Well guys, its official I now own a home and 10 acres.

 

 

Thanks I have a sick truck though, I have coils, spark plugs, and injectors to put in hopefully it will solve my misfire under slight load.

 

you'll love doing the plugs!

 

Sweet....

 

Its really not bad, I have done 3 plug changes on the 3v 5.4s and have been pretty lucky so far. I have a few tricks to get it done with not much blood sweat or tears hopefully. I have changed them once before so I am thinking they should come out easier if all goes well. That and I worked the truck hard for 600 miles pulling trailers with OD off trying to make sure to help burn out any build up on top of using fuel system cleaners.

 

Thanks pretty excited but now all the real fun and expense begins.

 

awesome!!!

 

Thanks I am pretty excited, I see plenty of projects in my future. It has a 40'x80' machine shed with concrete floor

 

Hows it going fellers!?

 

Hows it going?












I managed to get my plugs, coils, injectors and oil changed out yesterday in about 3 1/2 hours. It all went smooth and I found the cause of the misfire.



I have never saw a plug so bad before in my life. It only had 30,000 on the plugs. Truck runs like it should and I now have piece of mind again. It just makes me cringe to think that the piece had to of broke off and passed through the motor. Luckily it didn't hang in the cylinder or on a valve.

 

Ouch.....that would definitely cause a missfire

 

thats messed up...

 

ya you never want to see that come out of your motor.

 

Wow....it's been 2 months since someone has posted in this thread!


Sold the WRX STi and picked up a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek this past Tuesday. Loved the STi....but didn't like how expensive it was to own it. Insurance, Gas, Maintenance, and monthly payment are all cheaper now with this new vehicle.

I have accepted an offer on a house - so will be moving out of my apt at the end of June. The home inspection process is next week Thursday - so as long as that's all good - the house is mine!

Hope everyone is doing well.
