If I didn't think it was worth fixing I would've said exactly that. I was referring specifially to his problem not being able to be caused by or fixed by the O2 sensor. This was pretty clear I thought...

What if i gave it a hotter spark .

The ECU controls the engine, nothing else.

Have you checked the bulb in the interior light? Have you checked the 7.5A ROOM fuse?

Search the 2nd Gen section for "cold solder" and you'll find lots of info on problems with the warning light and clock cluster and how to fix them.

That won't achieve anything.

If you want more power, you need more airflow. You don't need to worry about anything else yet.

I would buy a used header.

The money you pay for the RB, it's just way too expensive.

The reason your car is bogging after 3800 is the 880cc injectors and pump. The secondaries come online @ 3800, so at that point your fuel map is so rich, I'm surprised it even runs at all.

Agreed, although it'll just be the injectors, not the pump.

The hesitation is caused by the mixture suddenly going ~35% richer when the secondaries come on. Get those damnned things out, they're not helping at all, only hindering.

You'll have a REAL hard time reprogramming a S4 N/A ECU. Or any N/A ECU for that matter. You should sell the injectors and pump. Then you'll have enough money to get the appropriate stock parts, and maybe even a few goodies. Think smart.

I have never sold anything online as of yet . So should I try puttin them up on E-BAY or somthing . I know they were expensive as hell and an apparent waste of my money and time . I suppose I should have thought this threw better . DO any of you have an N/A if so are you running the 460cc injectors and what kinda power are you seeing .

I hope you still have the old injectors, because if they were just leaking then professional cleaning will restore them to near-new condition for a fraction of the price of new ones.

There are 4, but you can only see the secondary rail with the intake manifold still on the car.

Yeah okay im stupid thats prolly the only reason the car even runs is because it still has two stock injectors on it . I looked before in my repair manual and it didnt say anything about four of them . Thats great just great !!!

I went out to take a look are they like impossible to see with out taking it off cuz I looked pretty hard and didnt see them ?

This info is easily found in the Factory Service Manual. If you don't have the FSM, click here and download it in PDF format for free. For future questions, the FSM should always be referenced before posting, as many times the answer will be in there.

You have to remove the UIM to get to the primary injectors, as you'll see when you read the manual...
