Ignition Problems

Does anyone else have ingniton problems. I've already had to replace the coilpacks twice and the wires, plus i've had to change spark plugs at least 5 times. Right now I'm runnin NGK Iridium #9 with magnacore wires and HKS DLI and i started misfiring again. If anyone has/had this problem I'd like hear about what you did to fix it. Thanks

make sure the wires clip down on the plugs the was they should you may have to open them up w/ a screwdriver. ive heard of problems w/ magnacore wires not "clicking" onto the plugs like there supposed to.

switch out the wires to the stockers and your plugs may be too cold

Get rid of those magnacore wires. I had nothing but problems with mine. Switched back to stock and the problems are gone

One of my friends kept having problems with his coilpacks and linked it to a problem with a turbo timer. Thats the best I can give you.
