    Oh and you want to measure MAF voltage going back to the ECU when the engine is running. It sends a 0 to 5 volt signal back to the ECU based on how much air is coming in.
    now i'm puzzled. how do i check the voltage back at the ecu if its plugged in? i'm still gettin the hang of electronic diagnosis. or am i just checking for voltage at that specific PIN with ignition in the "ON" position?

        You noob! You should always do spark plugs regardless when swapping a motor IMHO.

          Haha indeed. The spark plugs were fine though. I think that the short period of time that the car ran SUPER rich fouled them up good.

          I have the bosch 4 tip ones in there now, should I pick up the two tip NGK's?

            Most seem to prefer the NGK but I personally run the Bosch with no issues.

              I ran new NGK and Bosch plugs in mine - I had a nasty sputter that really dialed back when I went to Bosch..only drawback at this point is my idle is now lower.

              Side note though, driving to Cali and back with the swap seemed to have helped damn near eliminate my sputtering issue.

                I guess I will stick with these for a little while then...

                Interesting. The idle would be lower as a result of switching to a 4 tip plug? Never heard that sorta thing... what would be the reasoning behind this?

                  No clue honestly - I am pretty sure I am going back to NGK though. F that sputter, shit runs like racecar :rofl:
