What have you done to your MSP today?

[GiJoe]

after you spend 15 years paying back loans and working menial BS cases that aren't important enough for the people who make the real money..

I don't mean to bag on you, I just wouldn't be willing to sacrifice that much time and put myself that far in debt... to each their own.

well you didnt bag on me lol, I aint in school any more... money difficulties... didnt want to pull out student loans after seeing the hardships my parents went through with loans and the government... that and the world really doesnt need another Lawyer.... but yeah I just ecided to stop with my B.A.

its COP for 2 cylenders, and CNP for 2... i see your point... however length isn't so much a concearn for performance nearly so much as for failure (spark energy travels at almost the speed of light)

well.... If people are worried about how quickly the charge travels through the wires... they could always have someone make gold wires....

as for the Bosch's, I 100% agree.

How fast it travels isn't the issue its how much travels as well. You have two plugs basically getting power straight from the coil itself, one plug has a short plug wire to travel through and another one has a normal length wire to travel through...now with as much resistance than is in those plug wires there is no way all those plugs are getting the same spark

def. going to swap out to a step colder plug and see if im having a pre detonation problem.

still a lil confused though cause it was not doing this with the stock coils.

stock coils are strong..

I'd bet if you check the ohms of the short wire against the ohms of the long you'd find a nearly unmeasurable difference.

Try swapping back and seeing if the problem persists. Are all the ignition parts you installed new? you may be getting a weaker spark due to one (or more) of the parts you swapped.
could just be coincidence too...

well I can see this being true... but I have doubts that it is enough to cause any detonation problems... but then again there is a way to find out... only if I could find that volt meter!!!! It's been MIA whenever I need it, but when I dont it's always there...(freak)

got to it before me... I saw somethin shiney again...

to switch back to stock would mean taking back off the VC and swapping back to the stock VC. Which isnt hard i just dont have the VC with me its at my buddies house who is in VA right now.

A firm kick to any door will open it...... or an axe... or a breaching charge...

 

[Wagonbacker9]

if you have the ignition parts, you could install em without the correct valve cover in relative safety for a couple minutes just to diagnose..

damn those shiney objects.

 

[GiJoe]

and yeah you wouldnt need the valve cover for a quick test....

 

[GiJoe]

AH wagon... your seriously loosing points towards your Awsomeness of the Day Award.... basically saying what I say just worded differently and before me.... lol

 

[Wagonbacker9]

hey dude... just cuz you're runnin slow today...

I had 1 day where Dub beat me to like 3 posts, and a couple other beat me as well. It was seriously depressing...

 

[GiJoe]

well, I usually am slow, the only time I'm on the forums is after I gett off of work or when I am bout to leave for work... so either way I am tired, so I dont feal so bad.... but seriously stop it.... lol

 

[fatti03msp]

well on the stock VC the coil packs screw into it, i cant screw packs into the stock VC, but i might try it today and see how sturdy it will be

 

[Wagonbacker9]

yeah, I spend quite a bit of time on AT work... surf while reports are populating and such... I've become quite the forum ***** since we finished our rollout... post count basically doubled in a month and a half. lol

I'm sorry, I'll work on not stealing your posts though.
