coil on plug ignition

In my absence from ff.com I haven't seen how your car has been coming along. Looking very nice though, I love the red and black and how you've used them, right through to the turn signals. Man 225's are wide for a Festiva. Do you run those on Zippy as well?

its the thing with lights on the roof that light up and empty your bank accound each time you do somthing stupid on the the road lol jk... its stands for "coil on plug" ignition (1 coil per spark plug vs 1 coil for all 4 spark plugs...)

ya when i get it tuned and running good im gonna put them on the front, im just gonna leave the 195's on the rear...

its at the tuning shop now, getting it there was a PITA... i didnt know i had fried my coils so it was allways mis-firing and it was running super rich (like 12:1 at part throttle and 10.7:1 at idle lol.... but when it wasnt missfiring and bogging it was fine also i may need ANOTHER cam angle sensor... the one i just got is having another problem... im gonna see what he says or if he finds the problem... at 1500 and 3000 rpm the trigger goes wonky and gives a wrong reading and messes up the fuel input and makes it run like crap....

i feel so lonely right now, my car isnt just a few feet away anymore, its at another shop with another guy... she's cheating on me

hahaha she's your baby eh? In that case Raltiva must be feeling pretty unloved and neglected right now...

I hope you get that issue sorted out.

Wow, you are making some good improvements. Let me know when you get your car back and I will stop by. It is going to be fast, even without a turbo.

[sasquatch]

gonna go and maybe get the tuning done today but im not 100% sure... wish me luck

ooo a little funny bit that i forgot to add... when i was bringing to the shop i left my house i had about a 1/4 tank (with my gas gauge i think its a little higher...) and when i got to the closest gas station, only about a 10 min drive, i was on empty.... i had used a 1/4 of a tank to drive 10 min lol... and i never got past like 10% throttle lol... damn you 550cc injectors lol....

[sasquatch]

ok so i just heard back from the shop, i was having a sputtering problem caused by the CAS so i got him a new one and that fixed it, so its not sputtering anymore i should be going in tomorrow and should have it tuned by the end of the night

oh the anticipation...the anticipation!!

btw have have you already test fitted those 225/50R15's? And excuse my ignorance, but what's your suspension setup again?

no all i have done is sit them up next to the car... they are about 3/4s of an inch higher than the ones i have on now so i think i should be able to fit them no problems... if not ill roll the fenders a bit

i have the aspire suspension with civic coilovers on it....

Let us know how it goes Mike. I know your ready to be driving it again.

When I first installed my MS and 550's, my mileage was about 15 mpg. I've gotten it back around 30 now.

Pics and vids soon..................?

[sasquatch]

ya i was so happy to be driving it again, but it was weird when i was driving it it felt like i never left it... just like riding a bike

is 30 mpg the best you can get out of it? whats your afr's at cruise? care to post up your timing map too? or even the "non boost" side of it cause thats what im gonna be looking at lol...

ooooo and pics and vids... there will be LOTS of them

I know I could get better mpg's but I like to have it a little on the rich (safe) side, plus I run the a/c all the time.

At a cruise I'm aroun 14.5 -15.0

I'll get a screen shot of any map you want.

[sasquatch]

i think just the timing map should do... anything else i dont think ill be able to use lol...

[sasquatch]

going to the dyno on tuesday
