thanks 3g.

 

agreed 10 to 1 is extremely low. there is no doubt that if you are that low you could be fouling the plugs out.do you know what part number plugs you're using?

 

I hate spark plugs Just recently my car started idling like crap and sometimes stalling. It seemed to pull ok but idled poorly and backfired on downshifts, etc. I've also had a CEL for the last 18 months for misfires in all 4 cyl.

This past Tues I installed NGK Iridium plugs (P/N BKR6EIX) and the car got much better. It still idles a little funny but it runs much smoother. And, check this out, my CEL went out for 3 days until this morning when I got really low on gas. Before now, the CEL would never be off for more than a day. I went to the gas station and filled up and the CEL went out again.

I say all that to say, check your plugs

 

before you get tuned again i would definately make sure that you double check everything. including but not limited to boost leaks, injector o-rings, uppipe gaskets, front O2 sensors, and spark plugs.

 

the life of having a modded car. not sure on the part number of the plugs, frank knows it by heart though lol. am i safe to drive the car though?

 

haha remember i warmed you about this when you pmd me about your new setup haha sucks but itll be all worth it when its done

 

i would not push the car too hard, but it should be ok to drive. if your wideband stays somewhere around 13.9-15.3 during cruise you should be ok.

i would not say its always the life of a modded car it more like the hickups.

 

i dont think its a boost leak. car hits full boost. and whats even more weird, my prosport reads 100% accurate. and this little ticking noise on the passenger side under the hood has been around for awhile. no clue what could be. but hey, im running the tial 44mm, should i have the dumptube on it? it doesnt really seem like theres enough room for it, too close to the frame. but a friend of mine said flames shoot out of it? really?

 

are you running a boost control solenoid? if so they tick

 

gmbcs. but its only when on the throttle. even the slightest touch of it. once you let off, it immediately quits. but it is in that area it seems.
