Ok fellas I installed NGK V-Racing plugs (copper) car has been running ok, however the first night at WOT the car stuttered once or twice and had some exhaust popping.

Well today I was in bumper to bumper traffic, I mean rolling about 2-3 mph for about one hour, then out of no where The car stuttered, the CEL & Oil light flickered the car died!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was able to barely roll to the shoulder, started to hyperventilate and could not start the car, it turned but what not kick over. I waited 2 minutes and was able to get it started up and drive another hour home, problem free, I kept in a lower then normal gear to keep the RPMS above 3,0000 or so, so I wouldnt not stall

What do you guys think, should I pull my plugs and check em?

Cracked my W/S on the way home too

No idea, all I know is when I was running a piggyback the car always ran pretty crappy but it never stalled or anything. Now with the EMS, it drives as if it was factory.

Yeah my car has been running fine lately..

Ten today I went to leave my friends house and any time it would see boost the car would buck go super rich and just fall on its face.
After a while it was better but when I would try and VTEC the same thing would happen. CRAP this is driving me crazy as it seems to happen ever now and then..

Did a map whack when I got home..
Will see how it goes on the way to work tomorrow.


I feel your pain Joey.

sounds EXACTLY like my car when my distributor started to fail. my car would just stall randomly when i came to a stop, then it would work fine for the next few days.

good thing we have coilpacks

brilliant

that doesn't sound good.....you dont want to see the oil and cel blinking like that.

when I had both of those I had spun a bearing. get that checked asap and dont drive the car.

JoeyBalls

Well I think the lights blinked because the car had shut off..............they did not come on while the motor was running

I wouldn't worry joey. It was probably just bad heatsoak. Your IATs creeped up, and once you hit it the ecu didn't quite get the afr and timing right. My car runs like crap, and barley runs, if I let it sit for too long and restart it. Did it start acting fine after you put some air through the FMIC?

JoeyBalls

ysea, it started fine and ran great, I kept RPMS up and went the back roads to get air through the engine bay

I think IM going to go buy a FIT as DD
