had problems starting

the ss would take for ever to fire up. i would have to crank and crank it till she finally kicked over. and it would idle around 600 and pop and bang on decel really bad.

i figured it was the opti, original one w/ 83k on it, but i decided to put a coil on just for the hell of it. well i guessed right. the coil fixed it right up

long live the opti

i also wash the motor atleast 3-4 times a year and the water pump has dumped water on it twice now and its still going strong.
