Exclamation Just installed HKS DLI... Need help.

So yesterday I installed the HKS DLI along with a new set of NGK LFR6AIX-11 iridium plugs. Since the plugs come pre-gapped and the DLI will amplifie the ignition I did not gap them.

So I change the plugs and install the DLI, pretty easy straight forward install, cant really do it wrong( i think lol). Wire the ground to a current ground already on the ENGINE.

Drive the car everything seems fine, cant tell a diffrence. Probally a waste of money. but it looks cool (LOL) and it probally does help I just cant feel it.

So today rolls around and now my idle is a little jumpy not much and i have a check engine light.

My idle is definetaly not as smooth as before...

Also im running 100octane so its not the fuel....

Any response is appreciated!

Hopefully the code can lead you in a direction. There should be plenty of Socal DLI users to test out the unit. Let me know if you don't find anyone, I have one installed.
