    Would a bad coil set off trouble code?

    I have Predator tune in there. If it does it again I'll reload the factory backup and see if anything pops up.

    Would a bad coil set off trouble code?

    It was a mis-fire. The problem seems to have gone away now. Drove the car this morning for the first time since the problem started and it is running fine now. How does the computer know a coil goes bad? I had this problem once before, but that time the mis-fires were at idle and not...

    Would a bad coil set off trouble code?

    I thought that only cobra's had a knock sensor. How does a GT detect misses?

    Would a bad coil set off trouble code?

    My 02 GT started to miss under load. Checked the codes and there is nothing. Would a bad coil or misfire be picked up by the computer and display a trouble code? The problem started right after I filled the tank, so I might also have water in the gas. I put some dry gas in and plan to...

    reloading tune

    I had something like that happen also. This one was obvious. I had the car dyno tuned and the 91 octane tune install. At the same time the traction control was disabled. 2 start-ups later the traction control was back on and it felt down on power. How could the traction control go from off...

    racing harness and new seats

    Two things. 1. Do not use a harness without a roll bar. If you roll over and the roof crushes you are stuck upright and could break your neck. http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=922974&highlight=sparco 2. You must mount the harness parallel to 20 degrees. Anything more than...

    Anyone with a lift in their garage?

    I feel the house pain, although my situation is backwards. I had a house with a 23'x23' garage. Now live in an apartment with all my tools stuffed in a storage unit 8 miles down the road. Cannot even change my own oil anymore without turning it into a huge production.

    Interesting timeslip

    There was this guy in Rochester NY with an early 80's malibu. He had a 454 and some type of centrifical supercharger. Well done car with full cage, big brakes and a 6-speed. The problem was he had crap skinny Cooper tires. We asked him what his drag times were and he said 13.5 at ~130mph.

    What is this thing?

    It's a damper. Helps with a condition called "line hammer." If you are WOT and lift, you get a pressure pulse that can make a thumping noise. That damper is to prevent that noise and absorb some of the pulse to save other fittings from being stressed.

    What would you do.....(not car releated)

    Don't do it. Nothing good can come from it. Keep boning the new girlfriend.

    I only go to mobil or sunoco.

    Pinging, adjust timing or add fuel?

    91. That is what the tune was for. On 93 it seems better, but I cannot always find 93. I just want to adjust the 91 tune to get ride of the ping.

    Pinging, adjust timing or add fuel?

    It is an unchanged Diablo Performance Tune. I'll add a little fuel at a time and see if that helps.

    Pinging, adjust timing or add fuel?

    Did some WOT runs today on 93 octane. Seems to be better. I cannot always find 93 octane though, so what would be the safest thing to adjust, fuel or timing?

    Pinging, adjust timing or add fuel?

    I noticed it autocrossing Saturday and was on 91. I filled up with 93 on the way home and will test it out in a little while. A/F is unknown, running the diablo tune unchanged.

    Pinging, adjust timing or add fuel?

    Using the data log feature of the diablo looks like base tune is 14. At +5500 I see numbers as high as 41.

    Pinging, adjust timing or add fuel?

    I noticed some slight pinging at WOT from ~3500 and up. I have a diablo predator and am running the 91 octane tune. The car only gets 91-93 octane. I understand the pinging is the fuel igniting before it should by the heat/pressure in the cylinder. My question is should I advance or retard...
