so, I spoke to my friend who did the work for me yesterday and he said that the old fuel filter was DISGUSTING. He thinks it might be the ECU relearning with proper fuel pressure, hence why it's not throwing a CE light.
He advised me to fill it up with 93, dump a bottle of fuel injector cleaner, throw it in sport mode and give it an Italian Tune Up before I bring it back to him.
Also, I need to have a new battery installed as well.
I drove it to get gas, drove fine, no bogging or weird idle.
Drove it back home fine.
left 20 minutes later to go to my parents house and at first start it idled poorly... was bucking and lurching at low speeds, but once on the highway it was fine. Going back onto regular roads it was fine as well. Stopped at a shop to get something, came back out. Fine again.
So, I'm gonna go grab a bottle of FI cleaner and a new battery and go beat the bag out of it for a few.
