still having a little trouble...

[rb240det]

Well found out that the spring at the end of my coilpack (underneath the boot) managed to disappear. So in turn my car ran like absolute crap since the coilpack wasn't making contact with the spark plug. So I fixed that and decided to give her another try. It ran a lot better, but when I start hitting about 2,600rpm and up it gets very sluggish...almost like it's pulling timing. I'm actually not getting the knock code anymore (34)...the ECU is telling me all clear (55). Sooo...any thoughts on the matter? Maybe spark plugs are really fouled from running so rich with the missing spark plug? I pulled them earlier and they didn't look that bad...obviously been in there several weeks but nothing that looked bad enough to be doing this. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on...any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

get a timing gun on it and check timing........could possibly be a dodgy ect sensor as they tend to fade out rather than out right die.

Yeah I'll be home tomorrow so I can check timing while I'm there. Pretty sure I replaced the ECT sensor not too long after I got the car so that should be fine. I dunno...I'll let you guys know more tomorrow. Thanks for the help though!
