I just installed a new coil pack and drove the car around, ran fine, park it for a couple of hours went to start it again and no start, looked under the hood and found the new coil pack had a crack/split at the top. engine cranks over no start and no RPMs on tach. What would cause the coil...

I have a similar issue, I have finally got the car to run pretty good, although when I get on it, it seems to take forever to shift and when it does shift it is very hard, sometimes chirps the tires, but the car will not do a burnout from a standstill.? when I got the car a few years ago the guy...

Take a volt meter and check the resistence across the coil. I did this with the new one (at the kitchen table) I got from advanced auto. All read the exact same number around 13. I went out to the car and did the same thing and two of them read up around sixteen and the last one had no reading...

I'm certainly no expert, but with all the reading and research I have done lately it might be your Ignition module.

Thanks Man, always looking to get my car to run a little smother/faster. Look forward to your next post

Have you guys figured it all out yet ? , I really want to order one of these ALDL adapters if I can get it to help out. Thanks for your feedback.

Check your coil pack, I tested my coil pack and one tower was dead. I replaced the coil pack along with the 7.5 amp fuse that kept blowing with the old coil and it fired up immediately.

Same problem here, ready to change coil pack. Where is the spark control module and how do you test?

Thanks Guys, I will update my sig and identify any upgrades I know of. I will check the wastegate puck, and I do have an aftermarket boost gauge and a AFR gauge on the pillar. It does build some boost while power braking. I will shoot a little video and repost with more info. Like I mentioned I...

Anybody got anything ? was I to vague ?

When I tromp on it accelerates decent and will bang/chirp the tires when shifting into second gear and shifts smooth into 3 rd. and fourth ok. But car will not burn out from a standstill. When I bought it a couple of years ago the guy said it had a shift kit and a higher stall converter...

www.hydratechbraking.com Here is the website and their customer service was good, take a look at their units "pretty nice". good luck, I'm glad that brake issue is behind me.

Just my two cents worth. Last year a finally purchased a new custom Hydroboost unit from "Hydratech " after ordering and installing a remand unit from cardone and installing it it still didn't work. I then rebuild the original with a rebuild kit to no avail again. What a pain in the a...s...

Car runs decent although a little rough, I don't think it be run on 4 cylinders. One on the wet plugs barely had the spark plug wire attached, I think it was number #6 (passenger side rear plug). Any way to check if all plugs are firing ? I replaced the wires when doing the plugs, car ran the...

What can you tell from these plugs, see attached pics. Two of them were wet the other four dry and off tan/rust colored r.

Great idea, why didn't I think of that...... Thanks guys, I feel better now taking it for a cruze.

Charlie, Thank you, that's exactly what I did... used a impact, then I put on a 1/2" rachet and 18mm socket a reefed it again. All the google searches and videos for other makes a models mostly showed a castle nut and a cotter pin. I didn't want the dam thing coming loose, I will probably add...

Any one ? I can post a pic of it installed or move this post into the steering/suspension forum, maybe that would be more appropiate

Over this past weekend I replace my idler Arm with one purchased from Kirbans. Fairly straight forward, although how far do you tighten the nut down to the stud that comes from the center link to idler arm connection. I s there a certain distance the stud should be showing ? it is not a castle...

Toby, thanks for all the feedback. I agree and plan on doing most of what you had mentioned, although right now I'm installing new shocks, rear springs, plugs, wires, & idler arm, Trying to tighten her up a little, suspension wise. Next 500.00 bucks or so will go for newer ECM, chip and scan...
