hello all!

ok a moment ago I went ahead and tuned the dwell setting down to 2.5 (not sure if its 2.5 or 2.0 so) and restarted the car, will be going down to 2.0 real soon

the 1st thing i can notice is that my vacuum idle is now @ -20 instead of -17ish.......and it stays there :D

joy oh joy! my engines ok! my baby's alright OMFG WTF BBQ I DONT HAVE TO PAY 500000000$ for ENGINE REBUILD!!! yay yay and Yay!!!

idle is great, haven't went out for a drive yet cus the rest of the map is pretty much in the ******* I think, the TPS cal is way too much (well, we adjusted that because we thought it wasn't calibrated correctly) so gonna put that down a bit and stuff



here's the bad news

even though I put it down to 2.5 now, I had yet, payed another price again..............it had fried my 3rd coil (from the left) in a matter of 4 days........the rest are ok, but now I am yet again, 1 coil short

 

I just ordered a new set of coils and spark plug wires for my 04. My old coils are wires are perfectly fine. No problem whatsoever. I have no heavy mod added to my engine and I'm a light driver. I decided to change them cuz ..........well....I thought it's time for a major tune-up...lol

Anyway....I will soon have old coils and wires sitting in my garage....

If taj....or anyone wants it.....let me know...

They will be available for taking in about 2 weeks.

 

Let me make sure I got this right, rather than learn how to do it yourself and save money you went to a shop to do one of the simplest maintenance things done? And then you complain about how you have no money for coils? Maybe you shouldn't **** money away on stupid junk.

 

icant do a tranny fluid change damn it! I cant put the tranny fluid in!!!!!! I dont have that pump thinging

I can do an oil change though

 

but you can do a turbo install ? WTF ?

There is this thing called a gear lever - can you guess what is underneath it ?

 

Nothing that you would put fluid in. There is a bolt for that under the car.

 

guess all that oil I poured down that hole must have just dissappeared then .....

 

^^it's sitting somewhere in the under belly of your car slowly eating away the metal...

 

^ bret, thats not where you put your tranny fluid

wtf did you do

 

I bet it's hiding on the floor of your garage or wherever you decided to do it.

 

you can put in the tranny fluid from the shifter hole

 

i've never seen someone so EXCITED to have to replace their COILS!! WOOT

 

Baby steps Taj,, Baby steps!

 

^ whatever easy! I hope your car dies!

i cant even hear ray over the fone while you where driving

jesus Christ man @.@


about the coils, ok, I set the dwell down to 2.0 again, everything seems fine..........again

I have an exhaust leak where the turbo hits the manifold...........the damn scew that I screwed in halfway and couldn't tighten, obviously, came loose, causing the turbo to spool half-assed and not be able to spool to 7 because it's leaking exhaust out

need to fix that..........

 

Nice! And I was going to send you some coils out of the goodness of my heart. Cause I'm that kinda guy. But no you have to be a ********. So no coils for you. I'll just keep them.

 

awww, it's ok easy, don't have to, I think mine should be fine with this setting now

 

hey.

i am nice, and i would love to have a set of old first edition used coils.

beers

 

If you've seriously overheated them they can't be trusted...spend the cash and upgrade/replace them as soon as you can

 

as soon as ray ships his stuff, I should be upgraded

and yea, 4.0 dwell setting really screwed manythings over
