Then you realized your plugs were fouled up and went with the 1-step colder plugs instead of the 2-step colder plugs. Makes perfect sense now!

Wthellio. How come mine barely made it down the street. Then it wouldnt start up, and while its trying to start up it fouls my plugs then I cant start at all

I had to do a sililar drive with larger injectors and stock belt and ended up geting lucky by pulling a vacuum port. It raised the A/F enough to not fowl plugs on an hour drive.

By no means the recommended way, but it worked for me.

You guys are crazy. You spend thousands on all this and risk washing your cylinder walls (and permanently losing compression) rather than paying a little extra (or nothing with AAA) for a tow?

^ Good point. I'm cheap and got lucky. Just pay the tow, or pay to have the injectors installed at the tuner.

QUICK QUESTION,,,,,,Are you using the UNICHIP that comes with the Vortech kit to tune? Or did you get the tuner kit? Just wondering. I want to go FI but need to figure out what to use to tune, and who can tune it for me locally.

Thanks..
