No, it's not supposed to do that.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking the engine is toast, as I've noticed a loss in power and a lack of consistent output. I'm not really looking forward to dumping more money into the car, but so it goes with the FD.

Okay, but seriously, does this sound like a blown engine?

My compression tester is with a friend, so I can't get to it right away. I disconnected the igniter and pulled the leading plug on each rotor. I turned the engine over and I got even "pssh"es on both rotors.

This morning I got more video of it, including the idle pattern on cold start, the status of the plugs, and the pulses on the starter.

This SHOULD work better than that Photobucket crap.

I'm an idiot. It's was the proverbial elephant in the room. MAF hose was disconnected. Guess I'll wait on that street port.

Shucks, I must have really wanted a day off or something.

Happy Thursday everyone.
