The problem has been so hit or miss that I can't even take it to a mechanic to see if they find the issue. I've ordered some new engine mounts (mine are totally shot) and will be getting a new intake tube in a week or so. I'm hoping the hole in that tube and my incompetent installation of the...

Can you PM me details about that simulator? I might be more interested in simulating that secondary O2 sensor more than ghetto rigging the existing one.

Ok, awesome. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I had searched for threads on how to use a non fouler on the o2 sensors and which sensor to put it on, but all I found was put it on "the sensor" so I just assumed they meant the upstream. I didn't want to be the guy starting the...

I didn't even think a factory intake would rot out like that until I went to Seafoam my car and when I poured it into the intake it immediately ran out the bottom of the tube. haha I see an eBay purchase in my near future. First I need to get the engine mounts though so I don't bang the...

I'll get some more non foulers for the downstream too then. Lol I think that's probably a good guess on the intake issues. Mine was torn on the bottom side where it goes under the strut bar and actually fell apart in my hands when I took it off to replace it. The next one I get is going to be...

I'm now at 198,000 and still going. Just got a few bugs to workout and it'll be as good as new.

Yeah, my stock intake was nearly torn in half when I bought the car. I'm not sure why these things are so hard on intakes. I'll definitely check the trans fluid later tonight when I get home from work. As for the non fouler, I have that on the upstream sensor. I wasn't sure if it needed the same...

Wow, thanks for all the thoughts guys. I'll do my best to answer them all.. There was a CEL from when I had an O2 sensor go out, I replaced the sensor and reset the ECU a few days ago. I've driven enough to have the light come back on if it was going to and it hasn't. The plugs are the NGK...

Yeah, the exhaust on the car has only been on there since December, new plugs, and the problem has existed since before I put this air filter on the car. The only thing I haven't checked is a hole in the intake which doesn't make much sense because it's an aluminum intake tube but I'll check...

It started in mid October and I have been trying to find the source since then. I had thought it was going to be something simple to fix and it's been anything but simple so far.

Ok, so my P5 has had this issue for a while and I've been chasing it for months, but I haven't seemed to solve anything and if anything it's just getting worse.. My car will idle fairly well, its a little rough, not too bad though. Accelerating feels like I have a ton of bricks tied to the back...

I got mine on Amazon. Kensun 6000k low beams. No trouble with them so far. My fogs are 6000k LED bulbs from lightinthebox.com. Those aren't a good option. They're so dim that they almost look broken and the negative (normally the base of the bulb) is actually the red wire and the power is the...

I have no clue either. I've heard the guage cluster is controlled by a PCM or something like that? I had considered finding a way to hook a relay like you're saying, but I didn't want to totally ruin my gauge cluster if (or when) I did it wrong. I'm wondering if it would be possible to run a...

That's kind of what I was thinking. I think it looks awesome so I wanted to try it. I'm wondering since my car doesn't have ABS if I could hook the gauges to the ABS light somehow since it shuts off after start up.. unless the idiot lights are like the ones on my old Honda and are attached...

The mazdaspeed axle back drone can't be half as bad as my car... My first cat on my car had the studs ripped out by an idiot mechanic in November so I've been running a stock manifold and the first cat only since then until I can get a header. That is the loudest drone I've ever heard... I've...

I've been searching around and haven't seen any information on it, but was wondering if anybody had found a way (or tried anything) to get the P5 guages to sweep on start up like a 'Vette, Scuby, or crotch rocket?? I've looked at the wiring diagram for the instrument panel and did nothing but...

I'm pumped to see this build. sub

I've seafomed it and that's about as far as I've gone with cleaning. I've only got 1 cat on the car right now and that's the primary cat on the manifold. I'm leaning towards the carbon build up and/or coils because it starts the flat spotting around 3,750 and does it all the way up as far as I...

I've got 2 sets of plugs, the JDM spec plug and the USDM spec plug for it, both sets are almost brand new. I haven't replaced the coils yet though. You think that could be it?

I'm at 176k and the only issue is flat spots in the acceleration that I can't seem to figure out.
