Yeah I'll figure it out. It's aggravating but for right now I'm more concerned with the starting issue...until I take it to SS16 and REALLY need my fuel gauge lol

Yeah I can't believe I hadn't thought of that before. It seemed like I just replaced them so it didn't cross my mind. I'm going to keep track of it now though. I'm documenting the mileage so I can see if I have other issues that are wearing out the plugs faster. I'm still going to compression test.

I put in my new Adaptronic last night and it started pretty easily, but it didn't want to idle. Then I remembered I had disconnected the ISC and switched to manual idle in the PFC, so I plugged that back in and other than running super rich at idle, it's idling great too.
