Okay, so I got into a small wreck 3 weeks ago that totalled my suspension, i have pictures, the T/C rod snapped, the control arms bent, the rear strut went kaboom. Anyhoo, fixed all that, only took me a good 13 hours to do. Felt good afterwards. I also not only had to replace the suspension but I also had to get new rims, so I talked to a local import shop and managed to get the guy to bring the price of the Nippon Racing Type-C (the SSR looking ones) from $1200 down to $650, as the rims have been sitting there for about 1 year with no sale.

Anyway, so today after finally getting those damned tuner lugs and putting my rims on finally I took my baby out for a ride. Everything was running perfect, the turbo was spooling just right, everything. Got her some 91 octane and went home. On the way home the whore decided to stop running. It started sputtering like as if an intercooler pipe came off. So I figure okay, i've dealt with this before. So I go check it out. Nothing, not the intercooler pipes.

The following is what I've ruled out:-Fuel pump, it's still working. Fuel is still getting to the injectors because I pulled the fuel filter hose and gas was being pumped out. -Injectors, the car starts but then starts to roughly idle and die.-Sparks, if the car starts, these suckers are working-Bad gas, I'm a Texahoe user

What else could it be? It was running fine and seriously the next second it dies. AGH! So now it's sitting in the parking lot of a supermarket. *sigh*
