hey DFW guys,
I need to get my damn car from McKinney to Denton. anyone know a good towing place that wont rip me off and has good quality trailers?

 

Did something blow up?

 

uh oh, more problems than what you imagined?

 

well, it's running on 4 cylinders... it's not the coil packs, we havent checked the injectors, but what are the odds of 2 injecors going out? they're brand new and less than a month old. but i wanna get it over to the dealership cause my best friend is a tech there.. he is fixing some other small things too (AC, skid plate, etc)

i dunno what the heck is going on? i know you take a risk when you do stuff like this to cars, but i mean, the car is spending more time in down time then on the road (it doesnt help that i travel most of the week, so i cant get anything done to it)

 

Yup, if it's not one thing, it's another. A lot of stress and headaches sometimes when you go to the dark side.

 

i'm debating on getting rid of it, it's amazing fun, but i just need to start saving for other things, such as vacations, house, etc.. someone will get a goooood deal from me if i decide to sell it.

 

I'll get you a guys name/numb this evening if it's not too late for ya....he was careful with babygurl and even took off his work shirt to put it under the tips to make sure they didn't scratch...

 

What kind of setup are you running? How much boost are you pushing. Give me all the details. We can work on figuring out what's wrong and get your ride to be more reliable...

 

i have a vortech with Utec and 440 injectors. just put some copper spark plugs in it, tuned by chris macallero... we had a hard time making the car hit over 7lbs of boost when we got it tuned... heat and other factors i guess? didnt get anywhere near as much power to the wheel as before the tune, but it was running really lean. i dunno, i've had an iffy feeling since the tune, but i mean Chris can be trusted. ran perfectly for about 2 months, but of course i am not in town a lot. as soon as i was in town for 2 weeks, i kind of abused it (meaning had a lotta fun with it) and of course this happens. I parked it fri night (ran just fine), and started it sat morning to find it like this.

triwerks might be my next option.. someone said it might be my ecu.

 

Hmmm, that's odd. I'm running NGK's one step cooler than stock, although I ran with stock spark plugs for a while with no issues, still have them lying around somewhere. So what pulley do you have and what psi does it usually get people up to? I would also get some compression checks done while your trouble shooting everything else. Air/Fuel ratios all look good?
