I appreciate the kind words..

I've literally probably driven this car less than 50 miles. i went to school with it once back in high school (5 mile round trip) and i went for an alignment 2 towns over (20 miles or so) and then quick rides here and there. Finally i can start driving this thing.

Tomorrow i am installing a new coolant temp sensor because i've been having a shitty problem.. i will pull up to a red light get ready to stop and the car will stall out and it wont start for 5-10 minutes, its literally stranded. then boom i crank and it fires right up, perfect.

if anyone has any advice here, i'm listening. I have good fuel pressure, the motor cranks strong, but doesn't start. my first step is replacing this sensor.

I would start there, if it still continues I'd check to see if the coils are overheating.

Got the new coolant temp sensor in there today, drove the car and had no problems. did a little donuts got the car hot, and it stalled when i came to a stop. My next step is the coilpack, i found some on enjuku "p2n" $140 for all 4. i would love to hear some reviews on these before i buy them, its those or the yellow jackets.

**temp gauge reads very very low when driving today, is that related to the 1 prong plug?

Upon lots of reflection, although most probably wont see this, I really appreciate all the guys who gave such honest and truthful feedback back in the day. I wish I had the awareness to listen to you guys and buy better parts. You guys were all right... haha.

Although, i didnt really ever drive this car much anyway, and I definitely regret selling it. I just recently got back into the car game with a super clean 95 e36 m3, and it's made me realize just how much i miss that car. Live and learn! Some day I'll have a nice shop at my house and take on another 240 build for sure, with much higher quality parts, and craftsmanship.

If anything, this car was a major teacher in my life and I am very grateful for all that I learned.
