NGK > Denso

I still remember pulling them! i was amazed!

@mikey32235 Maybe your misfire is from your Nankangs not being able to take the torque?

very funny.. havent had the misfiring from the last couple of cold startups so not sure if its gonna come back or not. I'm waiting for a code to come up.

Have you gapped your oil since you had the engine built?

@mikey32235 Can you post a video of this happening? Maybe post up your map too so people can see what it looks like.

His map may be locked if AccessTuner Pro was used.

A log would be useful if the logging is started right when the car starts

ive been trying to log but every time i want to it doesnt misfire at startup! ive done a WOT and no misfiring there. no clue what it could have been but if it comes back ill definately log

Yup, I just remembered it was a custom tune. Oh well.

Mikey, try what MBNTO suggested. Just start logging every start up. You'd eventually catch it. Then we can figure it out better.

will do! ive been trying lol.

hey guys, question about meth... lol

so my meth injection is working great, i just set up my low level monitor the other day and it works fine. at the same time i set up the injection status green light. but i just cant seem to get it to work! yes all of the wiring is done correctly, and the light bulb does work. my last option im assuming it is a bad ground? but im not sure. has anyone had this problem?

I had a problem with the wire taps I was using not cutting all the way through the insulation on the first shot/push through. This was on my signal wire tap not making contact with my MAF wire.

You might want to check all the connections that you tapped for the wiring because when I checked and reapplied them I was able to get all my status lights working.

Bro. Remember that I told you NOT to go with the boost application.

Sounds like a seized muffler bearing...

I'd start there.

I have MAF voltage application, have you tried MAF instead of boost to rule out some possibilities?

talkingto some people andthe guys at edge reccomended theboost kit. i can switch to a maf kit but then i will need a re tune... nota problembut ill stick to what i gotfor now. they reccomended to get the bioost kit.

gonna try in a few hours to get the light to work

why would you think going with the boost kit would be better than MAF?

How often are you above 10 psi when you're in boost??

oh yeh...all the time.

Just bought some new gauges (oil pressure/boost/fuel pressure) , oil filter conversion kit, adapter plate for oil pressure gauges :) All from pro-sport. the conversion kit i got from avante mazda. only $60, not bad!

noticed my driver side corksport sway bar link snapped after the snow storm this past week. i hit some bad pot holes that i couldnt see drivving home, definately what caused it. got off the phone with corksport this morning and they sent one out to me today!

Yes!!!!!

lol hahaha :P

alright so I'm a little concerned here… after reviewing a wot 4th gear, I've come across some issues, running too rich…timing off..and small knock at one point.. flat lines at top end too..

I contacted brian at APH just waiting on his response on what to do. is it even safe to drive?

what you just said means nothing. we would need to see logs, but in reality, you should be consulting with your tuner, not the internet

how can i post the log?

When did you do your log? It's so cold..

Go advanced and attach the log, there's an option to attach files on here. I'm on my phone, otherwise I'll check the step by step..
