter and a new battery. And the problem is that the part after the intake(i dont know whats that called) stuck open. thats what they came up the cause of the stalling problem on my car.
basically, everything is covered by the warranty except the battery cuz they divide the life of the battery into three years cuz the bumper to bumper warranty is valid for three years, since i have only 2 month left till the end of the bumper to bumper warranty, i am supposed to pay 85% of the charge of the entire battery.

 

also i went on s2000 forum, some people had the same stalling problem. (i first thought only rx8 does cuz that was because of the engine). The way to fix it for them is also replacing the coils.
lol, now i am clear...

 

taja, take this deal since you supposedly hate your HKS so much...

 

well,stuck open ?

I think they';re talking about SSV?

Replacement is cheap, its the labor that kills it.

 

well I made a new intake out of the damn HKS today, installed the new coils (only 3 because 1 came defective and immediately burned up after I put in the car, didn't even start her up man wtf)

replaced the coils and all that fun stuff, also threw in the pulleys cus I was bored..........

anyhow, the car runs like a champ now, pwns all through the powerband XD

 

Did you unplug the battery first?

 

no, I fried half my body..........

lol, jk kane, yea, I had to remove the damn battery anyways, I had only 1 torque gun and it was too big to get in without removing the battery :D

 

How do you fry a coil without a battery????

That is weird - BTW glad to hear you car is running nice again.


Did you paint the coils gold?

 

sorry i ran out of paint

 

i guess thats the throttle body control valve....cuz i called them again and they said they have to leave my car there for another week just waiting for this part coming from japan. i think its under warranty even though i have an intake kit.
