Why is it that the Z convertibles are so hideous and the coupes look so good?

It has to be something wrong with the distributor...unless it's doing it with the old one which never threw the code...Some wiring may have come loose on your jumper maybe?

like said before you need a swivel socket. try to find a 14mm deep swivel socket. thats what i used. and a bunch of extensions. you have to go between the fuel filter and firewall. good luck!
I had a deep 14mm socket and it wouldnt' even touch the bolt head. It got stuck on the mount and on the firewall. I'm goin to try a small 14mm today with a swivle socket and see if i can get to it. BTW, I removed my fuel filter and the sensors on the firewall to get better access along with the heater valve. Still no good.

I was thinking a regular socket would work because its smaller. I might just have to pick up a wobble extension as they look promising. That or pick up a 1/4" set of sockets with swivel and extension and try it that way.

TRY this..... 1/4 inch short socket... put the socket onto the bolt first... either by getting under the car or even use a magnet and drop it on... then take a long 1/4 extension and pop it in... you may need 2 extensions.

a wobble extension may help also... if your not familiar with a wobble tip its a little more rounded out than a normal extension tip.. it allows for that slight degree of play to get in that extra tight spot. a swivel may be too much wobble for that spot.

No this code is important, in the datalogging you can see the rpms shoot up to 7800 and back down to 1300 3 times (while idleing) the motor doesnt know where it is. Im going to bypass my harness and run two new wires into the ecu, other htan that i cant thing of anyhting

For whats it worth i cant entirely blame him. I sent him the plugs so it was my plug, his crimp job was mint, it just my plugs wouldn't hold the pins properly.
