For Sale / The Ultimate COP FS Thread

Thanks much for the insight and suggestions. Have been in touch with PO to address as well. FWIW, code may be pointing to this, but symptoms seem to point to something vacuum related (in other words, engine runs fine and the CEL is intermittent @ warm idle only). Weird. And challenging. But hey, it's an M42! Thanks again.

For Sale / The Ultimate COP FS Thread

Are you using the COP setup that this thread is about or still the stock setup?  If still stock then go ahead and get the COP setup, its awesome!  Otherwise, try swapping your number one coil with one of the other coils and see if the fault moves to another cylinder.  You might have a bad coil or a bad plug wire.

Sorry, should've mentioned it has this COP setup as well as a Mark D chip. (this is a recently acquired vehicle, PO installed). Looking at setup, I'm guessing it's not simply a matter of swapping coil #1 with another, I have to pull them all as one unit with the bracket, yes?

Again, engine appears to run 100% with no issues, other than the check engine light coming on at idle after it's warmed up. Goes away as soon as throttle is applied.

Quick Q: Anyone with these experience the following, and if so, recommended fix or direction to address?

Engine runs fine, on start and when warmed up, at idle or highway. CEL on idle. Gas pedal blip, goes away (but can and does come back). Stomp down test results in 1271 (ignition coil #1).

Other: All vacuum lines good, "mess under intake" mod done, ICV, AFM, TPS all functioning, no other issues.

General Topics / trouble with fitment of aftermarket oil filters?

« on: March 12, 2008, 09:33:03 PM »

Per the seller's current listing, ~ $7.00 per filter, shipped - seems like a good (average) price to me.
