Crankwalk. All the 6 bolts I've seen that die when you push the clutch in, had crankwalk. The failed thrust bearing put a huge load on the engine when you press 2100-2600 lbs of pressure on it.

Yes.... It's crank walk.... Just like the guy who blew his motor because he didn't have a oil filter... That was crank walk also. Trying a new ECU tomorrow. I'll update then!

Alright man, it was just something to keep in mind. If you don't like the answers your gonna get, don't ask questions. I've been there, done that a thousand times and have verifed my findings. I also wouldn't post in any help section till you have a complete diagnosis. I bet if you know what you were doing, you wouldn't post until you had a log. Raw data speaks a thousand words. Good luck to you though.

The guy flake on me with the ECU. Said he couldn't find it when I got to ft Myers.
And as I said before I REALLY WISH I COULD LOG! I PURCHASED A LOGGING SET UP!
I cant help that the logger mysteriously won't connect to my diagnostics port.
My stepdad lost his compression tester, which means its just burried in the garage. I should be able to pick one up this weekend.

TMO is a capable logging program and its free. Also about $5 worth of stuff(a diode, a resistor, some pins and a connector) at Fry's or Radio Shack will make a cable for you. The plans are on the web. Oh, and a laptop. The fact that your car use to be non turbo shouldn't matter. I've connected with non-turbo cars before. The only difference is the data that is displayed. Assuming you have a turbo engine harness, you should be completely fine.

I have a logger. And cable. And software. I get a serial com error when I plug it in. I've had quite a few people look at it for me and it just won't connect. It works in other peoples cars just fine.
Update: it's seemingly fixed. 2 days with no issues so I'm crossing my fingers.
The timing was way off. I wish I still had the previous owners number so I could verbally throat punch him.

Check and make sure your data link connector pins havent been pushed in(on the car).
