I posted this in tech butI giured this would be seen first...

ever since I bought the car it sputtered as soon as I hit boost. i always assumed it was a turbo problem so I turned my boost down and rarelt drove it hard. I recently justinstalled a new 14b, fmic setup, injectors, fuel pump, afpr, and redid my maf by movingit after my bov. Car ran great but it still sputtered when runnning boost, it was just faster...So today on the way home it decides to start back firing and turn off. So I pull over and i go to turn it on again but it wont. it trys and trys and makes all the noises it needs to and the tach shows some movement but somethings just not working..

Is this the coil? Talked to a couple people andthey think this is it.

My car isrolled into some dudes driveway hoping it wont get towed and Im going to fix it tomorrow early as possible so I need this info stat. Please help me!! Also how much is a coil for a 7 bolt? I need one tonight ifnot tomorrow early as hell. Any input is great thanks!

Have you tried new plugs and wires yet?

Sounds like what happened to my car when the ecu went out. just a guess

BOVADDICT · 03-13-2006

Nope, This JUST happened

BOVADDICT · 03-13-2006

I dont wanna go get new plugs wires and coil...

It has some nice wires and new ngk cold plugs about 9k ago.

**scheides** · 03-13-2006

Do you have a MAF-T? Try unplugging it from the harness (leading to the ecu) and see if it starts. Mine acts up when it gets wet (needs to be sealed). Otherwise, plugs and wires will make a world of difference, trust me.

BOVADDICT · 03-14-2006

yes I have a maft. The thing though is the car has always sputtered...Before the maft was even on there

**Kracka** · 03-14-2006

Have you done any checking on the car at all? Why did you even bother to start modding before you had the car fixed? For all you know, this could be as simple as mis-gapped plugs.

BOVADDICT · 03-14-2006

I thought it was a blown turbo.. Everyone was just like ya t-25 will sputter and suck ass.. thats your problem..

So ne wplugs wires and coil tomorrow it seems. Also I was readin gon vfaq and it said a transistor pack? dunno what that is,,

Anyway Lets hope noone goes parts running on my car tonight and that whoevers house that was doesnt decide to tow it and I get to buy a new lsd

**Kracka** · 03-14-2006

You left it in some dude's driveway w/o even asking or leaving a note or anything? Good luck on your car being there tomorrow. If it were my driveway it sure wouldn't be. My neighbor parked two broken down VW's in front of my house in the road last fall and refused to move them, long story short, they are the city's property now.

I left a note on my car saying sorry for the inconvenience. He runs a local food store in the summer and has like a 5 car garage. So I left a number and everything and were going out early as hell in the morning to get these parts and I looked him up in the phone book to call in the morning as well..

So well hope for the best and hope I call him before he realizes its out there and hopefully hell be nice and understanding and I can get it running and get to the meet tonight.

You know a years worth of AAA is probably a LOT cheaper than whatever is going to happen with your car tonight. If you have AAA they will flatbed your shit for free anywhere within 55 miles.

Or better yet, you really need a reliable car. I've never seen a single post of yours that indicates that you are the type of person that should own a DSM.

Really though, you cant be storing and fixing your shit on someone elses property without permission. Even at this point you should have it towed back to your place unless you know EXACTLY what is wrong with it.

On a side note. If tomorrow morning there is a 2G in my driveway (if you could fit one more car), I'm putting it's heart and soul in the conquest and using the shell as a clothes hamper.

BOVADDICT · 03-14-2006

Ok Well Im hopinghell benice and he has a huge driveway hes a farmer. So im hoping a nice phonecall and talking to my gf's da(only lives a couple streets down) hell help us out.

As for the I shouldnt own a dsm post.. Why is that? Ive changed since my old dont research before asking questions days and ill pay you to put in a af guage...

Anyway if my cars there and he wants it gone that morning I will just push it into the street and fix it there till a cop says buddy.. get out of here or ill take your car. A cop was actually very nice to me tonight when I was on the side of the road and we already told the local community service officer(goof family friend of my gf's) whats going on so they wouldnt tow it but they dont know about it being moved to a driveway.. we just figured it would be safer then having it on a icy turn on the side of the road.

W.e Ill keep you updated as soon as I fo to see if its still there.

Also see whoever at applebees tonight if my car works or grey wulf is still down for taking my ass..

Cars in the shop gettign a new crank sensor, timing belt, water pump, and all the fun labor charges and tow charges that come with it

BOVADDICT · 03-15-2006

Thats also hoping that its not crank walk... then he insist on putting new bearings in it and not swapping it....

**Kracka** · 03-15-2006

What shop is your car at? Take your car to a mechanic who knows what he is talking about when it comes to Dissems. A lot a time just new bearings don't do shit when your block is crap (i.e. crankwalk).
