DONT change freeze plugs in car.

[Foxfan88]

some of you may know of my leaking freeze plug problem. well friday i finally fixed it.

wasnt a job i would want to do again. the procedure was simple. not many bolts and stuff to remove, just a dirty nasty job, my neck hurt from holding my head up to see stuff etc.

wasnt fun at all.
had to pull the mounts out of the car, jack the engine up and knock the old plugs out. and we used dorman copper expandable plugs with a nut on them to expand them out, a funny little deal but seems to have worked.

held water all yesterday so i guess it worked.

and finally got my tweecer installed. its a neat deal and i got hit with a wall of confusion, there is alot of power at your fingertips with the tweecer. going to have do some some serious trial and error and tinkerering but i am up for the task.

Are you using bineditor or calcon/caledit?

using BE and EA

BE and EA are excellent programs. You are going to find them soo much easier to work with than Caledit/calcon.

One suggestion. Although it may cost you some serious money in gas. Only change one variable at a time then test drive. Also keep meticulous track of your tunes and what you've changed. I suggest an excel spreadsheet with the tune file name and a description of the changes. I had like 20 something tunes after the first day of working with my tweecer and it started to get confusing.

Also dont make huge changes in any one area....make sure you take your time to read through the actual strategy/definition files so you know what parameters are going to effect what. It can get quite convoluted.

good luck man.
