Whats wrong with my car.
« on: December 22 2005, 04:21:10 PM »
Its slow.

I get knock at 5 lbs of boost and above.

Headliner is falling.

Paint is now fucked.

Window tint is now fucked

Engine is now dirty and leaks oil... I know they all do

cd player is broke

bad gas mileage

now there is some wierd grinding noise at start up... not initial start up, but when reved to 1500rpms....  something clanging

Powermaster is shot... probably gonna die soon

Turbo blows some oil (might be cuase of knock)

interior is no mint like it was

Thats all I can think of...

Mind you it has less than 80k  I put about 18k on it and it only ran great for 2 weeks.   The owner before me was nuts and documented everything... one of those guys.... It looked great, couldn't find anything wrong with it when I bought it... now  :finga:  :rolleyes:  :finga:  :rolleyes:  :finga:  :vom:  :mad:  :jerkit;

oops forgot threw a code 42.... yesterday... I think It actually might be the ECM 'cause the screw that held the kick panel fell out and I'm sure that its not plugged in well enough...

Natty, save the poor boy. Sounds like you'll need to take a couple days off school though.
Save the bumper fillers!
Move to Canadia!

Well swamped out the new coil pack and module for the old one and all was good for about 5 minutes and then.....   code 42....  

ECM was plugged in well enough.  I'll have to give  someone close a call to let me borrow their ECM for a day.

No rust... No sell... I'd lose way tooo much money and have to hear my Dad say told you so..  Besides I havn't even been able to experience a GN yet.  

What else could throw a code 42  Module, ECM, and T+ maybe....

I thinks it the T+ or a bad connection. Keep clearing your compuer and see if it comes back or not.
