ok, so I did a data log this afternoon, and from the look of it my Knock retard is basically pegged at 15 deg. That seems very bad. What do you think it could be? Vaccum leak?

Ok, so here comes my non-automotiveness. How do I know a plug is fouled? ANd how can I tell physically that the IAT is damaged ( not likely the car was fine after I installed the AH) I think I have to log LT KR first though. I'll keep you posted. Thanx for the help.

If there is any type of "junk" corroded onto the tip of the plug it's considered fouled. Only signs you could possibly see of physical damage to the IAT is if the element is bent or nicked, but that's not a guarantee. I believe I may have a spare IAT laying around you could borrow...no harm in trying. I'll check tonight when I get home. Hopefully more data logging will give (Josh) some type of insight into what's going on.

So I just ran out and did another log. But first I re downloaded 9r04 and reset the tuner. No KR this time around and the car felt much better. Less boggy and smoother even at idle. So for now I think I fixed the issue. Only thing I can think of is I downloaded the tune before doing the cal update and maybe that screwed something up.

I figured it was something like that. I returned it to stock today and at first it was a little hesitant but after 25 miles or so it got smooth again. I guess before I wasn't letting the car relearn the stock tune. SOmetimes I hate computers.

I am not sure what Ernie did with the center caps and lugs. I have only seen the pics shown. I have not seen the wheels on the car as of yet. I am waiting to see pics from the Woodbridge show. I was not able to make it but Ernie and Lori took my car.

Well I will let you all know how much of an A** I am. While I was at work greg was over at the dealership in Delaware so I was going over there to meet him. Anyway as I was driving there he was leaving so he called me and said I just saw you. I told him to pull over and I would mmet him which he did. Anyway since I drive to fast I past where he was stopped. So I pulled into a mini mall to turn around. And while I was backing up and I did look all I saw was parking spaces. What I did not see was I was centered on the island walkway. So I just backed up hitting the gas and since I was turning I backed the driverside exhaust pipe into the island and the turning just twisted it to the point it was almost into the driverside tire. Which by the way did look real cool. the exhaust coming out the side behind the tire lol. Anyway too to an exhaust shop and since my tip was messed up and I am a perfectionist I had him do both sides without tip. Yes it louder and yes it has the the drone now. Its not really bad at all I just dont like noise I guess I am getting older lol.
