Also, the engine in my Stagea is the S1 RB25DET

This is really good info, and again, I'm new to all of this, this is basically my project car that I'm trying to rehabilitate lol. Where can I get this software from?

My thought is, if at idle, the engine can't even keep up with itself, pulling the coils should give me some sort of result. It's also really the only option available to me at the moment.

But can I can't test the coils with the crossover off, isn't that right? I thought I had read that somewhere else in these forums

Right, I could definitely look at the plugs while I'm in there. Would a foul plug have any physical features that you could look at and say, "ah yes, this is ******"?

I guess I'll just have to start at the coils and the loom. What's your recommendation on testing the coils? Since the intake goes across where they sit on top of block, is it still possible to pull each one out if I just take the cover off?

No mods at all aside from a cat back exhaust. And yeah, it was about 6°C when this happened, so pretty cold.

Hey all, just bought a 97 Stagea RS Four a couple days ago. Just today, I started her up in the morning and noticed that the idle was a bit rough. The car would idle, then drop to about 500 rpm, them go back up. I decided that letting the engine get fully warmed up before driving would be smart and after it did I noticed that under full throttle the car would get to 4500RPM, plateau, and then it felt like it "hit boost" and was able to get above that mark. Whats weird is after it "hit boost", there was an audible "pop" from I'm assuming the exhaust. Considering the car didn't have a problem when I bought it, I figured calling the previous owner would be a good idea. He told me that he had installed new spark plugs and a maf a couple months before I bought the car. I know these RB25's love to hate their coil packs, but does what I explained sound like it could be that or maybe the wiring loom?

Have a 97 Stagea that just started having the same issue lol. Where are the g sensors located? New owner, not much knowledge on this kind of thing.
