glowing red manifold

[nando]

where is your O2 sensor grounded?

it's fine if you do enough research before diving in. Of course you can really never do enough.. still learning lots myself.

[shiboujin]

Lots or problems guys lol the car stopped starting. I think I fouled my plugs really well. I'm going to take tuning from step 1 and see where I can go.

I have no ICV and I'm fairly sure I have no vacuum leaks. Megasquirt tuning is fun!

[nando]

19 degrees is actually too retarded.. for 2500rpm. why is your idle 2500rpm again?

[PiercedE30]

Yea, for idle it should be around 10*, maybe up to 14 depending on your setup or maybe even as low as 8.

[StreuB1]

19deg adv at idle LMFAO. thats not right AT all

[LowR3V'in]

do you have your ICV hooked up.
0 vac leaks?

[dashboardmonkey]

That's hot.

[Tchao]

This whole build is sloppy.

Id make sure you are really at 19* advanced. It only glows without load when your timing is wacked beyond belief.

[shiboujin]

eh could be. I redid the spark wiring and now it idles lower. still at about 1700 tho. I wonder why...

[evil_twin]

You might be running a bit rich with a misfire. My maxima did that when it was missing bad. I think you're dumping too much fuel.

[shiboujin]

well dude, if you have 2 potential problems and are not sure which is causing the lean condition, the logical thing to do would be fix one of them and see if it goes away...

i would start with the exhaust leak, esp if it's before the O2 sensor.

i thought you had a shop finishing this build now?

Leaks are fixed but the heat killed my spark wiring.

The shop flaked on me. Kept the car for 4 months and didn't do shit. So I took it back and am finishing it. 4 months wasted...

What's advance are you seeing at idle?
You sure the antilag isn't on?

It was idling at 2500rpms and about 19 degrees of advance.

You sure the antilag isn't on?

attachment relevant :D

Theres a leak in my exhaust so its off. The signal in my datalog is WAY shakey. I don't know if its because of the leak or because of bad wiring.
