    Miracle My Engine Didn't Blow Up

    Of course. Misfire 3 5 6. I suppose there's a chance there's an issue with number 3 plug. But either way something bigger is wrong if I'm buying plugs every other week. I'll update this weekend when I tear it apart.

    Miracle My Engine Didn't Blow Up

    Well I drove 2.5 hours away on a trip and same thing happening, misfire city. Changed 5 of the plugs (all but #3), all looked good and didnt change the outcome. I stopped after I slipped and broke a vacuum nipple off the charge pipe. So waiting on a very expensive tow home to rip it apart...

    Miracle My Engine Didn't Blow Up

    Number 5 is easy to get to, which was the plug in discussion. Maybe I'll scope it this week if enough people get on this thread and pressures me lol. Don't want too jynx my fortune though.

    Miracle My Engine Didn't Blow Up

    I have driven about 3 hours today after repair and no issues. Car gods have blessed me. It is the Woodward DreamCruise today here in Detroit so maybe I had someone watching out for my motor in spirit form.

    Miracle My Engine Didn't Blow Up

    I would feel it for sure if a turbo was off. They spin at ridiculous rates. They would implode if off even a little. I really think I just got lucky as hell.

    Miracle My Engine Didn't Blow Up

    Cylinder walls and piston head almost certainly is not good lol. I didn't put my scope in because I want to will it to be OK. Didn't even put my magnet down there to pull scrap. But Holy hell it's back to my 500hp beast I'm used to and I'm so happy. Lotto ticket? This is hitting the lotto...

    Miracle My Engine Didn't Blow Up

    My only reasoning is I was off boost and it went out the exhaust. If that hit a impeller it would have grenaded for sure.

    Miracle My Engine Didn't Blow Up

    My ST has been running pretty crappy for a couple weeks. Misfiring under anything over 50% acceleration. But overall running fine under normal driving conditions. I've been telling myself that it's probably just a bad batch of E85. Three fill ups later, still behaving that way. Getting...

    Check your plugs

    Are the Bosch 96315 the same heat range as OE? Or one cooler? Running e85 here I want to make sure I'm not going cooler. I don't know where the heat range specs are for stock or these are. Anyone else better informed? Thank you.

    Cylinder Order/Numbering

    If I recall it is 4,5,6 Driver side front to back. 1,2,3 Passenger side front to back. Was just hoping to get a diagram to confirm my memory.

    Cylinder Order/Numbering

    Does anyone have a link to a diagram or cut sheet for our engines? I had one a while back but misplaced it. Also didn't see anything when searching on here. Would love to know which cylinder is which and the firing order if anyone knows. Thanks in advance!

    Beefing Up Transmission - Torque Converter Question

    520hp/540tq at the wheels here. Been beating the hell out of my car practically light to light non stop for over a year. Race anyone and everyone I possibly can. Stock trans has held up just fine for me. I think this is one of those things that probably makes more sense to skip until...

    Is everyone ok with the giant tablet and terrible bezel?

    Probably most leases are 36/39 months. Just a guess.

    Ethanol/Exhaust Question

    I'm on straight e85 and I've never heard any kind of snap, crackle, or pop. Sounds like an exhaust leak.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    When I don't want to carry my keys you can push the bottom 2 (7-8 + 9-0) numbers on the keypad to lock the car with my keys inside. Quicker than using the app imo. Also when unlocking if you type your code followed by 5-6 it will open the back hatch. 5-6 then 3-4 unlocks all doors and opens...
