Been a while since I posted here. Got a bit of an update lol.




Car died mid-autocross. I was topping out 2nd gear and the gas pedal stopped working. Came to a stop near some course workers and stalled. Car wouldn't start back up. We pushed it off the lot and disconnected the battery hoping it was fuel-cut and would reset. Reconnected battery and car still wouldn't start.

Pulled some fuses and found the 15A EFI CTRL fuse was blown. Put the spare 15A fuse in and tried to start car. Blew the fuse again.

Car has been towed to the dealer to have the electrical system looked at. Hopefully it's not a wire melted by the turbo, maybe some possibility at warranty then. Either way I'll post updates when I have them...

This thread shows folks having a similar issue with various places where the fuel electronics might short to ground. If it's a melted insulator I'm probably SOL on warranty lol. Hopefully not too much $$

Edit: Unrelated but I just realized how good my paint looks in that picture...
