Turbo Problem?

Well something happened and now my car, when i try to hit it the rpm needle gets to 4k and the whole car just starts stuttering and backfiring and the rpm needle bounces between 3.5k and 4k. anyone know the issue...? :hs:

 

Year of car, model, mileage, mods would help

 

2002 WRX 82,XXX. Just a big 16g, Injen CAI, 3" turbo back and tuned on ecutek a few months ago

 

my best guess with the info given would be ignition misfire. 4k is near the boost building and high ignition load. i've had this problem b4 and a fresh set of plugs knocked it out.

 

Who tuned you? Are you throwing a code?



Huh same exact setup I have pretty much!

 

I had the exact same problem when I had a bad/broken plug. My guess would be it is either a bad plug or a bad coil pack.

 

doug at topspeed tuned it my CE was blinking for about 4-5 seconds and it is NOT on.

and thats one hell of a coincidence cuz my wrx is sedona red too lol and are u the guy with the gold subzeros? if so, i got the same exact wheels on mine lol

 

missfire.

 

damn i just called Subaru of Gwinnett and the total with 4 coils and 4 plugs = $520+ :eek3: anywhere i can get em for cheaper...?

 

You can get the NGK plugs at Advance Auto Parts

try www.fredbeansparts.com

They always have cheap prices on parts and great service.

EDIT : They have the ignition coils for $71.99 each.

Got to Advance and pickup four NGK Platnium plugs for about $40 and you will be good to go

 

A little off topic but what did you put to the wheels after your tune?

 

288awhp / 271awtq

EDIT: eBay FTW! $80 for 4 coil packs

 

Excellent deal !

 

+1 for www.fredbeansparts.com picked some coils up from there a couple of months ago cheapest I could find.

EDIT: good find
