Yea id go for a group buy if they had them for the ea82ts

Hahaha same with my whenever i buy something its either broken or a dud. the rx is at a shop right now There just gonna tell me to replace the coil with a stock one probably.

Like i said im still leaning towards a bad coil. Im bringing it to a shop today and hopefully they can help me out with the diagnosis. It probably needs to be looked at on a scope and with a timming light.

Yea i think its about time to bring it to a shop. I was just driving it and it seems to happen at WOT most of the time. And when it starts to buck and loose power i can hear loud pops comming from the tail pipe. I dont think its a back fire cuz its always done that pop after about 3500 rpm due to the dual exhaust. How do i check the air gap and advance pod vaccuum? Do you think that there is still a possibility that it is the coil? Im still leaning towards that since all of this came up after the coil was put in. But there is always the chain effect.

Alright Greg. I tested the coil and i got aroing 1.1 ohms. So i guess this means that the coil is not the issue? *smashes head against wall* I think im gonna pull off the cap and take a look at the rotor. I havent replaced that because the previous owner stripped the retaining screw. mike

finally someone whose had the same issue haha. Yea its got to be the coil im gonna have to replace it. Sux when you pay 40 bucks(shipping included) and its a piece of sh*t. Ill break out the DMM and test that tomorrow thank you for the specs.

will this make a difference on an ea82t? has anyone done this? Some people say it works others disagree. I was to check it out for myself. what cars make a good donor for this swap?

Thats hot dude. Man i wish there were Brats in mass. If i could find one id definetly buy it. do some serious 4 wheeling.

Well the cap and rotor were replaced about 6,000 miles ago. All this came up when i was running the new coild JUST the accel coil. So no accel wires, the stock ngks (which looked like sh*t). This is why i think the coil could possibly be a dud. Im gonna throw in the stock coil and see what happens if the problem goes away im gonna get another accel coil if it starts up again... well i dunno what the hell to do then.

yea even with that issue i can feel a small power gain pre turbo

haha i wish but its FI!

well im gonna try a different accel coil who knows maybe i just got a dud. if the problem precists after that its time to start thinking it might be a fuel problem.

well it did it before the 50s went in so i dont think it has to do with them. Its very possible it could be a bad coil. I dont know what the hell to do. Maybe i can find a friend who has a super stock and i can swap them see if it is a bad one.

Ok i know i already posted about this but i didnt get any responses that will help me determine the problem. I put in a new accel super stock and ever since i put it in, in second gear the car looses power from like 2000 to 2500 rpm. The car will buck and then the power comes back and its fine through all the other gears. I replaced the wires (accel 8mm), the plugs (ngk .050 gap) and it still does it. Mike

To get one do you need to go to a dealer and have them order it? or is there a some web site that offers them? my guess would be going to the dealer.

Ok so i switched the polarity it on the coil and the problem is still there. except it seems to be happening more now. Could this be because i need the larger gap plugs. If so it would sorta make sense for it happening more now (it was wired wrong and only getting 60% out of the coil) Im gonna do the plugs next with a .050 gap and see if this helps the problem. anyone have any ideas?

Thats good. Let us know when you get that hooked up. if i recal there not to pricey either.

STRAIGHT PIPE!! Thats what i have on my rx. dual straight pipe. sounds awesome. Only bad part.... state inspections, and if you know Mass, its as bad as california. Luckily i got a friend who works at a dealer and has his license.

Awesome dude!!! I got one too the other night cant wait till it comes in!

Tex, Will the HKS FCD work for the ea82t? ive seen it around before.

well.... looks like i might have found my problem area then. thanks q man.

anyone else have any ideas?

I know the plug wires are right, cuz that would be very noticable. The coil wires i think were on right i will double check that, if im correct the black is the ground? thanks mike

Ok my story is somewhat similar to 86subaru's. I replaced the coil with the accel super stock. I hadnt done the plugs or the wires yet. why i dunno. In second gear at 2,000 rpm it will buck like its going to stall or like its not getting any park but then the power comes back and its fine for the rest of the gears. I put the accel 8mms on to see if there would be any change but not really. I havent done the plugs yet. any ideas? All of this started just after i put in the new coil. its never happened before.

ahh yea i think i read your post about that. Just to let you know as of like 2 minutes ago the rx7 intercooler is out and the wrx is in! I just got one off ebay for 40 bucks with free shipping. Incredible find if you ask me. Im happier then a pig in sh*t right now Mike
