just curious? when does the secondary injectors kick in? would it happen to be around 4000rpm in second gear?



i also remember cracking sounds the previous days to the blow up...... i described it to "thecamel" as leaves in my tranny tunnel, which a ton of sparks could sound the same....



sean (thecamel) is gunna help me tear down the engine and diagnose what happen

1 day, in and out, you just need to push yourself



as far as that crackling noise, I would bet that when you changed the wires, you did'nt push them on the coils enough. I once bought those shitty jacobs wires, and they would not stay on the coils. I thought I finally had them on good, started the car, and had that crackling noise, shut off the lights, took a peak, and the ****** boot slipped off again, and the spark was jumping everywhere

Weird that you went non-sequential then shortly afterwards you blow your motor. Who helped you go non-sequential?

thanks mike!!!



and stick with the sequential.... i loved your car's powerband when i rode in it..... and you can barely feel the transition



the only reason why i wanted to do the non sequential mod was cuz my car was being funky at 4500
