We had a couple of issues come up with the Saurus car. While at Cars and Coffee one weekend, it decided to start to run funny. It wouldn’t go into boost without cutting out. I drove it back home and started some diagnostics . It appeared that fuel pressure wasn’t rising with boost. I figured that a line in the tank might be leaking. However it turned out that it actually had two fuel pumps in the tank, and one had failed.
We pulled the boots of the coils, and Ernie noticed one of the coils had a more pronounced crack at the parting line. We noticed, it but we didn’t actually do anything about it. Just noted.

New plugs, new harness, cleaned all the coils up, put dielectric grease, and took the HKS twin power out of the loop (for testing). Went out for a drive, and while it was much better, it was still misfiring at about 12 psi of boost. Back to the shop, pull the cover back off. Hit that one coil. Replaced, out for a drive, and its cured. Car is running as it should again.
