yes, ladies and gentlemen, I went to Yoshiya's (neptune speed) today to get my tranny fluid changed

when he drove my car, he said the compression is bad, but that cant be the point cus I had it checked earlier on (9.6 and 9.2 @ 250 rpm)

so he said the coils might be bad since it sounds like it's mis-firing

oh well, hopefully it'll last another 50 miles or so

nope............it lasted...........5............... on the way home, I was accelerating on 2nd gear, from 4k --> 6k (turbo spoolage) and then mis-fire.........I got home, opened the hood

and lo and behold, the 2nd and 4th coils are........fried............fried, like KFC
the 1st one has a cracking sound when I try to move it, and the 3rd one i cant get to cus the stupid charge tube

nice, very.......nice........this is great really, here I am, broke, and coil-less with a car that can't drive without coils............

help T.T

 

Coils arent -that- expensive are they? Just use the money I'm sending for the fog lights on friday to get them...

well, I am dirt broke, you have no idea, I have to sell everything I have right now to buy them, brakes, EMU, foglights

and i barely make anything off them thanks to shipping asshats and paypal

but thanks >.<

 

*sweat*

dude, 4 coils just like what, 110 bux shipped? jeeze.

if u're that broke, u shouldn't be driving :P

 

c'mon Taj, its' only about $100 for coils.
Ask mom and dad, they'll hook you up

 

I had some good takeoffs, but can't remember if I tossed them or not, I'll check and let you know, shipping only if they're still around

 

^^ WOOT, you have friends here who like you after all!!

well, that or we just cant stand the waiting and want you to pop the motor already, and you have to be running to do that

 

^Oh my goodness,, that's not nice. True though. But still not nice.

 

hehehe

we luv taja we just have to poke at him

 

I'm still looking, think they may have been tossed though ...

 

Just for ***** and giggles look and see what your dwell is set at in the INTx menu.....I would bet it's set way too high if you fried the coils that fast/bad....

If you don't set it correctly you will fry a new set of coils in about an hour

 

If you are running the MazSport coil dwell setting on stock coils, they will go bye bye.

 

Jeff, I dont have a clue what you are saying

why?? BECAUSE IM RUNNING BASE MAP

 

eyyy whats up with you and having so much problems with your car, im seeing ur threads and the one with the "Creeeeeeeee" sound lol and this and idk what else?? ...... wuhz going on man???

 

You can afford a turbo kit, am looking to buy a brake kit, but you don't have money for coils? Guys, maintenance is more important than mods!

 

make some Pho and sell it. bucks for buck noodles.

 

He's Thai, not Vietnamese.

 

Pho.... ?

eh?

 

sorry, guess I threw them out thinking that because they were the early style that nobody would ever want them even though I never had any problems using them, no difference when I installed the revised later style coils

 

this is epic indeed

Dan told me that the optimum dwells on stock coils should be 2-2.5 right?

assuming he's correct

this is one of my problems


I think Scott gave me a basemap set for someone with his ignition solution

 

man, stop driving before you get it TUNED

 

ya no kidding....

 

Good lord Taj, by the looks of those dwell settings no wonder your coils are roasted...

 

how do I change the dwell settings/?!?!? T.T I tried pressing the buttons but it doesn't change >.<

 

taj i think i still got some used coils in my garage.....if you want them you can have them....just pay shipping.....let me know and ill look
