5-7 if im really mean to it =/ mainly 3-5. I'm not going into WOT until i get that $Hlt fixed

take the s/c belt off before you pop that motor.

I re-read your shopping list, you change to al104 plugs?

I watched your video, the first pull stutter seemed like it hit a large amount of KR and was significantly reducing timing.

- Check LTFT's with Aeroforce for Vacuum Leaks (16.4 or even possibly a real high number such as 14.7+ will more than likely indicate a Vac leak or another issue. LTFT's are a very valuable parameter to see what the engine is doing).
- Remove blower belt and do more WOT pulls to see if it continues
- If not there, put belt back on, remove BBV solenoid plug and try again
- Swap plugs to either AL104s Copper or AL605's Copper.
- Get a fuel pressure gauge, and check fuel pressure, could be fuel starvation

Also, search around for a picture floating on this website. You can reroute your BBV to "fix" the issue if it is bad.

Alright. I'll run through all of those things today and post here how it goes. Thanks for the tips guys I'll keep you updated

Are you not tuned?

I've got a reptile canned tune ATM

Reptile is pretty solid when when it comes to tuning and knowledge on these cars. But, nothing will beat an in car tune, to adjust how your car reacts to the mods.

Yeah i'm thinking i'm going to save up and buy HPtuners, but even then i'd have alot to learn. I was thinking about asking 98Fvckingcrazyvet (lol) if he could do a tune for me but he doesnt get back to north dakota until February i think soooo idk. I'm just going to do what i can to get rid of KR without an in car tune for now. soo colder plugs... and maye 1.9 rockers or something? i have another issue now too. I think the starter took a crap on me. I checked all of the fuses, swaped out the relays (i had a couple extras i grabbed from the JY), checked battery and its connections and all of that was good. so i'm thinking starter. i need to get these issues sorted out so i can enjoy my damn car... lol

oh, and i turned the motor by hand and check the oil to make sure it wasn't locked up lol. i would have been royally pissed if it was haha

For all the guys telling him to unplug his electrical connector to the bbv... He doesn't have that solenoid. Its deleted. He said it twice... Lol. Its a topswap so the car doesn't have that harness there anyways. Bottom port of the bbv is open to atmo and top goes to vacuum how it should be.

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but when was the last time you changed your fuel filter?

id say 10 thousand miles ago. why do you ask? think thats causing fuel starvation?

Plugged fuel filters can cause all sorts of issues. Kr, hesitation, lack of power misfires.

When I first got my 01 it would fall flat on its face under wot. Lots of kr and the cel even started flashing at me a few times. I changed my fuel filter and it ran like a raped ape.
