Alright, I'll give that a shot. Tried a 0-60 run with manual shifting once I realized that eliminated the flare and got 13.5 seconds. Not great, but reasonable. Thanks for the suggestion, may have...

Scratch that - mine's flaring from 3-4, not 2-3. If I manually keep the shifter in 3rd until 40, no flare occurs at all when I slide it up a notch.

Facepalm.


I'm ashamed to even admit this, but the topic deserves closure despite the embarrassment. About five minutes of disassembling the intake pieces made the problem blazingly obvious. ...

I'm not following your logic. How would a fuel filter explain an apparent overfueling issue? I'm getting black smoke proportional to 'throttle' input and no problem starting.

It's definitely unburned fuel (black smoke). I'll take a look all the way through the intake track and verify that it's clear. Agreed that it sounds like it's starving for air for some reason.

Same - if it's gotten this bad, get yourself a new unit with a matching new key. Definitely get it through the dealer so you get a key that matches the rest of the car.

Just checked - the reverse lights do not work when the shifter is in R. Also, spinning the white collar on the NSS does not seem to cause them to come on regardless of position.

What exactly are you referring to as 'notches and slides'? Just the ends of each shoe where they hit the expander and adjuster?
