    it doesnt' sputter under boost @ all, its fine post 3.5K it only really seems to act up on part throttle, there is no throttle response worth a **** & it was difficult to keep running @ a stop. im not being hard on the engine @ all during this symptom as thats not well advised.

    david, I could probably agree with the piston factor, unless it was on all 4 pistons. then it could have been torn apart & possibly had a improper headgasket replacement

      Booo!

      Yes Ryan it is all pistons... rather shiny.

      I think I shall exchange the BP with the BP I got from Jay, the week of the Spring Meet. Thank again for the call on that Saturday, I was surprized. Sorry the interferance was so bad for me to understand you. As for me I'm misunderstood under most conditions, lol.

      I pulled parts from Jim's old donator EGT body, He's a great guy.

      The Gas door cleaned up well.

        Change your plug wires, and check the couplings on your piping. You could have a boost leak.

          extremely doubtful a boost leak would randomly happen after a engine bay wash. Im going to test the plugs first & if it runs on other plugs fine, i'll replace the plugs im hoping it isn't the wires, ordering new ones could take awhile

            If you did have a boost leak it could of let water get into the piping? And as far as wires go I use Accel from a Honda H22 motor. Pepboys always has them on the shelf and there $50. Threre 8mm wires and they work great on my msd ignition. Model 7912Y

              I will have to keep that in mind. I'm coming due for some. Did you have to modify anything to use them? Did they come with a coil wire? I had accell thundersports on my old pro. Those were for a scort gt.

                  I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

                      tonight i replaced the coil, distributer, & cleaned the plugs. still not sure whats up, it runs alot better with the coil & disty, but still sputters. tommorow i'll check out other plugs.
                      did you check the VAF harness? If water gets on the pins it'll run hella weird at low RPMs... I know this from personal experience.

                              Got Screwed

                              This is the little latch that holds the seatback bottom secure, I broke one when I was getting the LX interior for our 323, well I nearly ****, 31 Bucks with Tax from the dealer, I paid the guy 50 Bucks for the front and rear seats. I figured if they charged me 10 bucks for the latch it would still be too much. Damn stealerships.
