I have a 14 lb. Exedy flywheel, and I get misfires, so I'm not too surprised.

the light never goes out anymore... it's just a matter of whether the engine performs like its properly firing on all 4 or not.

I know I am being vague in my descriptions. It's a strange problem I have never encountered before.

BAN SUVS... I actually ran my acr with yours in an Auto X a few months back, in Stockton. If you're still local, I'll hook you up with lunch or beers or pretty much anything (aside from man love) if you'd take a look.

Hey cool... yeah, if you make a meet or event I am going to I'd be glad to take a look. I'll even Delta Dash your car if your ECU numbers match up to mine (meaning I don't need to use my last license). I am always at the weekly Sacramento meet, but I do my autocrossing in Reno now. I also make UCKK fairly often.

Nice! I saw this Saturday the 6 th is on but... when and where? I'll do damn near anything to get her running smooth again. And of course, once I do, I'm gonna hook up the tech and screw it all up again

Check the first post of the Weekly Sacramento Meet thread in the Donuts forum. We're there every week and it has all the info.

Hey guys, I am not interested in how you two want to repay each other (Man love or not *BLEAH*), but would be interested to see what the problem ended up being. So when you do know, let me know as I am curious about the problem... not the repayment *BLEAH!*

Cool.... I checked that out but I know how times and places can change. I wasn't exactly willing to go through 65 pages of nonsense only to find out that post 1 of page 1 had the correct info

So, as of yesterday I feel like the worlds largest nut sack. All I did was pull the wires, take a small thread brush to them and popped them back on. It's like butta! Idles smooth and pulls hard again. This is just another lesson that I learn over and over. I don't need to be looking for the most difficult of problems. Start with the basics and go from there. Man... what a jackass.

After having to replace a clutch fork and a wheel bearing, I never thought the solution in this case would be so simple. Still getting some new plugs and wires after all that nonsense though.

Thanks guys!

We're still at that location, although that's subject to change soon. However, the first post will be edited to reflect that- it always has current info, as we don't want to discourage newcomers by sending them to the wrong place.

I had the same problem with my 99rs. The O2 sensor somehow had a dirt buildup on it. I discovered this by taking apart the entire intake. Just cleaned it off with some WD40 and I was good to go.

I think you mean MAF sensor, not O2.
