Does This Sound Like Bad Coil Pack?
Hmm.. I think my coil packs could have gone.. It sounds like it going by these symptoms..
- I loss about 100miles /tank of gas
- Rough Idle after stopping at a light
- Car has no more pull even though I rev the sh@t outta the car. Boost is gone too
- Black smoke coming out of tailpipe
What do you this sounds like?
And before you ask if I got a cel I can't tell by my cel light. It's always on since I still have the auto ecu after my 5spd conversion.

Should still be able to pull the codes and see if there is a new one. But...based on your explaination..seems like you are on the correct course.

) is to remove 1 coil at a time and see if the car stays the same or gets worse. Yes, time consuming. The fact that you can go over 2500 should mean that the MAF is ok. But on my Probe, somewhat of what you say (Bad gas mileage, fumes) kinda also point to a bad O2.
You have a new clutch system, could it be slipping? But that would not account for the bad gas mileage...hmmmm.
See if you can get an Autozone to pull codes for ya for free.

I agree with Colonel. This is what I would do to find the coil pack problem. But all your symptons sound like a coil pack or possibly a maf.

I doubt it's a maf cuz I can still rev redline in all my gears and it's fine.. It just doesn't have the pull like I used to have and I'm boosted too. I think it is the coilpacks. I know they go bad all the time. More often on boosted cars too..
