Sounds like something is loose again since your battery is okay this time

What updates are you planning for import alliance? :twisted:

- Mon Oct 21, 2013 6:20 pm #337912 One reason why you don't buy Ebay spark plug wires... lol I got them b/c they were red and matched my car. No wonder my car was running like shit and idle was all over when an electrical load was applied..

Anyways, some neo chrome brackets showed up and some new Denso spark plug wires. Car runs soo much better..

- Wed Oct 23, 2013 6:42 pm #337981 hmmm I bought some vms 10.2 mm spark wires off ebay, do you think this would be an issue? I got my motor in and running except ignition timing adjustment, but when the heater is turned on full blast is sputters and lights start to flicker everywhere. I went back through to double check all the wiring and connectors and so far so good, and your post just clicked when you said electrical issues under load.

By Axix23
- Wed Oct 23, 2013 10:52 pm #337994 It worked fine for a few months and then idle became weird under load. Car was missfiring. I would swap them out. I didnt pass emissions either. Running the new denso wires and 100x better.




Side note, made the front sir lip fit alot better, used bolts/washers underneath vs regular oem bumper clips. Lol
