Within the first 2 weeks it started running only on 5 for a bit. Then never happened again. Started diagnosing and found the det sensor was shot. Bypassed it for a bit and did a relocate. Then ohmed the injectors to find only 1 was in spec. That winter, pulled the plenum, replaced the injectors with good used OEMs, did water jacket bypass and a ton of clean up items. Got it running well while in stock shape. Then I started modding. Blew up the original engine in 2008, swapped in a JDM while I did a build. Swapped the built motor in 2011. Been a constant battle with the engine coming out twice since then (threads for head bolt stripped the first time, oil blockage this time in the VTC passage). Hopefully this is the last pull for years. Love the car still.
