If the code keeps reappearing, I can almost guarantee you that your plugs are fried. I've had to change a few sets of fried plugs because of the missfires, before the fuel system upgrade . And the Denso's are not cheap.

I rarely get it with < 6psi. It's the one time I tried the 7psi spring... it was there all the time.

They erase it and so far it didn't come back up.

So the harness causing this shit?

yeah.. you need to lay the harness flat on its back... Scalbert told me that the hardest part of the I/C set-up was the PnP... and he can easily throw it down and do a bench test and fix the problem... I beleive it is an injector control wire...
Ever since I layed the PnP flat I have not had an issue or code...

At the end of this month i will be tuning the car completley... and getting in touch with you.

Let us know how that works out (fitment, performance, etc) . I was told it's a good product.

here's a little info on the pressure plate, clutch and flywheel....and yes some of this is obvious....first the factory flywheel is a duel mass flywheel....it's two parts instead of a chunk of metal. the factory clutch a an unsprung raybestos deal...unsprung because the flywheel is duel mass...takes care of the chatter that way and smoothes out the engagement......the pressure plate is made by Luk....it is an automatically adjusting pressure plate...good when they are new...and for stock cars. not I made a clutch disc....engagement is very smooth thanks to the factory stuff...and it's capacity is about 30-40% greater than the stock disc. as far as trying to increase the clamping pressure of the pressure plate sorta goeas aginst the nature of the beast.....but there is a solution. make a single mass flywheel....for chatter use a sprung clutch disk...then a standard style pressure plate and set it to what ever clamp pressure you want. I've got a source for the fly wheels....the disks...the pressure plates....just haven't found a source for the ring grear for the starter ......looking at a retail price of around 7-800 for everything....made to order

so you bring up a 6 month old thread up about upgrading the ignition system trying to get takers on your clutch/fly wheel combo?

Yup....I was responding to something else that was brought up....in the same thread. hence the usage of the quotes. as far as age of the thread...one of the great things about forums is that old stuff gets saved....so if someone has new information...he can share it. as for takers on my clutch anf flywheel combo.....don't have one to give...I do know how to build them and where to get stuff done....and about how much a person should expect to pay for such a piece..... if I were trying to sell i would have included the price of the clutch I do sell for the factory style flywheel and pressure plate, as well a where to buy them....but don't worry I'm not going to try to sell on your forum and i wouldn't try to sneek a sales pitch in, the mods here have a Nazi type reputation regarding such activities :Þ

The reply was supposed to help you out obviously. It was a hint that noone will reply to what you asked.
