[Admiral coFF33]

i figure with the help of Wildsupra, that the spark plugs need replacing Coventrys and Auto1 are asking $25 per plug $$$$$$$$$
and i KNOW my gearbox is fucked , but i do have a replacement , anyone know if a Gen3 1g autobox will fit on a Gen2 1g ?



so c'mon THE 32 MIL LOTTO ON THE WEEKEND hahaha ...

just stick normal plugs in it
or if u want something fancy wack in some iridiums @ $19 each from supercheap

if its a boost cut it will just kick in at a certain point and u wont be able to boost till u turn car on and of again, i experienced that on my 3sgte at 15 PSI, but when boost cut comes in it jsut stops boostin and slams the car.

The 1g-gte doesn't have any way of sensing the boost, it just relies on the AFM reading, so when you hit the maximum of the AFM it has a fuel cut, but then restores itself a second or so later. This also will vary depending on temperature and pressure unlike a boost cut which only looks at the pressure.

I've hit the cut oodles of times, and it's exactly as Hydra explained. The car will hesitate, the check engine light will come on, then a couple of seconds later it'll be like it never happened.

If I were you, i'd go a set of standard NGK's or Densos. They cost $25 tops. The 1GGTE is a piece of piss to change plugs on, so it's not an effort to do it every couple of services.

The worst part of changing the plugs is the ISCV air feed pipe - goes pretty much over #4 from memory... a little annoying but it can be moved with some force.

Exactly what mine would do. Never did a diagnostic on it straight after it hapened, but I put the ECU light down to the massive jolt sending the knock sensors off the scale.
