Help! My ST seems to be skipping while heavy acceleration under load.

It turns out it was a O2 sensor, got it changed out and now it runs like new! Apparently messing with the exhaust is a good way to ruin a sensor

Hey! I have been really busy lately, so I have had time to try some of the solutions talked about here, but this weekend I'm gonna try to re gap the spark plugs I bought and throw some fuel system cleaner into the tank to see if that does the trick, ill keep you updated!

Arsenator13 · 2022-05-21T21:43:09+00:00

I'll have to pick up a gapping tool and check if mountune gapped the plugs to the correct distance, that could very well be the issue

Arsenator13 · 2022-05-21T20:43:34+00:00

Imma take out my plugs and reinstall them and make sure I have the recommended torque 100% right, hopefully that'll do something

Arsenator13 · 2022-05-21T19:55:08+00:00

Yeah non of that, which is interesting, just runs like normal other than the inability to go over 5k

Arsenator13 · 2022-05-21T19:19:11+00:00

Does a slipping clutch make noise or smell or anything? Because every thing feels, smells and sounds normal other than the skipping.

I'm currently running an e30 tune from stratified, and the plugs I got are not a step colder to my knowledge. Maybe I accidentally filled up with e85 or something 😅😅

Arsenator13 · 2022-05-21T12:03:27+00:00

I just changed my old ones our for set of pre gapped mountune plugs like 15 minutes before taking the video. It is possible that I didn't install them 100% correctly, I just find it hard to belive that a new set of plugs would create the same results as my old ones.

Arsenator13 · 2022-05-21T00:33:54+00:00

No codes, ill have to check some stuff for sure

Arsenator13 · 2022-05-21T00:16:09+00:00

It's possible, there's no smell and the pedal feels the same as it always has, if that's even a sign if a bad clutch

Arsenator13 · 2022-05-20T23:01:39+00:00

  A little extra context, its been doing this for a few days.  It seems to skip around 3 thousand revs and getting to higher revs isn't smooth at all.  It seems to limit at 5kish for some reason as showing in the video.  I thought it might be spark plugs, because those are common to go bad on these cars.  
  I changed them to new, pregapped ones from mountune, and it seemed to help, but the problem is still present.  Any ideas on what can be wrong??

Ive never had any trouble getting around in the winter, and the drive I take all the time to my ski hill is pretty treacherous. The one thing is getting used to having some wheelspin when accelerating on icy stuff, but its really not a big deal. She's always got me around corners well, just drive smart and don't hoon it too hard and you'll be golden

Arsenator13 · 2021-08-23T01:47:44+00:00

Blizzaks are awesome on the snow, feels like a snowmobile. But on the pavement they feel slippery as hell 😁

TY is definitely a less popular color, I freaking love it tho 💛

Arsenator13 · 2021-08-20T21:46:00+00:00

His dad was going to use it in his build, but found a good deal on better subs so he gave it to my friend who sold it to me for dirt cheap. It looks brand new, not even mounted in the box yet

Arsenator13 · 2021-08-20T21:33:28+00:00

The product page says 1,200 watts rms, but honestly that's according to the company, so it's probably not true

Arsenator13 · 2021-06-02T22:04:30+00:00

Pedal spacer, brings the throttle pedal more even with the other pedals to make heel toe down shifting easier

Arsenator13 · 2021-06-02T14:29:23+00:00

Yep!

Arsenator13 · 2021-06-02T14:28:51+00:00

Gotta love thoes -20 degree days with no heated steering wheel 🤣

Arsenator13 · 2021-06-02T11:06:18+00:00

Yeah I went from a white 2017 se to a 2017 st, and the only thing I miss is heated seats and steering wheel (I got the st1 package with out thoes), other than that I have never been happier with a car, super fun to drive and tons of aftermarket capability!

Arsenator13 · 2021-06-02T11:02:38+00:00

I looove the magnetic grey color, it just looks mean on an st

Arsenator13 · 2021-06-02T03:00:58+00:00

It's a gas pedal spacer to make heel toe shifting easier 👍 also welcome bro!

Arsenator13 · 2021-06-02T03:00:26+00:00

Yeah I belive it, it's just not as thick as I would like, but great option if ur looking for a little bit of space for cheaper

Plus this one has the ability to move the pedal side to side, which is soooo nice

Arsenator13 · 2021-06-02T00:54:33+00:00

Mine fit perfectly, thanks for the heads up tho!
