alright this bull****,
its not starting. i checked compression: #1) 130psi, #2,#3,#4) 135psi...seems okay to me!
i'm getting fuel, spark plugs are a little wet. threw back the stock fpr just for startability first and still no luck. my ignitor module might be the problem now cause its not letting off any spark at all, it was before but it looked weak. its not amplifying the spark. my coil pack is brand spankin new, resistance checked good, and i just replaced it right before the conversion, so its gotta be that damn ignitor.

btw, what cylinders were misfiring? check your entire circuit to make sure you're good. i checked mine so all i gotta blame is that ignitor. i got so mad troubleshooting at one point, i just wanted to fly my aeromotive fpr into the wall and watch it explode into millions of pieces. but i kept my 'frustration' (AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!) in check.

i had a misfire in cylinder 2. we (me and ****) pulled spark plug from said cylinder and the electrode was about the size of the head of a needle. wires to the coil packs and packs themselves were good. LUCKILY i got the last four good spark plugs from checkers at 845 at night. so we committed at changed the plugs, and the car is a champ. my only expertise is in the powertrane.

i gotta wax it real good first, jon. in fact, i want a good one with all the generations altogether. from GC (D, E/F-series), GD (bug-eye, peanut-eye, hawk-eye), and GR ('08). i doubt someone has a white '08 STi in here, but i could be wrong. and last, i want us all to be white cars. not trying to be discriminating, but i love white subies (josh, you're in). i just gotta get off work for a meet one day/night.
