You should change all four ignition coils altogether not just one(you can use the discount codes below at Advance Auto) and there are only three solenoids, you can find it by specific CEL. Hoorah!

Advanced Auto Discount Codes
Note that motor oil and other exclusions apply. The coupons (which do not stack):

20% off sitewide via code "P20"
$10 off orders of $30 or more; $25 off $70 or more; $40 off $110 or more via code "A124"
$20 off $50 or more via code "ES123"
$30 off $90 or more via code "HUGE30"
$40 off $100 or more via code "TRT41" "DOW19"
$50 off $175 or more via code "HUGE50"


Your SSV opens with your secondary injectors. The VDI is an air resonance thing that kicks in way up around 7000. Air pump only fires on cold startup.

Hey there guys! If there any trolls from the 29 Palms area that want to meet up, myself and Ronnie will be meeting with a few other modified car guys at Stater Bros on Hwy 62/29 Palms Hwy. The time is still relatively uncertain. Ronnie and I are going to try and be there shortly after dark.

I know it's been a while but thanks for the advise everyone, actually pulling the SSV this weekend. I cringe every time I see a young Marine on base probably a student with new tags that probably just bought it at Rad Wheels. The last one I talked to flooded it and had it parked for a month.

Thanks, that sounds great. I've been looking into adding a oil metering pump as well, it will be great to see one installed and talk to you about it.

Still in town

Still here, just did half of a brake and rotor job adding slotted rotors not as much by choice as it was just a good deal. About to do a radiator replacement as the shity plastic factory one broke when I replaced the overflow bottle and I just noticed my repair didn't hold as well as I thought it did. I talk to the guy with the black one, he has no idea what he bought, or didn't when I talked to him. I've noticed several new ones on base recently too. Every plan on that trans replacement let me know, I'm down to watch, turn a wrench or two, and scratch my head with you.

Need help, anyone have a stock right rear capiler they wouldn't mind parting with. I just replaced my roters and brake pads and noticed the seal was all screwed up, and a quick drive confirmed it, my brake pads are rubbing horrible. I rechecked all my work and everything is good except the seals. I'm going to try to do a rebuild kit, but I would love to have a back up option. Someone who's done an upgrade to a big brake kit let me know.

On another note, replaced my radiator the other day, pretty easy, hit me up if anyone needs help on there's.
