  1. I have a never installed kit for sale if anyone is looking for one: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/victoria-bc-canada-uppipe-pitch-stop-injectors-bulletproof-kit-misc-259042.html?p=5553249#post5553249
  2. I'll try to get a log this weekend. Usually it's only noticable at idle and heavy load/full throttle. I haven't driven the car hard since it started, and if I feel a misfire I back off on the throttle. Driving around town is fine. What should I log? Knock count/sum, roughness, anything else?
  3. Maybe you guys can help me out. My car is an 05 LGT. There is a stumble at idle and at heavy throttle. I bought the car last year, it had a burnt valve and the dealership rebuild both heads before I purchased it. I plugged in my laptop and ran Romraider to log. #2 cylinder has roughness, usually maxing out around 10. No codes are showing. Cleaned the MAF sensor awhile ago. Car is stock aside from an AEM dryflow intake filter replacement. New battery and had the alternator rebuilt 2 weeks ago. I just swapped coils between cylinder #2 and #3. Roughness stayed on cylinder #2, so I figure it's likely not the coils then. What should I do next? Replace the spark plugs? I don't know if the dealer put new ones in when they rebuilt the heads. Otherwise, is the next likely cause the injector? I can swap those between cylinders to see if it moves. Any help would be appreciated, this is frustrating. Aside from the stumble, the car runs well. Doesn't burn oil between changes, same gas mileage as it has always been.

  5. does the car still store a code even if the check engine light hasn't come on?
  6. So last night I started the car up, and it was stumbling a lot at idle, and the check engine light and cruise light came on. Don't have a code reader, and I found a thread about the gas cap, so I made sure it was tight, then pulled the positive battery terminal. Started back up, seemed ok, no check engine light. Now this morning on my way to work, it was stumbling at idle, and it almost stalled a few times, but still no check engine light. Any ideas? Seems like the common issues are ignition coils and/or fuel injectors, how do you tell which is the problem? I have an appointment with the local dealer on Saturday. I bought the car from them, and they had fixed both heads due to a burnt valve before I bought it. Now I am worried that they never fixed the original problem and it's going to happen again, and with no warranty it won't be cheap.
