the times we've met up we kinda just get there on our own and set a place to park
 
this is my last weekend to party for about a month so I'll be at racelegal from 630 to 830. I know is a lot earlier than usual but Ive got plans in PB tonight, hopefully I see some of you guys tonight. Alex I still plan on you rolling with me I just hope you can make the 630 time?
 
How crowded does it usually get down there? How many runs do you usually get in. I am a little nervous to drive all the way down there and break if I run it too many times. I haven't taken it to the track yet. I would just hate to get stranded. I may rent a trailer and haul it down to be safe. IDK yet.

gets pretty busy but its in qualcomms parking lot, theres an AMPLE amount of parking available. As far as racing goes tech opens at 1800 ;) and you can do as many runs as you'd like until midnight. just run it 3 or 4 times then hang out with us chilling in the parking lot. it won't break if you do the proper oil/coolant maintenance and we can fix the basic stuff. hope to see you there man.

:dsm:
 
Alright, I am checking with my babysitter and if she is still good to watch my son I am coming. I can't wait b/c I have no idea what this thing is gonna do. Especially with an exhaust leak. Oh well guess we'll see. Look forward to meeting you guys.

What bar you going to?
 
Welcome! What's your name? Tell us about yourself! You certainly have found the right place to learn hehe.
 
Where was everyone last night? I only saw one other DSM in the parking lot but it wasn't racing. Maybe next race we can get a group together and go.
 
Yea, that was me I was having all kinda problems. I think my coil is going out. I kept getting misfire codes. And on the way home my RPM gauge started going nuts on me and throwing misfire codes. I'm trying to find a parts store that has coils right now. No luck so far though.

I saw you car in the parking lot and went over for a little while hoping to see who owned it.
 
was it just the rpm needle or your rpms in general, something similar happen to me after running at qualcomm
 
Its just the RPM needle. The car runs fine for a bit even with the gauge at 0 the I get misfire codes and the car falls on it's face. I can reset it and it will do fine for a bit then it starts acting up again.

I just don't understand it b/c I don't get misfire codes until the RPM needle goes nuts but the ECU is reading RPM's. All I can figure is it's the coil and there is some kinda connection from the coil that interfaces with the RPM gauge. IDK

My names Morgan. I've wanted an Eclipse forever and finally got one. I don't know a lot about modding or cars in general but I am very willing to learn. My GST needs some work but damn... best car I've ever driven. Currently live in the Mira Mesa area so if anyone wants to hook me up as a mentor I'd love it LOL. :thumb:
 
finally all the dsms in san diego are coming out, and any questions or any help you need i bet there is someone local that can help

yeah i had the same probleb and on mine it was this sensor that sits in the intake mani behind the injectors i think its called power transistor, ill double check and let you know
 
Thanks I would appreciate it. The more I research the more I think that is it, but I'm not sure where to get one. Should AutoZone or Kragen have this or is it a dealer item?
 
I got mine from a fellow dsmer, a junk yard would be a good place to look. I can ask around, if I find something I'll pm you
 
Good news. The 4 individuals who broadsided my wife last week and ran on foot has been caught and arrested. I just got back to SD today and seen the pics for the fist time, I was surprised anyone survived
 
I sent a request to one of those junkyard locators, but if anyone around has one or knows where one is please let me know. Thanks guys
