Yeah it sucks, literally. Good luck on the race, you should be quick and light without all that gear. Let me know if you need a co-driver for the next race.

Well it has been a rough week, started out last saturday with a car that basically was in Limp mode and would not go over 20 mph and not rev past 4k rpm. I asked as many guys that i could that had some experience with these mavericks, and i appreciate everything those guys tried to do to help me solve the issue. Nobody could figure it out, i even tried everything i could think of (so i thought). So i caved and called the dealer and setup an appointment to have it looked at to scan the ecu. What i thought was a fried ecu from welding on the car, turned out the ecu was fine. Dealer sits with there thumb up there ass for several hours as i waited for the car.
Finally the guy brings the computer out so i go talk to him, computer states the front cylinder O2 sensor isnt sending voltage. Tech says to me "this doesnt make sense because the code says front cylinder but the program says number 2 cylinder." i looked at him and said well if it says front, its probably the front, nobody knows what one Brp considers the #2 or #1. he says to me "well i dont know this doesnt make sense, but im not the guy who normally looks at these." i looked at him, pissed at this point, asked well why isnt he looking at it then, "oh hes busy on another repair"
longer story short, i left with the car, got billed for an hour of troubleshooting and got absolutely NOTHING out of these jack asses.
I get home and realize that i need to just use my damn head and figure it out on my own.
*light turned on in my head, O2 sensors will NOT send voltage until around 800 degrees, if the computer said it wasnt getting voltage well then hell there must not be spark. Pulled the plug and turned over the motor, no spark, imagine that. Pull the rear plug cap to check that cylinder. Half the porcelain is missing from the plug and the top pin is bent. I HAVE NEVER touched the plugs. only 22 hours on the car. so i swap the plugs and the rear stops working and front starts.
All the stress and BS that i had to deal with and Leaning on other racers for any type of input, for something as stupid as a Damn spark plug !!.
Good news is i will be at the race going full force ! ordered new plugs and borrowed a friends to verify the issue. Car is back to running like a bad ass.

Yea, i never even thought to check the plugs because i had never even touched them, all i had did was finish up my new exhaust system. so that was where i started looking, instead it was the damn plugs. Which to this day i cant really wrap my head around them just failing.
