i went to streetdreamzny's house today on my way home from long island..... he calls me and says i got on it and then it died.... anyway he towed it back to his house. we crank it see lots of gas....... i say hmmm maybe its flooded try push starting NADA.... then i notice one coil plug is not there for twin power and nof tells me the power light isnt' on. i finally find the other plug after a while it was buried in there. hook it up. car starts right up. just wondering if anyone else has seen a failed twin power

yeah, i had a failed one... i was coming home one night and the car just died at a red. i smelled electrical fumes so i thought maybe i burned my ecu or something... turns out that when i unplugged the twin power, she fired up again. took her to kdr the next day and dave gave me a puzzled look, showed me a bloated hks unit, and said, "hum... defective unit..."
but no... nothing as how you were describing it vos
