Well, as most of you daily readers know- my hatch died last week, and forced me to buy an STi so, i put the hatch up for sale.
I've gotten no serious offers on the thing, so I started doing some thinking today while out for a whip with neonmike as my co-driver/naviagtor, and wildbill/W tearing up the streets in the bmw (damn that guy's fast....... on bald snows. That ball-set on ebay really helped )
Anyway, here's the link to the old thread if you haven't read it last week-

So, i'm brain storming with mike...
Here's what happened. It died/wouldn't start that morning. hoof it to work. come home. work on it.
i ended up swapping the dizzy from the b16 on the sol onto the gsr in the hatch. boom, started right up. took it around the block. came home, shut it off, went to bed.
Now, it was cold out that night.. 15-20-ish and snowy.
Honestly, i doubt the car ever got to open-loop temp.
next morning, i go to work- starts right up. half way to work (about 2miles or so) it just dies on me. I coast into a gas station, get towed home, walk to work again. pretty much said fuck it at this point, borrowed a car for the rest of the week, and bought the sti on saturday.
Now, here's what i'm thinking.
About the place where the car died, is usually where i start getting heat. hrm... open loop temp is reached.
when that happens, pop goes the ignitor or the coil (i haven't tested to see which it is yet)
what happens when the car reaches temp? it starts reading the o2 sensor for the mixture. What wires through the distributor wiring harnees? Some of the o2 sensor wires.
hrm.
thoughts? opinions? ideas?
