Ok explaination of situation:
Car was running fine. Got into boost. Car suddenly had no power in low RPMs. Checked the plugs, all seemed fouled, bought new ones, made no difference. Whipped out datalogger, which said that injectors were fine, but that my engine had 0 knock until 5000 RPMs, then it had over 100. Discovered that I was only firing on cylinders 4 and 2. Thought it was possibly the ignition coil, bought one, replaced the first coil pack, made no difference. Switched the new one with the second coil pack, still made no difference. (Which makes sense since the first one runs 4 and 1, the second runs 2 and 3.
So, what are the chances that both coil packs crapped out at the same time? Or is it my ignition module?
Also...my car suddenly has a huge smoking problem. It's always smoked blue smoke out the exhaust a little, but not this bad. And now, when I shift at about 5 grand, a huge puff of blue smoke comes out from under my hood. Then when I stop, oil is dripping slowly under the car. Is this because of the 2 cylinders that aren't working?
