Its Lowered (pix)

I just got er' lowered yesterday. H&R's and Illumina's.

I got a 0605 (#4 misfire). Car runs like poo. Anyone that had a code like this, what was the problem. I'm going to check the coil and injector.
I have a new spark plugs, fuel filter and the TB is clean.

Update: Replaced bad injector

Another IL person

For the misfire, make sure the coil pack is connected properly. Switch the coil pack from cylinder #4 with the coil pack in #2 or #6 and see if the code switches to that cylinder. If it does then it's the coil pack that's bad.

I think the injector is bad, The meter read 8 k ohms. the coil read fine but it wouldn't hurt to switch em' around. Thanks!

Right now the shocks are (2) all around. It rides great. Pretty dam close to stock minus the bounce.

After I get the car running good I'll rip some corners and play with the settings.

I had that same problem not too long ago. I changed the coil and everything is cool now. By the way, the car looks good.

Did you have the rims on before lowering? If so, you have any pics of that?

Intake

Is that an APEXI filter? What's the filter's mounting flange inside diameter (the side on closer to the engine)?

I would have gone lower also, there is still to much gap in my opinion. But it does look better than stock.

Yes, the actual filter doesn't have a flange, only bolt holes to mount a flange. The flange was included with the kit. The outer diameter is the same as the the outer diameter on the MAF, 3 in?? The wall thickness is like 1/8" so about 2.75".

not low enough IMHO...
This was only hours after the job. Since, the springs have settled lower.
Plus, I live near Chicago and the roads suck a$$. I like my settup and that's what really matters...right.

I changed my injector and so far so good.

Lucky for us that they're repairing them, but they're so slow doing it

The street I live on was repaired a few months ago, but a few blocks down, the street is caving in already Plus there's like a million potholes in the alley. I can't wait til they fix it up

no, i'll get a pic of mine later today. it's right on top in the engine bay pretty much. connects to that thing that gets air from the outside that sits right where the hood meets the grill.
