So I've almost given up on trying to figure out the cause of this issue. While driving on a cold engine (below operating temp) I have to be very smooth with the throttle, otherwise my wideband shoots down to the rich end of the gauge (9, maybe 10:1) for a couple of seconds, the engine...

So yesterday I decided to remove and inspect the fuel sender unit in my '90 turbo because the low fuel light had stopped coming on a while back, yet the gauge always seemed to work fine and stay rather accurate. So I removed the unit, and the protective cover over the coil winding and contact...

So, I think my 7M coil pack is starting to go...well, either that or my Ignitor. Just recently only on cold starts, it fires up with a miss that clears up in a matter of seconds, and never returns until the next cold start. Then one morning this week it just cranked and cranked, as if it had no...

So all of a sudden yesterday, I notice that my gas pedal now sticks at the very top of the travel, just after the freeplay. I sprayed some wd-40 on the throttle mechanisims and it doesn't seem to have done anything. I love how this problem seems to have come out of nowhere. Anyone else ever have...

So I finally broke down and bought a DP. JSC Speed had the HKS DP on sale so I caved. So once i decided on running with no cats, I started looking around at test pipes. Just about 2 weeks ago, I ordered a 3" test pipe from BIC because he had the lowest shipping price. Still haven't gotten it. I...

Ok in my other threads I wrote about the troubles my 7M has had in the past 6 months or so. Well, they're still not ironed out unfortunately. I'm pretty sure my recently replaced stock hg has failed on me, most likely because I didn't retorque my arp bolts after 5 heat cycles like i should have...

Ok so to make a long story short I had pulled my head and had it rebuilt a few months ago due to a burnt exhaust valve. (For the full length story check my "well she's hurt-mystery of the sudden #2 no compression misfire solved" thread). The car is stock save for a cat back and intake. Its my...

So, about 3 weeks ago, I hop on the highway home just after getting gas. I accelerate rather briskly to a velocity somewhere near the speed limit :) . Then all of a sudden I notice a strange vibration. I notice the car is now struggling to do 60. I slow down, and then I hear it- an unmistakable...

Just giving a big heyhowareya to SM. I've wanted an MK3 since I was about 13. An older kid near me had a dark blue '87 turbo...you could hear him coming from a mile away. Fast forward to today, and here I am the proud owner of my own. Now people here ME coming from a mile away :biglaugh: and I...
