We tried to do a test at Phil's but Den lost his wheel lock key/ or never had one (dealership raped him) and those spark plugs were seized on tight.
We eventually got the plugs changed out and they were muddy black with oil and some grainy particles of metal or something. There was only one other time I have seen plugs like this but I won't say where. I gave him a set of my spare plugs and put those in. Then jumped his battery to Gil's car and tried to start it, but no go. I know his battery is weak because it always reads around 11 but when it was hooked up to Gil's it was a solid 13.4+
His new PepBoys starter sounds just as weak as his old 04 oem starter so I was suspecting a bad ground somewhere, but haven't had a chance to look around to see.
His car isn't pulling any codes. We have done the deflood procedures from, washer fluid, depressed gas pedal, and popping the clutch.
Den: I wanted to come out to tonight with Gil but we were working on Gil's car and just got finished about an hour ago. I'll hit you up tomorrow.

I was texing with Den on my way home tonight. I pmed Phil if I can use his compression tester on my 8 and Den's 8. I told Phil I want AJ to be there with me when we test Den's 8. I was shooting for Thursday or Friday.

I am a big fan of Oakenfold and have a **** load of his music live and studio. I think Cream Fields Live 99 (1999) and Transport are my all time favorite cd's of his. Some, well most of the music I have is out of print. I still jam it. His music is like gabriel and dresden Judge Jules from Radio 1 ect. To me it never gets old. But thats me.

Aww, now we need to check everything again. While it was good for it's day it will cause the computer to do strainge things cuz the computer is trying to defeat it.
Those things took constant care and adjustment....................I know I had one and got rid of it quick.

Phil, I think I need details on Driveline, Kasumi has been down for a long time... I need to start thinking of different options to get her back on the road in case my initial plan doesn't pan out.
Phil & AJ, I know you will laugh at me for saying this but as soon as you remove it reset the ECU and then do 3 drives of 1 mile or more (turning the key off after each and all trips). Then do your tests again after the reset and drive cycles. I know someone will tell you I'm crazy but having owned one of those things I do know what has to be done to rid yourself of the mess.

On Den's car no? It reaks of fuel. His starter sounds sooo weak.
Good advice, since I have never seen one of these, only read about it and knows it requires constant tuning and it is a POS.
I will check his AFR's before and after taking out that dead weight. Thanks.
