  1. Misfiring, check engine on. CEL showed cylinder 4. Replaced plug and plug wires. No help. Had ignition coil changed. That did the trick.
  2. I know more about my CD changer than I cared to earlier. After eliminating everything, I decided the top CD slot cover (covers the CD slot) was jammed in the platic groove of one of the plastic columns. That did the trick! Finally am set up 1.5 weeks later. The only issue now is why the sound amplification is not as high as I wanted, but the sound is clean and nice, and satellite radio, radar detector, and iPhone are wired for power and sound directly with hidden wires. Nice. Do this install carefully. I will look up the amplification issue.
  3. I too a very close look a the loader mechanism, and it looks like the plastic piece might have a piece that broke off on the initial load when I heard that little snap. Net, net, I have ordered a used CD unit through a junkyard. Hope I am all set by the end of the week.
  4. Actually the fuse is fine, the radio shack 3 into 1 outlet expander is what shorted. Back to square 1. If anyone has any thoughts on the load button not working, please contact me or post. Thanks!
  5. I realized I had shorted the fuse related to my armchair cubby hole when testing with a voltmeter. I did nor think it would be related to my dashboard cD player, but maybe it is. Hopefullly replacing this fuse also gets my CD loader motor working. I will let you all know. Now I have to identify the right fuse; the armchair outlet is not called out in the manual if I recall.
  6. I have the exact same issue. I have done everything, including splicing my wire into my car charger successfully, but the CD player failed to load afer counting the CDs. I have connected the grounding cable in the back (both ways) and I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting a few times. The CD player counted the CD slots as described but did make a strange click on the 5th or 6th CD, although the player was empty of any Cds as per instructions. I will try taking apart the player again tonight, and re-put together and hope the CD player starts working so I can use my iphone and satellite directly wired to my stereo. But any suggestions? Thank in advance all. L
  7. After stage 1, I will do it. Loooking forward to it once I save some money.
  8. I just went stage 1 tonight.. I am impressed. The car handles well as well; I am coming from a Saab 9-3, so stock LGT is a different level suspension. Still, I am curious about a rear sway bar. Rallitek sells three rear sway bars. Is the Japan 20mm rear sway the one for our wagon?
  9. Thanks. I am about to remap to Stage 1 Cobb 91 today. I have read on the boards that the ideal suspension upgrade for my model in Boston is the JDM rear sway bar + Bilstein struts+STI pink springs. I think I will slowly try to buy these.
  10. I have spent hours in the last week reading this forum on suspension and the Cobb AP maps. Funny enough I was washing my car today and using Armorall to wipe the interior down, and an Audi quattro 3.0 wagon pulls up next to mine. A bad ass car you can tell immendiately. The fact that that I can upgrade my car to compete both for power and handling, with less weight of course, made me feel I am going to have to get to that place where I am happy knowing I have some fairly serious capabilities hidden in the benign form factor of my car. So looking at the first link, and thanks for the information ( I hope I can do the same for a newby one day if I ever know enough), it looks like $969 for the Bilsteins and STI pink springs plus probably another $400 for the sway bars. Obviously I want to profit as much as possible from the experience of people like you. The funny thing is that I bought my car used about two months ago. It rides really low, so I wonder if the guy before me has lowered it. I will have to measure the height on level ground and comapre to others using the same tires. But the handling does not fell tight when I drive agressively.
  11. I definitely want to upgrade my suspension. I have read on my car, the best combination appears to be JDM rear sway bar plus Blistein Spec b struts and Japan STI Pink springs. I am guessing this will run me about $1,000. I will be going stage 1 next week, so I really want to get my car handling as solidly as possible for a daily driver.
  12. Won't stronger endlinks tighten my supension without completely changing the handling of the car with new sway bars.
  13. Great thread! Newby here. What if I just upgraded end links to Kartboys with Stage 1 AP upgrade as a start?
