What have you done to your P5 today?

Well.... Last tusday I got a stereo installed. Pics of that when its nice out. Been raining all weekend. While there the guy installing it left the key in the "on" position for 30+min and the car not running. turns out with a MPI tuner that is bad. Fried both coil packs...

Found that Advance auto has new coil packs for 54.00 total shipped for both!!!

Just came in today. If the damn rain would quit i will install them and get the car runnin again.

Car going on the trailer at advance auto. i was able to roll the car there from the stereo shop in the hope they stocked them. then towed it home. Had to take the bumper off so it would fit on the trailer.

Dude, you need some relays on that or you'll fry them again eventually. There's a write up about it somewhere here. Hang on.........
 
Someone just used a project box for the 2 12v volt relays. You can get them at radio shack or an electronics components type place. Make your own. It's just a couple of relays like the guy said that don't give power to coils until starting the car. I may be doing it as well depending upon what's inside the NA module. Haven't looked. I basically have all the parts but until now no proper bkup vehicle to have this one down to do job right or just haven't done it due to something or another...like building a new house with this economy freaking out.
 
i really didnt do any research on them but i just figured all years worked? mines outta 01, does this work? heres the link...

Here's an old post of mine with the part # that Jason gave me. According to him 01-04 will fit and the part # is the same for the MPV as well. And I regress, I paid $49.49 shipped. lol

No pics yet....digicam is at home. Here is the part # and pricing Jason gave me (this is also the same part # for an MPV).

01-04 Tribute - GE6V66128 MSRP-121.80 Website-97.44

Yup...took me about 10 minutes tops. Best functional interior mod IMO.
