1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD

A little update on what the hell's going on with the Talon.

Running really rough a few days ago while my roommate was borrowing it to get to and from work and school. Idle fine, but then bog down to roughly 300 RPM, then shoot back up to normal. The intake gasket had a/many holes/was completely destroyed. Replaced that a few days ago.
Two days later my back left wheel fell off on Highway 10 while on my way to work. No visible damage, nothing seems tweaked.
Still idling rough, ran a code 44 Ignition coil (cylinders #1 & #4) fault. That's pretty obvious after replacing the plugs since it needed to be done anyway. No, no Iridiums just yet, just cheapo NGKs. Going to test the coil soon and replace the spark plug wires as well, adjust the BISS, check TPS, adjust throttle cable, check any other related ignition sensors.
Still have to buy manifold studs to get the 2G turbo mani on and ready, then replace some more vacuum lines just for safety and then on to some tuning...finally.

No idea how nothing got f'd up. Course, I'm happy about that since the towing company charged me $65 to life up the back end and for them to put the wheel back on. Damn roommate didn't answer his phone to get the jack at home.

Just stick to the NGK BPR7ES.

Yep, that's what I got. Cheapo NGKs. $2.50 a plug.
