make 100% SURE that the opti IS FLUSH before you bolt it down. DONT use the bolts to make it flush! FLUSH BEFORE. Apparently a lot of guys have this problem.

shoebox, thanks for that link. my next questions that I've been reading is it could be the coil. I figure for $30, why not. Do you have any guides that show how to replace the coil? It this a really easy install or is it harder then changing the opti?
