So the new clutch is in my car, everything is bolted up, fired her up, and she ran a little rough, but fine.

Then she died. Started up. Then died. Tests show I am only getting spark on 2 cylinders, 1 and 4. Coil has been changed. Still not 2 or 3 spark. Mr. Wort suggested a new ECU, while Mitsu 77 said it could be the ECU, transistor, or cam angle sensor.

Any other ideas? I seriously need to get this car going ASAP, and its hard to drive it on 2 cylinders...

grr.....!

So I traced all the wires, made sure they were all secure, fired her up. She fired up fine, no problems. Me happy.

Pull her out of the driveway, take it down the block. Kinda baby it a bit. Turn around. Lose self control and gas it. Car is faster than it has ever been before (added a couple goodies while she was down). Me very happy.
Check engine light comes on, losing power. Me not to happy. Car dies. Rolls back into my driveway. Me even unhappier. Car will not start again. Dammit.

So its starting cold alright after it hasn't been started for a couple days....and then when it warms up, its kicking the can and throwing CELs. Havn't got a chance to datalog it yet (DD left town and locked his door, and the logger is in his room), so I dunno what codes its throwing. Any other suggestions besides the obvious "datalog it"?
