Type II coilpack
« on: August 02 2011, 12:18:51 AM »
What was the issue with using them (3 coil units)?
Baseplate is drilled differently?

I believe an adaptor plate is required.

They often don't work worth a damn at higher rpm/boost.  They only have one voltage feed instead of two.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Hmm too bad- have one on hand.

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, here's my symptoms:

Car seems fine otherwise , no codes,
highway driving-periodically above ~2200 it ....bogs hesitates.
backoff the throttle a bit and it clears up.
I do see a bit of black deposit on the lower quarters at the tailpipe.

Thoughts?

what does your pl log show under these conditions?  Does not sound like an ignition problem.

I guess you guys are forcing my hand to get a PL.
So I wouldn't necessarily see retard if fuel disappeared?

This is the car with the new DW pump ( installed by ArizonaGN )

I guess that would depend on how much boost.

if you had powerlogger, it would be easy to see if the o2s fell at this time which would be indicative of lack of fuel, but, even with a scanmaster you can watch them and see if they change at this time.
