I got my car back :D

Post by DJones »

For those that were not at the last dg event, My car started having some major misfire issues twards the end of the day.
The CEL never came on. I checked everything that I could think of.
I took it to the dealer, and they played hit and mis with it. They pulled the spark plugs, and that's when I got the call: "Mr Jones, What kind of octane boost have you been running?" :oops:

As it turns out, the octane boost completely fouled the plugs, and left a nice red residue on them for Ford to not cover it under warranty. cost: $260.

Never use +104 octane boost again. :x

It's good to have my car back, and thankfully it wasn't anything inside the motor that let go.

he speaks the truth! RX8 (er....R34) is the man for ford service.

i don't know of anyone else in the history of ford service that has written up a service record for me in the name of Coco Mellons from Gnarltown, USA, and also written the service advisory for my minivan as "transmission failed mid-drift...please advise". lol.

Yes, the car felt that good! I was/am amazed. We all need to go do some road course events, way to much fun. The Audi club events are fun because most drivers are not that fast, but the events are a little disorganized.
