[s-cars] 1.8T coil odd behavior

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Mike,
Now that is an interesting possibility... hadn't thought about the possibility of causing problems with the O2 sensor.  I did wire it with an individual power wire to each coil, but that might be worth checking in to.

Dave, 
My conversion doesn't have any sort of strange behavior (other than smoothly reving to 7000+) but I will pay more attention to the first 15 seconds or so and report if I find anything. The symptoms sound like the heater in the oxygen sensor is not operating. Since the power for that heater comes from the same bank of connectors as the coils, there may be a connection. I ran an individual power wire to each coil, like the stock setup, which may be different than conversions by others.
