Yes, I have tried everything else. First I thought it was a ground or an unplugged sensor. Check.
Then I thought it was the ecu. Got another and thats not the problem. Check.
Thought this was over my head and a professional should look at it. Took it to a dealership and in 2.5 hrs they didnt even start to crack the problem. Check.

Now I got it towed out to a buddys house again and first is going to be the fuse box. Then if its not that start to slowly rip it back apart and try to track the problem.

Yeah, it seems like a common/slim problem after a clutch install.

Good luck


Got my new pair of Potenza RE960AS on and I'm happy it rides so much better...I still need to get in to see Jeff The Alignment Guy though because Sears didn't do a very good job with the alignment and besides that, I could have Jeff take a drive in my car and listen and look to see what else is wrong (I hate ******* with suspension stuff...I've never really done anything other than a rear sway, shocks/struts/springs so most of it is new to me...especially if I'm messing with the LCA's or anything like that).

Just need to get it running, damn.

Wanna cruise up to the cities and get dyno'd with me when I get my **** running/broke in?

Just a few pics I took at the Afton Hill Climb....moving shots coming soon!

You guys missed out on a good time....Ryze (Ryan) was there and some of his buddies. They were driving a WRX wagon and Im pretty sure they had the fastest time of the day.

Yeah it was a fun time, unfortunately I didn't drive, just kevin and kyle.
We didn't stay around for the times at all, but that would be sweet if they got fastest times.. Kevin was doing almost 85mph up the hill!

LOL SWEET.. yeah, that car is a beast for a wagon, 385ftlb of torque to go uphill helps.

also has great tires, and crappy but stiff suspension

Is there a website or anything for the hill climb? I'm pretty sure until recently I've never heard anything about it...I'd be interested in trying it just to see...even though I don't have any power, it would be fun to see how I do.

no website for the climb...It gets emailed out to past participators and posted in a few forums...so it fills up super quick. Only about 25% or so of the cars can be modern and of those spots most of them fill up with guys that autox and or do track days through out the year.
