engine missfire with sts

Why are you using stock spark plugs? You should be running at least 1 heat ranger colder and gapping them at around .035 to be safe.
Try changing to TR6 plugs and see if that helps the situation. Also look for all the obvious signs like water in the oil, blowing of smoke, oil pressure, etc etc. Hopefully you didn't break anything :( |
:werd: TR-6's are a must with FI dude :thumb:

:stupid: what they say....

dammmmmmm my oil looked like a milkshake but only at the oil return nothin at the dip stick am going to run a compression test today what should i do for the future to aviod this crapppppppppp :turd:

dreaded number 7 again :bang:
|
yup i blew the motor with that sts kit what the hell can i do know i have to rebuild but i dont want it to blow again???? what do i do ?
|
it depends on how fast you want to go. that piston broke for a reason, your tune had to be off and the hoter plugs didn't help either.
one cheap way to go and gain some power would be just a stock 6.0swap. i would put valve springs in it but other than that just slap it in and WATCH YOUR TUNE! |
