haha oh welcome back then chris. sucks to be you LOL

as for the OP's problem, I'd start by using an obd2 scanner tool to log sensor data, make sure everything is kosher under the hood and all your sensors read properly. after you know the controls are good, move to the mechanical side of things, check your cam timing (timing belt), fuel pressure, ignition timing, and spark quality (nice hot blue spark). if all those check out, and you are certain there is no restrictions in your exhaust (like a squirrel made a home in your exhaust sorta thing).... then your car is just a dog LOL j/k unbolt the exhaust just after the cat and drive to car, verify that your exhaust is not the problem. if you do all those things, you're golden. usually exhaust restrictions (kinked pipe, foreign objects, etc.) show up as 4000+ rpm gutlessness.

It very well could be my mindset, the cx was tougher lower end but this thing pulls alot harder up top, I'll change the fuel filter anyways then do the timing, Thanks ladies! :P

a good way to know if it's your mindset or not.. is your mileage. What kinda mileage are you getting to the tank?

i bet on the plug wires....like a mechanic can tell the wires are worn...."they are still clean...so they must be good"

well if they don't arc and the resistance checks out, you can tell if they are good or not..

But I highly doubt he did that.

imported_bananax

pretty sure he checked for arc, is that when he sprays water mist around? :P lolol


anyways, I'm getting roughtly 425k/fill up which leaves me with about 8-9l(when I fill up I'm putting in between 34-37l , so I'd say easily 500k per tank
