maybe all you need to do is like a total internal clean through some chemicals or i guess like you said the seafoam, thats definetly one of the first things im doing! it ran so rich when i had it on that day so im gonna clean it out.

guys theres something thats been on my mind as well... so i have the 2.8 pulley on this setup with the 60# injectors... but i dont have headers yet... i know its prolly not safe to run this pulley on stock 2.2 headers but i do plan to get some soon. is this bad for my engine under heavy acceleration?

Oooo that's wat I am using till my coppers come in. Yeah they say not to gap but they r always off. From being thrown and crap. Just be careful not to break thelil tip. But u should be fine

Well the way i do it is use a gapper to tell where they r at.. if they need to go down i find some way to genlty take em down.. if they need to go up just put them on the gapper and gap them where i want them.. and yeah try .34 on all of em and see how it runs

ok cool im doing that right now but at the moment im pissed because yesterday it ran good for the most part besides the little missfires, but late lastnight right before coming home i gave it some gas and the stupid engine power reduce message came on..... i thought the tune would disable that? and its happened twice today... do you know how to get rid of it? and im gonna gap the plugs now tho maybe its doing that because of the small missfires im guessing...

Try the plugs.. and if its that it might be the wires to the tb connector.. mines does that once in a while.. and do u know what code it throws when it says that?

I dataloged it and I think it's to the best that it's going to get. Now I have a real quick easy question... How do you put on a a-piller column or tripod holder without deploying or taking out the airbags and having a sensor go off? I got my three guages in today and I'm going to put them on soon this afternoon... Thatnks guys!

the airbag isnt in the A pillar. Just the cap for the screw says airbag. IIRC the airbag is right at the headliner. If you're real paranoid you can unplug your battery
