Well started up the soarer just moments ago.... Engine electrical system error came up, felt like it was running rough, sounded like a wrx 4 cylinder type thing and white smoke comming out of the exhaust at a fast rate on the left side.

Only had it running for 20 seconds before I noticed the white smoke behind, suppose this is the cat being burned? Turned it off quickly after seeing that!

I tried the TE1 and E1 terminal trip, comes up with EFI NG....

I did a search but was not exactly clear on an answer for this problem. Any one able to help? Im guessing a new Left bank coil pack is needed? What are they worth

Cheers guys

Hmm well, done so more searching about the problem, Im sure its the left coil pack... So does any one have the correct part number for a coil pack?

Leave the diagnostics to run for a minute, the efi ng will then show a code and that will tell you which bit to change.

Yeah I did that but just stayed on "EFI --" and that was for at least 10 minutes....

Did I do something wrong?

Seems to be running ok now, Took the left bank leads off, applied some WD40 to the contacts, reset the ecu and swapped some relays. Started to work better and better until it was running just like normal, no rock or irregular idle.

However the cat was causing white smoke as it may have been damaged by the fuel so I gutted both of them. Wow wish I had done them sooner, much more V8ish and seems like theres even more poke under the accelerator

Yeah, we don't have any pollution in NZ (on account of us being so clean and green and blah blah blah), so no EPA. Just like we have no poverty and perfect weather.

Nah... He only bought it as it was comfortable car and in good condition for his travels up and down the country.

Would have been nicer for it go to someone that was an enthusiast but, oh well. At least I got good money for it! :-)

Yeah hes going to get that fixed, However Im sure for a fact by the end of the year it will be showing signs of turning into another typical tired soarer.

Who knows though - but as a car used for high mileage traveling for his job.... I cant see it staying tidy for long, Plus I doubt he would cleaning the interior with a cloth daily or give it a decent clean inside and out like I did every Sunday.. :-)

Ah well, they can't last forever I guess. Still I'm taking better care of mine now than I used to, so maybe he'll grow into the habit too.
