Hmmm... I see my user name has been repeated three times... this has invoked my spirit, so here I am back from The Beyond...
Congrats on your
fast install Whooppee!
I was about to be jealous of your success but then your idler pulley fell off!
I think I still win the award for loosest nuts... loooooong story
I'm also glad--well, not
glad--gratified maybe--to learn that the rest of you are experiencing similar tuning issues. I've had a few baffling problems (idle control and voltage fluctuation problems) but in the end these were easily fixed, and unrelated to the pre-ignition. As Long stated, I was getting that distinctive "crackling" sound (sorta like furiously sizzling bacon) the first time hammering the throttle under load in any driving session (very much like what Camelll describes). I drive with it on Low most of the time--no other acceleration issues, just smooth power delivery in every gear. I installed NGK iridium 7 spark plugs before the compressor, and only used 93 octane fuel, so gas treatment was about the only adjustment I could make. Much better, though not gone altogether.
BUT I got the cheapee STP stuff--the Lucas or NOS products are better? Where did you buy?
