thank you for the response. I read on the SSV that could just be a failing rotor compression as well making it tick. I wouldnt doubt it though due to some moments when at a stop my idle fluxuates from 2k rpm to 750 and then after a sec it will go back to normal. I had replaced the coils, wires, and plugs for this fact but still it happened 3- 4 more times since.

The good thing is I still have the engine warranty i believe for this year and also got extra warranty with the bank for pretty much anything other then interior for only a $50 deductible for a good 50,0000 miles extra

Don't think the worst, it's likely something simple.

I saw a video with SSV acuator making a sound and its pretty much the same. Will check my plug wires incase i didnt snap them on right though. Glad you guys mentioned the SSV. I did research on it and yeah found noise sounds and video on possibly how to do it.

If I can I'd like to do this myself for more hands on training with my own 8 but dont have the tools. If my old neighbor cant help then most likely will pay the $50 just to get it fixed.

Hey guys, Just wanted to see if anyone would be willing to switch out their stock 380cc primary 2's for my upgraded 730cc primary 2's. I got them from MM, and since I am no longer turbo'd nor do I have a Cobb AP, I am thinking the stock computer is getting too much fuel at start up, thus flooding my engine. Obviously if anyone is looking to upgrade, it will require some cash on their end.

No, I can't get the car to start. I am assuming it is getting to much fuel on start up on the stock computer tune from the upgraded injectors.

Just an FYI your P2's don't come on when the car starts the only injectors that would come on are your unmodified Red's

I am 99.9% positive that would not be the issue...

Sad part is I bought a few new parts and sold him the kit for mad cheap + got lowballed. On top of that he said another part broke so I paid for half a new bottle opener .

I must say Scott...your kit is getting passed around a lot

Yeah that's a pretty dick move. You paid for half of the opener? That's crazy dude, I told you that opener would not work as is, it was the outdated model. But making it work would have been easy. You are too nice man.
