$10 entry and includes ride alongs. Bring dot approved helmet.

I think I would weight the truck down so it wouldn't drift anymore... did you get a 7th injector? is that the new parts since the meet? or change out to a uconn?

Two things going on. First. Stephanie is throwing a hissy fit. More coil pack codes, anything past like 60% load the truck misses. Im thinking more ucon problems. Just tried unplugging the battery. See what that does. Last resort will be to oull the ucon iut


Also, we might be leaving earlier. Like around 11 or so

11am Saturday? If I recall you plan on camping out Saturday and drift Sunday correct?

Yup leaving Saturday.


Mark. Spent and hour with a fellow hot rodder after work. Couldnt duplicate the concern. Also, on my lunch break the throttle bs started again. No codes, and can command full throttle as needed. This was after the battery cable was pulled.

After work, truck drove perfectly fine couldn't duplicate shit. Preformed votlage drops and resistance test on the throttle control wires. Nada nothing out of spec. The intial problem this morning felt kinda like spark blow out. Super intermittent. only went into positive mani pressure for a few sec. Felt fine. All plugs showed no signs of spark knock. Dunno.


Im gonna bring my stock injectors so I can remove the ucon if it throws more bs at the track.



Worth mentioning.... left to work really late today, ended up running into a sport bike on the freeway. Truck pulled excellent +130plus....no codes or problems. Truck drove perfect. Confused the hell out of the guy on his older cbr. Lol:blurock: these problems have generally been caused during partial throttle. Never very high load or near wideopen throttle. Which plays ok for an event where ill be commanding very high load.

So today the throttle pretty much cut out on me. Full throttle was 20% tps. I figured enough is enough. Re soldered every single wire that was tampered with. Unfortunately my mrk 1s computer was installed by a ****ing moron. I found random wire that were cut and twist tied back together... for what ever reason. One of the wire for the etcs was also tampered with. Low and behold, not even soldered. When I unistalled it, I cut wires as actually soldered it, but the wires that I was soldering were not even properly wired in.


So every single wire thay was tampered with was properly repaired as need.. took 3 solid hours of un****ing to fix it all.. Drove the truck home, and all is well.

Im goimg to keep driving the truck every day instead of the civic in hopes that this problem is finnal subdued before Saturday.





WE ARE LEAVING FROM SD AT 11AM sat. INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINLlY PLANNED 330pm Saturday! !!!!

If you get any more codes, please use your scan tool and pull the freeze frame data before clearing them and forward that info to me.

Loose and twisted wires will certainly cause problems, but at the same time I need to make sure you are 100% with the UCON.
