PA Hell week for my Ti Gray 8

Okay so I'm not gonna lie I absolutely have loved this car since I bought it, until two weeks ago when my clutch bracket broke it's just gone downhill. First that broke and now either it's broke again or something is up cuz my clutch feels worse now and spongier everyday. Then my head unit stopped playing cd mode completely the other day. Now when I start it it runs lumpy Til I rev it or go then it's fine so I'm not dealing with low compression I don't think. I check the oil every 700 miles to see if I need to add more and what not. I'm thinking the lumpiness may be from my check engine light being on because I have a turboxs race pipe. Anyone got any good suggestions cuz I'm stressing out and trying to go back to college next semester and would hate to get rod of it. Restore my faith someone please.

Your just having a bad luck week, but it could be better. Anyway, your car have some sorts of problems, and you have to deal with it. Just fix the issues you have and it won't be hell anymore. One final note...if you can't deal with it anymore, then just sell it.

well i've done my research and i think it's just the coils and plugs. i have plugs already just need to put them in. its only right when i start it and from what i've seen that could be the root of the problem considering its got 63k on it and i've only had it for 12k, who knows when they were changed last. Plus got a head unit and climate control for 190 with a 90 day warranty which is good cuz i had to convince my heat to work all winter. Tomorrow I'm going to call and see about getting my synchros done in the tranny and i'm getting 3 pay checks so i can order my megan racing coilovers. the last hour has improved my mood greatly haha

codes pulled for what, my check engine light being on? I'm pretty sure its because i installed a race pipe and eliminated the cat because now it senses too much oxygen.

Come on Monchie. How is that helpful man? He knows he has things to fix and obviously he has to deal with it or sell it.

How do you know?

How do you know you don't have a new code stored for P0302 misfire now?

If you have a check engine light on all the time, how will you know when a new code gets added to the list unless you check the codes on a regular basis?

Read your codes.
