  • Messed up spark plugs?

    Hello, I installed my JB4 and HKS spark plugs gapped to .22 a couple days ago, I'm in Arizona so only 91 octane is available. I ran map 1 a few times and it was working great really pinningme to my seat, I hit it last night and there didn't seem to be much boost being built. This morning I add some e85 to get to a e30 mix just incase it was the gases fault. I ran maps 0 though 2 and there seems to be a lot of timing being pulled and it doesn't feel any more powerful then stock so I'm wondering if I messed up somewhere with the spark ups or the JB4 installation. Thank you

    You'll have problems if you gapped it to .22, I hope that was a typo, it's .022.
    Reset your ECU by disconnecting the battery for 5 min. It will reset the adaptives it's learned, and start you from scratch.

      Agree with AWDGT2. Also appears you are having timing being pulled.

        I'm sorry about that I definitely meant .022. I reset the ecu and that seems to have helped with the timing being pulled except for ign 4 that one is still really funky and honestly the car doesn't feel any faster then stock, unlike the first night I installed it where there was a definitely difference between map 0 and map 1

          The log looks good, even plug 4 is OK. That plug is the easiest to get to on the drivers side. I would pull it and check gap and ensure it was not loose. IMHO, butt dyno's aren't necessarily the best gauge for HP. A Dragy is one of the best tools to use when it comes to what worked and what didn't.
