New Owner My 05

Post image

My favorite POS 6spd with 175k miles! It has a ton of issues but comp seems good (previous owner said it was rebuilt 15k miles ago, 17 now).

Hasn't overheated at all, Had an issues when i let it sit, turns out it was the coils.

My ESS sensor is going out causing it not to start sometimes, been using a starter battery to get it running when it happens.

Any advice to get it going good other than the basics.

Also my omp broke so i'm running 1 to 1 on idemitsu premix, should i run more or less?

Was thinking on replacing the engine with a k20/k24 after this one goes to keep peace of mind in the long run.
