[QUOTE="94pacecar435, post: 16207, member: 8286"] well let me explain everything that happened, first we opened the fmu and we opened the four bolts inside that we were not supposed too, oops!!!! but we are guessing someone had already done that before us cause it had a half a borken ring inside. good news , we told the shop that we opened it and they told us it had to be sent to vortech to be repaired,but told us they had a new one frome a previous owner who went straight to injectors, so he sold it to us for for $40!!it was calibrated for 19lb injectorsso we just used the calibration kit we bought.we installed it and everything, the iat is good and we intalled it before the vortech,pics below,the maf was one of the reason the car was idling like shit, we moved it and the car works a lot smoother, we took the spark plugs and the gap was .040 on 5,6,7. and 8.on 1 ,2 ,3 it was .045 and on 4 it was .030 that was from stock when we first installed the plugs about 6 months ago.we decided to toss the 764 platinum and went with 764s copper and all gapped at .035.we installed evrything back together and fixed a small vacuum problem on the regulator hose . when putting everything back together, i noticed that on the distributor cap, the firing order didnt make sense , all this time i had 3, and 7 mixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hammer: thats the reason that it seemed like it was running rich but 6 plugs came out white and 2 black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im a retard!!!!!! well everything back and the doesnt hesitate or anything but the idle is still not perfect and it pops through the exhaust a little, nothing like before but still does a little.do i need to mess with the timing now???or is that normal???well let me know waht u guys think and pics below....
