I was too nervous to gap them ;) I left them alone and decided to swap back in the NGK coppers. It didn't change anything, still ran like garbage. Jdub, as far as pulling the plugs from the coil packs when it was running, yes I did this and all had good spark. I was listening for change when...

It has nothing to do with the timing, I have set the timing, but like I say it is missing so badly the timing mark is jumping in two different spots, which leads me to believe it has to be some kind of electrical problem. The plug wires checked out fine per tsrm also. I don't know what to look...

I checked the resistance of the wires and they seemed to check out okay. When I check the timing the mark is showing in two spots, it is missing that bad.

Anyone?

Well....Back, Tested the car and no boost leaks. I tested the tps without the throttle opened and that seemed to be within spec. Not sure where to begin checking next. Here is a video of it running, not a very good vid, but you can see the timing light all over the place that I put on it...

I would like to think that, however I redid all connections 3 times. I only removed the plugs, wires, coil pack and reconnected everything. Hopefully tonight I can test these other things out, first off a boost leak test. I will check the grounds, any diagram to figure out where they are all...

Yeah, I still need to do a boost leak test again, which is the first thing I am going to do next. Then, I will check the TPS. Just not sure if the TPS can make it miss that poorly causing the timing mark to show in two spots at once during the timing check. Could the idle drop when AC is...

Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Here goes, checked a few things out. all 6 wires seem to be within spec. 1.51 1.40 2.15 3.07 3.91 4.41 Book said anything less than 25 kohms per wire Checked the 3 primary coils Each primary coil came out to .6 (suppost to be .3 - .5 ohms) Assuming this is still okay, since they were...

Well it isn't the plugs, still running like garbage. I think this is definitely electrical, here is why. When I had the car running decent, I through a timing light on the car and the timing mark was showing in two spots, hence the reason I wanted to change the plugs to see if it corrected the...

Yeah, I might try the old plugs first, I think it might be something with the iridiums. If not, a boost leak test, then on to other things.

I will check that also. Thanks!

Yeah, i should retest for leaks just to be certain before testing other things. I will report back tonight.

Interesting though you say 51, I accidentally left te1 and e1 jumpered when I started it one time and got a 51 error while the car was on, I turned it off right away and the code didn't stay logged. I will test the iscv when I get home per tsrm and see what it says.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, no codes showing.

So I am not sure yet what the deal is, I fixed a huge boost leak and the car began to run a lot better with NGK coppers installed, but it still had a slight miss. I decided to put in some NGK BCPR7EIX iridiums (didn't gap them) in hopes that would stop the miss and the idle bounces just a hair...

I researched and found there are no cooler plugs than the stock one. Oreilly's has them online for around 46 shipped.

I was reading some posts about spark plugs. I have been running NGK coppers, but would like to go back and try out some NGK platinums. I was checking out the heat ranges, but couldn't find any platinums in any posts that were a step cooler than the NGK 5275's. Does anyone know the next cooler...

Need a carfax for vin 164878J284512

Grim can you snap a pic. I actually went to the store and almost found what I was looking for. I found a heater hose which was large on one end and reduced on the other, just a little to small for the accordian pipe inlet. I need to find something with an id of 3/4" on one end and 1 1/4" id...
