I thought Id ask on here before I go bug driftmotion fpr the 80th time and also to get peoples thought in this problem, ok, I replaced spark plugs on my car and now it misses but only at a certain point, the missing begins around 4,000 rpm and about 6 psi of boost, so as soon as that happens power is lost and I get a fatty misfire, my fpr is little whack too but Im sure its not causing the problem, and the plugs are those E3's thats all they had up here in victorville i was a little pissed cause they had 6 NGK Irdiums but o well, let me know what you guys think. Timing, the plugs, wires?

code 52 would explain why it seems to miss and feel lack of power, do a KS rewire and if that doesnt help then you can call driftmotion. i cant remember the link but it was fairly simple to do. and i believe someone on this forum sells a rewire kit.

A mod list would help. How is your FPR "wack"?

Just an FYI, you CAN gap iridiums, the manufacturers (sp?) just tell you not too because some swinging dick is going to come along with one of those round gapping tools that fit on your keychain and try to gap with that, instead of using the proper tool for the job, which is only 5-6 bucks.
