I quoted/called first lol

Yes, we/I would like to know the price And sorry to hear that your life is moving too fast... Or maybe its a glad to hear?

A few things to check... 1) Your system standby/shutdown times for XP... All the power saving features 2) Doesnt the P/S have a mode that allows it to remain on and off for certain periods of time, some type of software or something that you can access all those features through. You might try that out and see if there is something in there.

Looks like this is the setup I want to get... Just dont have the funds yet lol How does the computer do speed wise. I'm looking at running MP3's while doing nav... But overall I'm looking to get nav, bluetooth phone connection, sirius radio, mp3's and dvd... Possibly OBDII in the future, but that'll be later. I was looking at the http://store.mp3car.com/VIA_C7_2_0GHz_Processor_Mini_ITX_Express_p/mtb-022.htm 2ghz mini-itx one...

Well lets see... Minus all my car stereo stuff which I financed with the car or had previously... And not counting oil changes. Used AP - $350 Used STi - UP pipe $45 New gaskets for UP pipe - $35 Gutting OEM DP - Free 2 fuel injectors (thought one was going bad cause the CEL kept getting thrown) - $85 New headlight bulbs when old ones burnt out - $50 Spark Plugs - $50 Fiberglass and resin for speakerboxes... - $200 and probably more that I cant think of atm... lol At least $765ish... lol Edit: Hogzaust - $2 - spare washers as well for more hogzaust goodness... lol

An old one, at least for me... President Bush and Colin Powel are sitting at a restaurant eating and discussing the war, plans, etc. They get into a very heated argument, so they call a waiter over. Bush: "Alright, we have this little problem. I think we should invade Iraq and kill 50,000 of their people and a guy on a bicycle... Colin here doesn't agree. What do you think?" Waiter: "Why the hell do you wanna kill a guy on a bicycle?" Bush: "See Colin, I told you!!! No body gives a damn about the 50,000 Iraqi's, they care about the guy on the bicycle!" Sorry if anyone takes offense to that... I figure its just funny, not political or anything... So keep it as a joke

Check all your hoses everywhere. Make sure they are on solid and are not leaking. It could be a vacuum leak. An easy way to test for it is to have a can of starter fluid and start spraying near the hoses to see if you can find a leak. If the engine rev's while your spraying it somewhere then you have a leak or the hose isnt on properly. Hopefully that'll fix you up. If not, other people may have ideas

lol... I havent had one of those yet, but looks like its a pretty common thing. Now that I've said that though, Im gonna have that error. Its so expensive to fix too

I'm trying to diagnose that as the "no joke, for sure" problem, which is why I'd rather keep it on the front, even though it idles like crap. That way when the CEL gets thrown, it should read a different cylinder misfire and I'll garuantee that's the problem. I'd rather not spend money I dont have to... lol

Did you idle really rough during that time as well? Its really wierd, it was idling slightly rough before I switched the injector to the front, now it idles like it just wants to die/blow up on me. I'm thinking the code is going to get thrown here within a few days or so. Where did you get your injectors from? And stock injectors should be just fine unless I'm going to go crazy mod happy(which wont happen any time soon) correct?

I switched the cylinder 4 injector with the one right in front of it last night and I'm idling a LOT rougher than I was previously. It hasnt thrown a CEL yet, but I'm leaning towards the injector being bad you think? And just a quick question, was it bad not to drain the fuel first? I didnt do that :S

Yea, I was gonna throw some injector cleaner in there, but I guess I'll just try and switch it around and see if the code moves with it. From what I've read, it sounds like its the easiest part to swap/test. I already changed the plugs, so I'm leaning towards them not being the issue (even though I didnt check the gaps on a gapper, I did check them vs the old plugs though and it looked good there). That rear coil pack is a PITA to get out, lol... But I did get it done, so if I gotta do it again at least I have the experience. If it turns out to be the injector, I guess I'll have to buy a new one, where did you get yours and do you know anywhere that would be cheaper/est...

The code pops up randomly too from what I've noticed. It did just fine for 300 miles one time, now it went off at about 50 miles or so... Im wondering if one or the other is going bad, or if its just completely bad now...

Ok... Bringing this back to life... I've been having a cylinder 4 misfire for about 900 miles now. I replaced the spark plugs 3 days ago and I still have the same error. I guess for troubleshooting sake should I swap injectors first to see if that will fix it? What about that fuel additive "Injector cleaner" would that do anything for it? Or should I just bite the bullet and get a new injector? Also, cylinder 4 is the drivers side rear correct?

I bow to the maker of hogzaust... WOW... I was sceptical, but I just did it this evening and I cant stop grinning... It sounds amazing! And the girlfriend even likes it... Thats a huge bonus right there Mad props to you hogmeat! Thanks for the best $2 mod in the world!

Yes, the faster you can go from 0-60 the better... and even better from 60-100 if you need to pass on those 2 lane roads... So, the infatuation with HP and speed before being safe, I see it... I am one of those complete radical fools, but hey... someday I will grow out of it, maybe...
