Well so much for my job....I was Laid-Off today !

It was kinda expected, but not this soon. Oh well Looks like I will be tightening up the belt and leaning out on things. I will be looking for anything that can pay some fast cash....So keep me in mind.

Mike....you were censored ! Lol

I've been fighting a new problem....my Z has a new code and Mis-fire !

I first tried to reset the ECU and nothing ....then I decided to take the Coils off the plugs to see if there was a problem...nothing....then I found that one of the coils had a split and separation in it and bought a new one to replace it.
The original code said it was my Cylinder 4 that was the mis-fire...however the plug I replaced wasn't cylinder 4...I replaced what I think is cylinder 6.
So we will see what happens on Sat.

If I can't get the mis-fire or codes to stop then I won't be able to race on Sunday.

That sucks, Chris. I get P0300 about once every month when it's cold, which I believe is the random misfire.

Have you followed the wiring from the coil pack to see if anything else was messed up? What does your plug look like?

i wonder if the stuttering problem you had/have was a precursor to this
