Let it sit some more, it's been well over a month now. Still don't have the motivation to diagnose the issue since I'm almost positive I know what it is(TB skipped). In the mean time my WRX has been extremely reliable, wish I could say the same for my Talon... :(
 
looked at it nd wished I had xray vision so I could see how many valves bent when the TB broke.

If its a manual, usually its all of them. Auto, the torque converter stops the engine instantly. Ive never seen bent valves with an Auto, but thats just my experience with them.

And you did this because why?
 
Got my all the sound deadening off the floors, sanded, primed and painted them also.
Also got my rear bumper off and found out that the car was in a fender bender at some point. Some of the sheet metal is dented ever so slightly but nothing some hammer love won't fix.

Today I was coming back home from school and a Dodge diesel truck blew some puffs of black smoke on the side of me and I went into "Oh yeah??? I have an HX35 too!" mode and proceeded to leave him in the dust:tease:.
