  1. There's no meaningful difference between pulling an engine from a falcon or a territory and awd doesn't affect anything.
  2. Let us know what happens with new coils.
  3. The PCM can cut cylinders for reasons, there is a DMR logging parameter that shows how many cylinders are active. AFAIK it will cut half of the cylinders via injector cut for various FMEM reasons ie: overboost, etc. There is that side of things. Onto losing power at the injector, they are 12V live all the time and the PCM pulls them to ground. First check for pin connection, it is common to have issues there. Either the pin will back out of the plug or it will open up inside the plug and cause issues. Pigtail connectors for aftermarket injectors are notorious for this. If there is an intermittent fault with the injector 12V, bypassing it with a direct battery feed will show results. Literally run a wire from the battery positive to the injectors in question and that will rule that out. Other things I've seen, the coil cover fasteners can pick up the coil or VCT loom under the coil cover and can earth it out through the rocker cover. I can see you've checked some of this, it can pay to double check things, especially if you've been rushed. I haven't opened up a PCM and can't say what will fail and at what age, however I have seen a few dry solder issues with white goods that are easily fixed. This would be the last place I checked, unless of course you have access to another PCM that will run the car. Hopefully there's something there for you.
  4. There would only be one outcome to me showing up and it would end up with both of us in legal trouble that would cost a lot more than $200. Pay the money and find a new shop to do your work going forward.
  5. Check your oil level and top it off as needed.
  6. They should have done it to start with. You're in Adelaide lol, would you like me to show up with you to get results?! #angrybastard
  7. Nah it's pretty normal when you want all the flow. It's reserved for high hp and high temp times. I keep it on the shelf for just those times lol
  8. Yay Monday I put a stock thermostat in my car yesterday, it had a chopped one in it before. Chopped is fine for summer but not for cooler days, as the engine never warms up properly. Now it warms up very quickly and is stable, as it should be
  9. That's right, seems reasonable lol
  10. Yay Sunday Men have manners, women have?
  11. One good one is ok, it might take a few months to find something you really like.
  12. Yeah I've had that happen once or twice when towing. At least you have an easy fix there.
  13. Great weather here today too although it's cooling down fairly quick now. You find any decent places @k31th? Yay Saturday and bring on the vodka and coke!
  14. One thing to check for is delamination of the rear wheels. There could be an egg on the inside of the tyre or a subtle bump on the actual tread.
  15. Gave the boost tee two more turns today and it did fark all. No doubt there is something there but the seat of the pants was lacklustre. Pretty sure I can have my custom four inch turbo back system installed in a few hours. Gotta cut an shut a bit of it but the parts are here and I'm getting antsy. Hopefully it's not too loud lol
  16. It's an excuse my son made as a toddler when he couldn't be farked.
  17. Yes but I only have one thumb and I can't even walk
  18. Righto here's two jokes I just thought up... Why did the bell get in trouble in class? Cos he said dong. Why did the bell go to the panelbeaters? Cos he had a little ding in him. Haha farken ha
  19. Haha yeah probably, there is a scrap yard 5km from where the pic was taken.
