sounds like it is time for a new motor mount on that side...not surprising at all...probably has been ready for 15 years if it is original

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

And I talked him through setting the translator back to the basic settings.  My chip and injectors shipped today.  should be here by Monday. keep ya posted on everything.  And is the motor mount something a shop would have to do?

are there motor mounts on both sides? why just the driver side if so?

because the motor mount on the drivers side is under tension and the the one on the passenger side is under compression so it does not get pulled apart...not to mention it is harder to get to!

Mounts are cheap, tho...so it will not hurt to do them both

I wish I could be home right now.  Plugs got changed out and the car wont start.  Brother said there's white smoke coming out the air filter. This is a pain. :icon_eyes:

Im starting to wonder about the coil pack and/or module.  I bought the module from NOS4GN approximately 3 years ago.  I'll check things out Sunday.   :x

And im not convinced that a dirty air filter could cause this(because mine is dirty)

unlikely that is your problem, imo, but..measure the resistance across the terminals on each coil....should be 11-13,000 ohms

Do you have spark?  Do you have fuel pressure?  You probably don't have a noid light so you cannot tell if you have injector pulse.

If you have spark, pull the hose off the throttlebody and spray some carb cleaner pass the butterfly.  then crank it.  Does it try to run?

A really dirty air filter can make one run like crap

Luckily, i do have a noid light!!  Sitting in my glove compartment. As mentioned earlier, I was going to go through the no start tree on your website. Never used the noid light, nor have I ever removed the connector to the injectors.  This will be a first. Any chance of unplugging the MAF translator to see if its an issue? I run the resistance across the coil pack.  Thanks
