It just blinks fast repeatedly, I counted like 15 lol with no end to it.. The fa cel thread says that fast flashes (1/2 sec) = single digits. Well it just blinks fast once then 1/2 to 1 sec break then flashes fast once again.

To make it better my car "feels" like it lost pep. All I did was change my bosh plugs for some NGK's and now this happens

no one knows?

post a video of it if you can, it might be a 10, which would be the a sec blink repeatedly.

It either can be, two 10 digits with pauses in between making #20. Or it can just be two 1 digit numbers making #2.

Every cycle of a CEL will have a pause for about 2 seconds, so it can pull up the next code if there's any. If not it will just continue the same code over and over again.

Do it at least 5 times to be accurate. Thats how I do it whenever a CEL goes on, I jump the pin and let the codes cycle about 5 times so I can verify how many codes show up. GL

Well seeing on how Im obd1 that isnt going to work. As soon as I shut the car off it went away. I started it back up and it didnt come back.

Sorry

z6hatchboy

A #10 will do that (it happened with me), it could also easily be anything under #10 flashing fast then pausing and doing it again.

Not sayin your wrong I just dont see a IAT causing a performance WOT issue, But you might be right

z6hatchboy

For the lack of performance, did you gap your plugs when you installed them? But i dont know how changing plugs will throw a code.

gapped to .52

z6hatchboy

Well i dont know the gaps for your motor but make sure they're correct, that only thing i can think of for your lack of performance.

lol.. Yea I just search HT and google and I cant seem to get a straight answer on this..

B16 goes any where from .40 to .54 lol. I have mine at .52 I think I will try a small gap and see what happens

z6hatchboy

Sounds like the right plan to me.

I have a B16A3, and I had replaced the plugs, gapped them to precisely 52, and it ran terrible. It would hesitate tremendously under WOT, and slight hesitation under normal driving. I reduced the gap to 32, and its running wonderful. BTW, its a stock B16A3 tuned on Chrome. Oh. . . I had gapped my plugs to 52 cuz I had read somewhere here in H-T that 52 was stock B16 gap.

Well, .040, .054 and .052 is what I think you mean.

The stock gap is .052. The stock plug is the NGK Laser Series PFR6L-13 / 3141.

Other NGK plugs that fit the B16A2/B16A3:
Standard (Copper Core): BKR6ES-11 / 5553
V-Power (V-Cut Electrode): BKR6E-11 / 2756
G-Power Platinum (Single Platinum): BKR6EGP / 7092
Iridium "IX" (Single Iridium): BKR6EIX-11 / 3764
Laser Series (Platinum & Iridium): IFR6E11 / 6741
