Just to clarify, the car will run like shit, especially on boost or at serious load after reconnecting the negative battery terminal. You have to cruise around and turn the car off and on before the system goes out of this check mode. Even still, it will feel less sharp and responsive for a while until it relearns.

I don’t think your problems is or ever was the spark plugs. They don’t fail so precipitously. Moreover, how did they look? Was there visible damage, especially on cylinder 1’s spark plug? I’m guess not, and I don’t think the other plugs would do so poorly, even at a significant gap change.



what is this check mode you speak of? With an ECUTEK I should be ready set go? thats all I did when I installed the SC.



The car was having a problem before I even started working on it. So either I have a sensor gone bad or engine failure. Its idling perfectly fine. I flat out dont get it
