I'm talking to Vince right now about this issue, He wants to know what spark plugs you're running at what gap, when it's happening in the RPM range and what the AFR's look like when it happens.
Thanks!
i had it at 6k and 15 a/f ratio, of course I backed off the second I saw the a/f.

Mine always goes off in 2nd gear around 6500 RPMS on my 13 PSI tune... Now that I'm pushing 20 PSI it always goes off. I'm recirculated as well still no dice...

There's a tool you can use to do it but Idk if I trust it... Probably just play with the screwdriver with a thick rubber handle LOL. Anyone else have a better way of checking them?

Damn spanky I'm sorry you have to go through that. I'm going to replace my fuel filter money and add some fuel additive and see if that helps the misfire problem. Vince said the logs look like my fuel pump isn't keeping up

my coabalt has the lsj fuel pump on it and i'm still seeing spark knock up top. i have the interceptor with a fuel pressure sensor and it's not losing fueling so that's not the issue. it my be plugs in my case. as for the icm, i had one go bad after about 60k. mind you that icm had seen a lot of wot high rpm pulls and some serious nitrous use. cost me $100 brand new to replace so it wasn't that bad.

hell come to think of it coner if you need an interceptor mine with the fuel pressure sensor might not be a bad investment.

The weird thing is it doesn't do it on a full tank. I'm hoping the fuel filter will help
