Dave, if you want to swap my coil packs into your car, let me know.

 

Thanks Skip . I'm going to just let The Bruised Banana sit for now. I've purchased an OBDII reader that I'll probably receive by end of month. Then I'll be able to run down the problem via code .

More than likely, it will prove to be coils. To that likelihood, I'm going to purchase sc_highlander's used '02 coils he has for sale. I should get those from him at end of 1st week in February.

Until then...

 

Thank the Lord for internet and giving w1ngy the strength to post.

 

 

hAHAHAHAHAHA OH MAN... UR A PICTURE POST'ER TOO!??!! man i'm missing out!

 

i agree check them. rubber hoses on a 01 (dont kill me dave) i believe will dry rot just liek all rubber. i had that problem on my mustang, when i got the code read with a OBII it gave me a laundry list of things totaling over 500 just in parts. didnt give anything about vacuum, old mechanic told me to check it. .50cent fix. then the PCM died on it.

 

best wishes, W1ngy.

 

 

I do not believe this is true. I believe it is a difference of <50lbs.

 

so a basically stock s2000 kept up with basically the same car with about 100whp and 40lb/ft of tq at the wheels extra, 4.77 gearing, J's header/testpipe/70mm single exhaust, and an ACT clutch?
