    Drop and Roll: Lowered MKIIIs + Aftermarket Wheel Showroom

    Got some temporarily rims.. as the ugly 16" previous ones needed to go. König Monsoon All 18x7.5 ET45 225/40/18 Rims are way to narrow, but as said it's only temporarily. Getting 18" ADR M-Classic 8.5/9.5 in the end. Also need about 10-20mm front and 20-30mm rear spacers to make it look correct.

    I'll check for intake leak, and take a quick drive without TPS. Still wondering what spark blowout/misfire is, what causes it, and how it can be fixed. If I do have to rewire knock sensors.. how much do I need to take of to access them?

    Knock sensor issue can be noticeable, however, it can as easily be not noticeable also. I've had lots of error codes and faults before I got the GTE swap complete. Have had AFM, ignitor, turbo etc.. and thought about fixing knock sensor. Got all other things fixed, and the engine was running...

    No idea.. but the error code doesn't really lead to that fault? What symptons do you get with a spark misfire? What causes it?
