Check engine light ***videos included***
 
Ok, so I've been reading all kinds of threads about the flashing engine light for 2days straight and RIWWP i have read thru the misfire thread ive done the checklist that was provided in that thread, well everything besides getting compression test but that'll be my very last thing to do if i cant figure this out. I have the BHR Ignition kit and i did the Inductive timing light i got constant lighting thru all rpms. All 3 sprk plugs were like a tanish color which were both leading and the trailing plug thats close to the coils, the trailing close to the firewall was black coated. I bought the BHR mid-pipe since i thought mine was clogged, so when i took the cat off the comb was cracked and wasn't see thru.

My car idles fine (Inside video)

I'm keeping my 8 no matter what happens its my 1st RWD car and ROATRY at that,If it comes to it that i need another engine is PETTIT RACING engines worth getting?

Well i my 8 got the compression results and the paper shows there all above 720 but that it could be my coils or the wires so i already ordered new wires from bhr to see if it helps any, but i also found out that my transmission internals are getting jacked up which explains the grindage at high rpms in 3rd gear. for a brand new trans and labor will be $2800 but i wont be getting that for another few weeks.......
