    ROUGH idle, shifting is off, MPG VERY low.... ive read all forums and tried it all.

    I call this the problem from hell. There's literally many things that could be causing it. A mechanic suggested he would do trial and error fixes at the expense of my wallet and time lol. It's frustrating hopefully all these tips can help you go down a list of possible issues and eliminate them...

    new build

    Nice, I bought the rubbing compound long time ago and forgot I had it. I just installed today kensun's, from amazon as well, 5000k's to replace my old burnt and blocky ballasts, waiting for night fall to try them out. Hopefully they last 4 years like my old ones.

    ROUGH idle, shifting is off, MPG VERY low.... ive read all forums and tried it all.

    Hmmm have you tried cleaning the IACV? changed filter ? cleaned throttle body? changed your pcv (only like 2$)? You can clean the MAF there is a thread somewhere on these forums that shows how to, and they sell a spray to clean the throttle body and the MAF as well (different sprays of course)...

    Hey was wondering if you installed new headlamp assemblies or cleaned them? they look very new. I must admit I'm a bit envious of your yellow paint, mine is started to get sun damage (fading etc., etc.) on the roof. But the car looks good overall. Are those HID's 8000k?

    Short Ram Intake Mounting Bracket ?

    Perfect! this is why I like this Site. I had no idea where to look for a "aluminum bar as bracket" or how to name it. Also took a look at your thread and the way you mounted it looks great I will attempt to do that once I go to the local home depot and see if they have this zinc bar. I also...

    Short Ram Intake Mounting Bracket ?

    Hi, guys I got a generic sri intake from eBay and it brought two small aluminum brackets which helped to hold the intake but it broke recently(lasted a year). Because of the setup I feel it shakes too much and from time to time the screws get a bit loose. I'm wondering if anyone knows where I...

    Upper Radiator hose Leaking at clamp

    ok just had time to look into it. The hose leaking is the upper radiator hose and another smaller one which connects the upper radiator hose to the water pump I believe. Just could not find in the service manual the name for that hose any idea what it is? I would say its about 3/8" or 1/2"

    A few issues and questions for the pro5 enthusiasts

    If the car had been sitting for 3 years I would think you need to do an oil change if you haven't and then another soon after to clean out any sludge. Maybe do seafoam to clean out the oil buildup and then do the oil change. Remember to change your PCV valve its only ~3$. If you change the...

    My P5 starts weak sometimes - just got new battery - what's wrong with it?

    Could be the alternator is not charging the battery. Take it to autozone or autoparts and have them do the alternator test, its free and they print out a small report which says if the alternator is working correctly. Have them check the battery as well to make sure there is no damage to the...

    Upper Radiator hose Leaking at clamp

    Hi, just recently noticed my upper radiator hose is leaking where the clamp holds it going to the motor. As well as the hose which connects to it going down. I want to know if they just need to be changed? or does this mean there could be something obstructing them? The temperature gauge is...

    Need advice. Going nuts, seriously rough idle on start

    Replaced the vacuum hose and air box with an SRI from ebay, I made sure there were no leaks. The car runs A LOT better however it still does the idle problems on start up, and I did reset the ECU. One new thing I noticed is that its now making a rattling noise from under the hood. It sounds...
