    small hesitation/miss after installing ignition box.

    Ok... Yeah, mine ran great at cruise and WOT as well. It was only during that transition when the bypass valve closed. It was like a very small spot where it was lean. It was really bad when in a higher gear with the cruise control on and transitioning for a small hill climb or something.

    Why are so many celebs seemingly using the N word lately? What gives?

    This is another one of those double standard stero type things. Until it's considered bad manners for ANYONE to use that word then: It's amazing how you hear all the time that black folks are OH SO OFFENDED by it but continue to support their favorite comedians and make them rich from...

    EGR Valve problems

    Don't quote me but I believe that there are TWO solenoids that deal with and feed the EGR. the TAD and the TAB. Both are in the location that jt has indicated above. I've discovered that doing voltage and resistance checks on these solenoids pretty much tells you NOTHING. They can test good...

    small hesitation/miss after installing ignition box.

    Fox Fan... Are you running a bypass valve? Have you done anything to change the EEC (i.e. are you still running closed loop)? I agree that your issue is likely spark related but also suspect that the trouble you're having probably coincides with your boost transition when the EEC is in closed...

    Ahhhhhhhh...... CA Smog with Speed Density SUCKS!

    Pop your hood. Tell them to identify and POINT to your mass air meter. When they cannot, tell them to look in their book. Ask them how it is a mass air car can possibly run without a meter THEN ask them if their book might POSSIBLY be in error. Once complete, have them refer to the 87...

    Dunno... Yours is the first time I've heard of this particular issue coming up. I mean... Any idiot (yes, even those that work for the DMV) should be able to look at your dash and see that there's no freaking light. lol

    remote start question

    You don't need to disconnect it... it just needs to be wired through safety switch. Youc an tap into the pig-tail that comes off of the front of the T5 Tranny. That will keep the starter form kicking in if the car is in gear. Have a REPUTABLE installer take a look.

    Ahhhhhhhh...... CA Smog with Speed Density SUCKS!

    Do you have a Haynes or Chilton manual with an electrical diagram? If I recall correctly, there are separate diagrams for the EEC pin-out for the A9L and one for the SD EEC.

    Can One Guy and 4 Jackstands Replace a Transmission and Clutch?

    It's a PITA but I've done it several times. I usually brace the tranny with my hands and knees to get it to align.

    Ahhhhhhhh...... CA Smog with Speed Density SUCKS!

    What kind of info are you looking for? Yes... there is a light (or rather a connection for one). No, it does not function on an 86. What else can we help with?
