So it was the position of the AEM UGO sensor on the s pipe that was touching “bearing hub”?

Glad you got it corrected. If it is going to be a good while before you can get the bungcorrected, you can probably pick up some braided harness sheething somewhere and slide it down over the wiring. This will at least help to slow down the wear on it until you get the bung corrected.

/\/\ that's a pretty good idea, however i'm just going to leave the sensor unplugged til' i can correct the s-pipe. From what Joe tells me, the sensor is only there to keep tabs on the cat, and from driving around w/o the sensor so far, there feels to be no difference.

Picked up my car yesterday with my new ACT clutch installed. The b@stards plugged the O2 sensor back in. Know how i found out? Died halfway on the way home with you guessed it, a blown EFI fuse

^^LOL.....If you told him not to, and he did...Shame on him. If you forgot to tell him, Shame on you. But glad to see your combing out your issues. At some point you will be able to actually enjoy driving the car. The ZPI kits run HKS as well, and I know exactly what you mean about the sound....Gotta love it.

Do you have a CEL? If so, what are your codes saying. I think there needs to be a sticky on CEL codes, and proper solutions to getting rid of them.
