Just went from tr55s to tr6s last night.. Believe my gap was at 32... I had to unplug my computer to run my nitrous line and when I first started it wouldn't run.. Unhooked batery for about 15 seconds and then it started right up.

Did you work on anything else? Any sensors unplugged?

Sounds like either you do not have a plug wire on all the way or you cracked the porcylin on a plug.

Once it starts it seems to run fine, it just has hard time firing.

Fired up fine this morning. Not sure what the deal was last night. Code is a broken temp sensor.

Have you driven it yet? Might not run like **** if it's not under load. Once you put it under load it might start to sputter.

Broken temp sensor is going to put fuel in it cause of the default temp. Fix the sensor and have the tuner lean it out a bit more at idle and put 3-4 degrees in again at idle. it will run better than ever.

Yes it drives fine, no sputtering. It was running extremely rich that must of been the problem, makes sense now.

Sounds like maybe the connector was damaged? I see it happen alot with header swaps and plug swaps.

Yea the plastic that the connector snaps on to was bent over and you can see the wires. I got a new one going on today.
