Interesting KR and Timing issue
BTW, this thread would probably be better served over in the tuning section.

Update Just thought I would chime in and give an update. Seems some of the "issue" I was having with the car was voltage related. I had a failing alternator and it was playing havoc with the computer. Seems the electronics work best around the 13v range. So I upgraded to a higher output alt and changed out the pully to an overdrive unit (because I presently run a 20% underdrive crank pully). Now the voltage is rock solid at 14v and I have not had anymore KR issues. But I am having a ground issue now 
but that does not seem to be affecting performance just the flippin blinkers 
I chalk up the ground issue to the many miles this car has seen at the track; vibrations and better yet high frequency vibrations have lossened more than one bolt/connector and it seems a ground has suffered this fate as well.
Now I just have to find the sucker. So if anyone out there has a schematic of the turn signals and requisite ground point I would greatly appreciate an assist. Thanks all.

I had to buy a PowerMaster alt. to keep my battery( red top )charged. I kept frying the stock ones. I never had knock retard due to the sensers being removed. I had other electrical problems with the low voltage. i also wrapped the starter with insulation to protect it as well as a bunch of wires. We lost the crank senser wiring while on the dyno a couple of moths ago due to heat issues. Yes these cars electronics have a great current draw. Add any other electrical parts and your asking for trouble

Thanks... I will check out that ground and I should have some star washers floating around so I will stick one of those on.
It has definately been a labor of love to get my car back to the state it was before the engine blew back in Aug 07. Back then, jump in, fire it up and hang on but in reality the effort has been well worth it

Good read and information. Glad you got your car back up and running properly. I would of figured that the voltage regulator would have of been more accurate than 10V-15V. I guess that is the standard for mass production, seems a little high to me.
