First move is fire bombing this piece of horse ****.
Already ******* problems. The coil pack that came with the car was on its way out after checking it. Car sputtered a bit when driving, the tach was erratic and the damn thing barely started without flooring it. I got a new coil pack, installed it correctly, put new plugs in, changed the plug wires and installed a new fuel pump.
Same damn problem and these coil packs are brand new OEM units that I tested again and they are perfect. I checked the wiring to the coil packs to the tach - no issues found. The car is a 94 so the tach signal is shared with the coil packs. The wiring on the car looks like its never been tampered with ASIDE from the horrendous fecal job the previous refugee owner attempted at the MAF.
I re-did the wiring properly and still the issue persists. I disconnected the MAF and the car still runs like sputtering anus. I checked the Intake Manifold for Vac leaks and nothing.
So as of right now, the new NA has me really accepting the fact that I am indeed the definition of insane.

No what Ive learned is during times like these, im not gonna anger myself and continue to mess with it. Im takin it to ryans (gdnimrod) shop and letting him screw with it.
