My car's a sick little puppy too.
#3 cylinder gave me trouble again.
I went WOT and I
heard the detting but, stupid me, I didn't let up. The ECU throws the proverbial '#3 misfire' CE code again. It turns out the spark plug's cathode (ground electrode) impacted against the anode, leaving a gap less than a hair's width. The plug's replaced and the car seems to run fine now – but WTF happened?! Could a piece of the piston crown break off, and interfere before blowing out the exhaust? [Compression in #3 is 180, the rest 205].
Also, my Eaton M62 blower sounds like it's ready to self-destruct – and I've only clocked 20k miles on it. I've got it by-passed now (it free-spins on its own) so it's a lot quieter. I'll have to drive to Trey's Cobb Tuning this way.
Magnuson, who deal with Eaton's aftermarket division, say they may replace it under warranty, but they need to see it first. These blowers are supposed to last more than 100K miles. They've got Eaton M62 blowers, being rebuilt, with over 200K miles clocked on them.
I hoping Trey will solve all my problems, and make the car even better!
