sounds like a bad sensor in rear, should be around the rear brakes in the inside of the hub.

Carb, what go backwards in time? I like messing with wires, guess I also like turning a key and the car starts, no more pumping the petal.

I like the 20* cooler intake temperature, the better fuel/air mixing, and the fact that my car will now not surge so bad in the morning after I go carb. EFI is a bitch. Carb is much smoother. My car surges for 5-10 minutes on a cold day, hardly driveable. A carb will richen the mixture at idle (electric choke) and helps stop that crap from happening. It also looks a helluva lot better under the hood than a rats nest of wires, but i guess that is subjective. IF a Carb and EFI have the same A/F ratio through the power band, the carb WILL MAKE more hp due to the fact that it has a cooler intake temperature due to the fuel/air reaction in the manifold and it also uses immulsion instead of just squirting the gas into the base of the intake runner...Superior mixing ability goes to the carb.

Sounds like you need to find a better tuner!

They cannot tune an A9L. I offered to spend half a grand on a tune and Lonestar Performance Dynotune in Dallas refused to fix it. THey said they would "try" but im not spending $500 on "try". They advised me to carb it. Should have done so from the beginning imho.
