    Well I got the car started. It runs extremely rough as if it were only firing on 5 cylinders and it throws a lambda 2 code on acceleration. So it could be basically anything air/fuel/electrical related.

      you've pumped out all the lines and replaced the fpr, did you do anything to the injectors? besides the fuel pump and fpr they are really the only thing left in the fuel system. buy a set of rebuilts, they are pretty cheap, maybe $60 for the set.

      i don't see how anything air or electrical would have been affected at all, so don't start chasing there.

        It took awhile to push the stuff through the system but I finally got her running. I was so worried the injectors were clogged last night.

          Is that your lawyer talking in the video?

          Good stuff, does it run normal or does it feel a bit off?

            Funny you say that because no joke I actually did go out to eat with my lawyer last night. When I took this video it was still running a little rough but after a 30 min drive it is back to normal.

                Mr. Strackbein will refrain from further comment until he speaks with his attorney.

                    The previous owner removed the cat back exhaust entirely... It's loud but I actually really like it.

                      ah nice - ran mine like that for a couple weeks while waiting for the new muffler to arrive. sounds awesome, a little too loud for daily driving and respecting my neighbors.
