Ok so it is finally solved One of the plugs was no bueno. :oops: I also added a hefty ground going from the coil pack bracket to the firewall for safe measure. Car runs like a damn beast now!!!! I knew it was something stupid lol Thanks to everyone for all the help. It was...

Drove the car for about 10 miles today and it was progressively gettijg worse. WHen I got home I checked the ecu and it was burning hot. I could have fried an egg on it. I am not over exaggerating. .

Yeah its possible the chip is bad.

Swapped ecus. No difference.

Ok thanks. I am headed over to nick's in just a little bit. Hopefully we make some progress. And it gets at least 115 degrees on the outside. I held my digital thermometer in it for like 10 seconds and it quickly maxed it out. My guess is that it was somewhere around 120-125 after 10 minutes...

in the first and last pic you can see that one area in the middle that looks melted or distorted.

I think I narrowed down my problems to my ecu It was modified by Bob for low-z injectors a little while back. The car never really ran correctly afterwards so I think my ecu has been bad the entire time maybe? The ecu gets extremely hot after just 10 minutes of running so something is wrong...

Well I just pulled the ecu out to check for anything fishy. The ecu was really hot after only a few minutes of running I tried getting an accurate temp and it maxed out my digital thermometer. I am going to assume this is not normal??? Nick has a spare so I will take it to him and see if...

cam sensor adjusted absolutely no change in running condition

Haha. I'm actually adjusting it now. Thanks for the encouragement though.

I considered doing it myself but didnt want to botch anything up.

Tried and no movement.

Ok well I know nick has the caspers tool. Maybe i will see about just bringing it to him one of these days and verifying that it is correctly adjusted. I need to bring it to him to test fp while driving anyways Do the cam sensors get out of adjustment frequently on these cars?

had the ign module tested today to try and do some more elimination. It tested good. this car is weird with cam sensor plugged in it idle and drives extremely lean unplug it and its rich sometimes and lean at others I am going to check plugs next, even though they are new then i guess...

Got them from racetronix a few months ago. They have no more than maybe 500 miles on them. Believe they are Siemens.

Ill see if nick maybe has some spare injectors laying around. These injectors are brand new so I will be slightly mad if that is the case.

popped the cam cap off. Doesnt look like there is much that can go wrong??? that piece is solid and definitely still connected.

no I havent done that yet. i got it running better now, the ic hose popped off. With the cam sensor unplugged it runs noticeably better. Not great, but better. Nick suggested that I replace cap

i am about ready to take this car to a shitty neighborhood and leave the keys on the roof fixed a few vacuum leaks found out one of the spark plug wires wasnt fully on one of the coil posts took it out for a spin and ran like absolute dog shit I tried getting on it for a brief second and a...
