was sitting in a carpark. waiting to pick someone up when the idle became rough. and sounded like a wrx
Symptoms.
seems to be running on 4 . or very very retarded timing. as the cats where white hot after just putting the car home as slowly a possible in only 3 mins.
Rev counter was working at idle but disspears above it.
tried disconnecting each coil pack , starts and fires but will not run with either disconnected.. same goes for the ignitors
not sure if its connected but the car is loosing oil somewhere around 1/2 dipstick over 300kms less.

hoping somone has an idea or its off to the mechanic on the back of a truck :-( sigh.... only a week into soarer ownership.... not a good start.

Yeah I agree, stuffed coil. My car did the same and replaced coil on passenger side, cured problem. Also make sure your battery terminals are clean, soarers have bad earths. Hope all goes well.

Blake, was it one of the coils? Did you fix it?
