  1. Re: CEL: Random Multiple Misfire and other Bogging issues.

    Still struggling with this issue. Car now sounds like a tractor! Throwing a CEL almost every time I accelerate. Can't be good for engine but....still runs.

    I tested replacing coil packs and...
  2. Re: CEL: Random Multiple Misfire and other Bogging issues.

    Got the code pulled again and more codes to play with:

  3. Re: CEL: Random Multiple Misfire and other Bogging issues.

    Went to my mechanic and pulled the code myself. "Random Multiple Misfire"
  4. Re: CEL: Random Multiple Misfire and other Bogging issues.

    Didn't even know there was such a thing, but reading up on it, you might be onto something. http://cjbfire.com/Heatsoak.pdf. If I'm understanding that term correctly, it's caused by coolant spraying...
  5. CEL: Random Multiple Misfire and other Bogging issues.

    First the CEL, mechanic says it could be the crank sensor, which I shouldn't worry about replacing.

    I think it's the coil packs so I ordered new one's, possibly replacing tomorrow. Hope I get the...

    Re: Who runs without an engine undercover?

    It's really annoying for doing oil changes. I even bought special clips to hold it and the plastic broke off those.

    I've been driving without it for about 40k now and no issues; 2 summers; 2...
  7. Re: 3 screw heads broken off, 4 screws spinning free; woes of an undertray

    I bought those clips at Spaenaur and the bolts too, Cost me a few bucks for all the hardware. I can sell you now that I'm not using my tray :)
  8. Re: 3 screw heads broken off, 4 screws spinning free; woes of an undertray

    Agreed. Just completed an oil change and the filter hole doesn't line up, so i started cutting the tray, but then just threw it out.

    Re: CAR DOESNT START SOMETIMES

    I had the same issue. If you turn the key and all you hear is the electronics and the fuel pump whine, that's probably the starter or starter wire being corroded.

    It's very reasonable to get...

    Re: Aftermarket head unit wiring ....

    I tried searching for the stock connector pinout, but found nothing.

    My wiring harness does not have the illumination/dimmer wire, so I gotta tap into the stock harness.

    If anyone can help,...

    Re: rustproofing on november..

    Listen to the recommendations of the people doing the rust proofing, not one's getting it done. Krown recommends you do it in spring/summer.

    Rust is a chemical reaction which is propagates...
  13. Re: Lower control arms, ball joint replacement question

    No, it's not covered.

    I replaced both front LCA's. I found buying the whole LCA was cheaper than getting replacement parts. I bought from rockauto, but ordered in the US to save on shipping and...

    Re: How To: ETB Grounding

    Sorry, but that is a little incorrect. http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.m.johnson/electric_circuits/08_resistance_thickness.htm

    Re: HID Problem: Bulb/Ballast Misfiring

    Update --
    After a little more fiddling, I still couldn't get it to work, but narrowed down the buzzing to the igniter, not the ballast itself. The buzzing occurs inside the igniter and at the...

    Re: HID Problem: Bulb/Ballast Misfiring

    I am not getting shocked when the EM discharge dissipates through my fingers. This is because the connection is closed, not open (connected to bulb). It makes sense that if the connection is open,...

    Re: HID Problem: Bulb/Ballast Misfiring

    Finally, I got an intelligent response! I wasn't aware of the 15-20kVolt operation of HID's. That's definitely the light discharge I'm seeing and that explains why the discharge was going through...

    Re: HID Problem: Bulb/Ballast Misfiring

    Turning the light ON and OFF does not fix the problem. I have to disconnect the ballast to bulb connector (physically) and that doesnt work all the time either.

    Re: HID Problem: Bulb/Ballast Misfiring

    Please explain why.

    The stream of light is a very dim and can only be seen in the dark, It is not a spark, but some sort of discharge which dissipates through the ground or body.

    Another thing I noticed is that when the bulb misfires, there is a faint light that travels through the wire connecting to the bulb. I've seen that faint light go through the separate grounding...
