Time to bust out the trusty "multi-meter" and hit up all the sensors and see if everything is responding like it should. It's the only way you're truly going to find out.

Right now I'm hating it because the fucking wheel hub on my 4- lug car is not fucking coming off so I can put the 5-lug hub from my other car on it.

I hate mine since I have spent 9g's on it in the past month and it is not yet on the road. Plus the stresses of pulling 9g's out of your ass when you dont even have a job. How is it possible? I dont know?

Thin line between love and hate and my car is all the proof I need. I hate it when its broke and love it once I fix it. Funny that everytime it causes me stress I think about selling it to get a new car. Last thing that made me hate it was a broken wheel spacer.

well lets see in the past month I have delt with some pretty aggravating issue's with my car and I have wanted to drive it into a wall. First it was detonating at 10psi, I have friends who run 14psi on stock sidemount with no detonation. Then it started breaking up under boost, even at 6 psi. So I spent the $800 for a RSPL FMIC and installled it hoping it would solve all my probs.... WRONG. Still breaking up. Replaced everything, one by one. Plugs, Ignitor, ECU, MAFS, Knock, Coilpacks, pulled the harness and continuity tested every wire, checked for boost leaks, I mean everything! ARRRGGHHH! Then I developed a dash cluster light problem... they stay on even when the key is out. Took a few days to figure out my rusted battery tray rusted apart where the ground wire was... fixed that, no more lights. Then I noticed that my battery was going dead when the car was left sitting for a few days... voltage draw, all while the car doesnt even run right. Then I go to my appointment for my ac to be fixed and we get it working but the duct temps are poor and they can't tell me why. So I spent money to have ac and it doesnt even work right....Then my damn auto seatbelt on the drivers side stopped working so now I am not even safe behind thew wheel but that dosnt matter because I cant even floor my car without backfires and black smoke! ARRRRGGHHHH I HATE YOU CAR DIE DIE DIE....

After a month of wanting to murder the car I finally figured out the break up problem.... get this, the maf connector... yes the plastic connector! I removed the wires from the connector and plugged them directly into the maf itself and voila! Runs perfectly! The voltage draw is not so simple, it goes away when I pull the room lamp fuse under the dash however, that fuse somehow controls my dash clock, and my radio. Well I could care less about the clock so I hotwired the radio to another fuse, and I put a flashlight in my car

I can honestly say that after being so aggravated with this car, all those feelings go away when you get them solved. You forget that you were ever mad and you'll smile from ear to ear the first time you go through the gears fast, or slide around your favorite corner.
