Thumbs up Update

Well the ignition coil came in and i replaced it. And now the car runs like a champ again. When i took it out and compared it to the new one, i noticed that it seem to have some play in it. I could wiggle it back an forth. The new one did not have any play.

Only thing i can think that could of happened to it, would be when i replaced the plugs last year. Maybe i cracked it inside while trying to reinstall it.

Oh well, its fixed now. Thanks for your help guys

Later

My car no longer has this problem since I removed the Turbinetics kit......

I have a feeling that the TN kit just has so much backpressure that exhaust can't properly evacuate the cylinders and I was getting "spark blowout."

I think I had somewhere over 30 pulls on a dyno last week and never once did I get the flashing SES light....and I've got a greddy TT kit on now.

Apparentely only on your car. I've never seen my SES light flash... several others haven't either...

who's to say...I'm just happy that it isn't happening any more.....seeing your SES light flash at you is very disconcerting.

The guy who bought my TN kit hasn't reported any SES issues, and I know he's abusing the hell out his car now.
