I have had my car diagnosed with coil pack problems, and thanks to lsbit, I will be tackling that myself, as opposed to spending, oh I think the dealer wanted upwards of $1,700 on discount to replace all 8. hmm, I think I'll save just a bit doing it myself. Anyways. I have another problem with my car, and wanted to know if it was related at all. Whenever I am using the SST and I bring the car close to redline, twice now the car has totally shut off, and taken about 5 minutes( which on a 6 lane road in the middle of rush hour feels like 4 weeks) to turn back on. I twist the key, and no turn over, but all electronics work. And besides these two instances, there have been numerous times when instead of shutting off, it seems like the throttle releases and the revs go down even if the pedal is still depressed. When this happens and the car doesn't just shut off completely, I let off the gas, and then start accelerating at a normal rate, and everything is hunkydory. Needless to say, I rarely get a chance to really use the SST and never wring the car out on roads for fear of ruining something. Anybody hear of this before?
