Update : I decided to try the easiest solution and bought spark plug wires, It worked the engine ran better but it would still die unless i gave it gas. I had the fan going at 4 so i turned it off and started the car. The car idled high so i adjusted it back down to were it was orignaly and it has ran great since ... lol every weird. Every time i park i have to take the ground off the battery ( my radiator relay is ****ed) but soon i will have a new one thanks to V2Rocket_aka944 saved me this time ^.^

I suggest getting a vacuum gauge and attaching it to the bypass valve vacuum port and see what you get. My car when I got it had like 7" of vacuum, due to all the busted vacuum lines. Now its pulling 16" or so (before I pulled the intake and replaced everything under there as well... now it should have more vacuum)

Mine is now being pressed in to transport duty for the disabled. I wonder how many dirty looks we'll get for this...?

But really, it's the only car left that'll swallow a wheelchair... there's no way in hell we're doing this in the Miata!

Now that's something you don't see everyday! It has to be interesting parking in handicap spot in a sports car.

It was actually kind of annoying years ago when I did that for about a week after shattering my left knee. I was able to start bearing weight on my leg and the 944's clutch was much lighter than my then-Jetta's cable-operated clutch. People really gave me dirty looks until they saw the crutches...

Well, the parking part wasn't annoying... just stupid people who assume that since it's a sports car then everyone must be healthy.

Needless to say, my wife kept insisting that I don't remove the tag until we had already driven away!

had a giant screw in my tire, took it to kal tire ( closest ) they destroyed 3 of my lug nuts >.< then said my tire was no good and had to be replaced. I then threw the tire into my vw and took it to a local shop repaired a patch and then patched the hole from the screw and balanced it for me for free


I just repaired my passenger side seat belt it would not retract >.< took it apart lubed it a little now it works great.

Friday:

FInished installing the rebuilt brake calipers and the power steering rack modified to manual set up (no more leaks ). Continued working on the interior swap.

Today:

Changed the fluid in the tranny. PO had the clutch done prior to my purchase and had stated his mechanic had changed the tranny fluid while it was out. Lesson learned...always reverify PO info:

as the guy in the comercial says: "change your oil".

Came out looking like coffee. Good thing I have a spare tranny from the parts car for down the road. Sorry for the iphone pic.
