Another thing to take into consideration when replacing the bushings, is to order replacement hardware, 4 bolts, 4 nuts just in case. Odds are if you've never done this before, the subframe bracket bolts are rusted, and a pain in the ass to remove. Definitley have some liquid wrench available...

I still think its the alarm

Your o2 sensor hooked up in the correct spot on the exhaust? Only thing on the list of mods there that immediatley stood out.

Hey forums, just traded in my 3.5 MSP for a 2010 Veloctiy Red MS3. Glad to be part of the new community.

Well I wanted to say goodbye to everyone who posts on this section of the forums, as there is a wealth of knowledge to any MSP owner available here. That being said, I traded in my 2003.5 Blazing Yellow MSP, and maybe to the dismay of a few people, bought a 2010 Speed3. Look for a few parts in...

I want to thank everyone for their inputs. That being said, I decided it was time to buy a new car instead. May my Blazing Yellow MSP find a good new owner. Sorry to bail on everyone, but I'm the proud new owner of a 2010 MS3. See you on the other boards lol

15 mph test, 60 HC max, i tested 70. So 10, but this was on the second try with an 1/8th tank of gas, and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol lol.

First off if you are driving the car still, find the fuse for the the harness, and pull it, before something important catches on fire. Secondly let me read the rest of your post again so I can answer. And since i just read it's your ecu wiring harness, don't drive the car. If it's a grounding...

Also changed plugs, and oil (royal purple only for me). Maybe its something I can't quite see, bad egr valve, bad injector, something like that. Most mechanics in Cali don't want to touch it due to the mods, even though i maintained my South Dakota registration. I just want to get it to pass...

Just out of curiosity, did the reflash of the ecu affect timing or fuel to air mixture at all to correct the hesitation?

I got a recirculated setup. Yea t hey definitly run rich.

I've driven my car straight from Wyoming to Illinois, non stop. Ran like a champ. Just do the normal things that you would for any car before you hit the road. Check your oil, spark plugs, tire pressure, wiper fluid, coolant etc. Then travel with a small tool kit and flashlight just in case.

It's pretty easy to see if your belts are bad, just get a flashlight and inspect the underside, look at the grooved surfaces for dry rotting and cracking. You can also take a bar of soap, no pumice please, and hold it on the belt to coat it, then go for a drive to check for a change in noise...

As for the stock parts thing, I'm military, and i bought the car a few years ago when i was stationed in South Dakota. No regulations what so ever. Fastforward to me being moved to California with a modded car lol.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Let's hypothetically say I don't have the stock parts, and did drive it before hand.

Title says it all, and I'm not sure what exactly is causing the problems, and before i start throwing money and parts at the car, I want to list my mods for the MSP guru's, and see what they think. I can upload a picture of the results as well if needed. Putting out too many hydrocarbons...

PM me or respond to thread!

Two questions, Where is the sticky for the torque pattern, looked around didnt see it. Also whats the easiest way to removes the o2 sensor in the front of the mani to get the heat shield off?
