FWIW - I spent days fussing with my coil and trying to figure out a no-spark / intermittant-spark situation. For a change of scenery I started on other little jobs under the hood and found a bad gro ... |

I had the same thing when I replaced my timing belt/water pump/tensioner. It was a silly thing, but enough to squeal and even fill the garage with smoke. Totally thought it was the alternator and fo ... |

I found said switch under the airbox indeed. What does this switch do. does it keep the fuelpump from going on?

The jump wire relay hack wont work on these models, this was news too me.

Always nice to have options, and a big X2 on the satisfaction of watching the hatch go up probably better than it left the factory.
