Default Nitrous Problems ???

I installed the HSW plate this weekend and then I sprayed the car with a 100 shot it seemed that the car had a ignition miss. I am running TR6 plugs and have the thiming retarted 2 deg from my tune. Should I retard it more or are my plugs not gaped right? Think they are at 45.

Only seemed to do it in 2nd and only once in 3rd there was no miss in 4th.

Pull the plugs out and check the gap. Did you put them in out of the box or did you regap them?

I put them in out of the box. I believe they were at 45 if i remember correct. I put them inlast year. Sorry for not remembering exactly. The plugs only have maybe 2-3 k on them.

Thanks

Hmm, out of the box they're a lot tighter gap than that. You sure they're tr6's? Do me a favor, jump over here and lets start to trouble shoot it.

ok i went back and looked the plugs are tr6 and are gaped at 60.

The car felt like was for lack of a better word bucking.

Think its becuse they are gaped to far?

It would certainly be a good place to start. Like others have said, try gapping it a lot tighter (around 35) and see how it feels.

Gapped at 60? That's more than likely the problem...

You definately need to bring the Gap back down to 35 and no more than that.
