[QUOTE="WireMesh, post: 14347086, member: 155607"] I have had the car for nearly a year. I bought it from a guy who only had it 6 months right out of college then decided he couldn't pay for it because he was going to go back to get his masters. He bought it from the original owner who was an older man who traded it into the dealership for a mini van. The car currently has 77,xxx miles on it and is my daily driver (I got it with 67,xxx). No work has ever been done on the engine. The oil has always been changed when it is supposed to be with synthetic. A few months ago a friend of mine who used to own an 03 Cobra noticed that my intercooler pump was not pumping (beginning of the summer). He said this was a common issue and I had not had overheating issues because it had a stock pulley. I fiddled with the wire connecting the pump and it has been chugging along ever since (I check every time I get gas). Within the past weekend my ABS light has been on about half of the time and I am still waiting for it to be on when I pull in the garage so I can read the diagnostic code. Here is a complete list of everything I know of that has been done to the car: - Bassani catted x pipe (guy before me) with the cats cut out (me)(they broke and were clogged) - Flowmasters cat back exhaust & muffler (guy before me) - MIL eliminators (me) - Originally just had a K&N filter in the stock filter box (probably guy before me) but switched to the JLT next gen CAI (me)(in fender) - Bama tune on XCal 3000 (me) Mods that should not affect problem: - 3 90mm Metco idlers to replace the stock ones (me) - MGW shifter (guy before me) - Raxiom blacked out taillights (me) - Sequential tail light kit (me) - Hub centric spacers on rear wheels (guy before me) I had previously datalogged my car and it seemed to be running rich but I was fine with that since it's better to be safe than sorry. I recently emailed Bama that I would like to datalog the tune and told them I think it is running rich and it hesitates on shifts (attached the links mentioned previously). They were very nice and told me what params to datalog and to get back to them. So now I am just waiting until I get a good chance to datalog it. Also, I am located in Texas where summers can get hot! The car has been autocrossed 3 times and never had issues. Aside from the occational 1st or 2nd gear pull, I am easy on the car and it never goes on top speed highway runs or anything like that. [/QUOTE]
