Thanks!

where do you install this 2 bar map sensor?

it goes in your muffler.
come on man. do your homework.

Nice stock Evo/STi beater.

haha im still learning more and more every day! thanks to you and everyone else

hahaha thank you...look at your car..congrats


Okay so a few weeks ago I was driving to get food and out of no where my car started to act funny..it was bogging and had a weird idle..I pulled over and Jim came to drive me home. Just to be safe.

Jim and I looked at things and tried different things... we also called Manny to see what he thought it could be..anyway we took the spark plugs out to see the gaps are all outta whack...cylinder 4 gaps prong..(I'm not sure what it is call) was pretty much touching and cylinder 3 gap was way to far apart..once we re gap them the car runs beautifully..it was really weird..I couldn't beilive it was something so little..anyway I am going to order a box of spark plugs just to have incase..and for when I do tune ups.

damn shannon, you can tell how little you boost around town by how black that plug is.

im still stumped on the closed gap on the #3 plug.

Your right its embarrassing how little I boost...its hard since I really go to work and home and its almost all back roads...I really need to go on drives like I used to and really enjoy the car..once I get some time...I should be ashamed.

Yea the spark plug was weird..I have had no problems since so that's good.

my stock 5sfe have been having weird idle and bogs sometimes and won't go past like 50mph. I'll check my plugs in the morning, I just switched them 20,000 miles ago haha...

Holy. How did your spark plugs got their gap all fudged up like that? Did it happen inside the engine? That's so weird. Also, do you gap your plugs yourself? Ive never ever gapped my Celica's plugs. I buy new V-Power ones and throw them in. Car always runs great.

my only guess as to how the gaps got messed up is detonation inside the cylinders put a lot of force on them.

Also, I've heard you're not supposed to re-gap spark plugs once they've been used. They're cheap so might as well replace them to be safe.

thats iridium plugs.

shannon uses coppers, bkr7's

even with copper, people say not to regap after they have been used.
either way, id get a new set cause those things sure are fouled.

agreed on the new set.
we definetly need to get a wideband to tune the part throttle driving on that thing.

You guys are 100% right..I have the plugs on order...since I needed a car to get to work we regapped..not a good idea but was desperate.
Yea Manny I def wanna get a wideband..hopefully soon ill be asking you about different widebands.

Im pretty happy with my UEGO, although I havent used any others

x2 to both

i like my innovate wideband with prosports gauge

so let me get this straight
the jim/shannon team now have-
a 5th gen shell, rjb's old car which has been fixed (who drives it?), and shannons 5sfte 6th gen
so whoever you bought the 5th gen back from had put a 5s in it?
i was thinking it was a 3sgte---

correct me if im wrong

I don't know if its the calibration issue on my innovate wideband, but when I plug my laptop in it totally reads differently compared to my db gauge. I would think the uego one is more accurate?

And I'm pretty sure the aem uego wideband is cheaper too, unless you plan on doing the DIY wideband.
