quick question

Post by exile84 »

hey i am having a really hard time getting my car in time after swapping out to a new disty. It runs so much better in limp mode. Does anyone know if i leave it in limp mode, will this hurt the car? I really need the car, but don't have the time to mess with it until monday or tuesday. Thanks in advance.

Your fuel system will constantly run in open-loop mode, ecu will make complete guesses for air/fuel mixture. You'll likely burn a ton of fuel, and I'd think you'd eventually do some damage.

How are you having a hard time getting it timed? Are you using a timing light? It shouldn't be that difficult, it helps to have another set of hands to either move the dizzy, or hold the timing light.
