I just installed an MSD cap, rotor, wires and Zex plugs. My engine light keeps coming on. When I removed the old plugs 3 and 4 were severly damaged. Please Help. Engine is a 1st gen B16 minor bolt ons.

 

what cel codes is it throwing out?

 

yea wut codes are they?

 

after market ecu no flashing lights, any other way to find out?

 

What aftermarket ecu? AEM, Motec, Autolink???

 

Wish I knew. Mechanic said put it in so I did. If it has the flashy lights where are they??

 

u might wanna try chaning the alternator. or if u got cash take it to the shop or somethin. sorry bro.

 

I am now beginning to doubt it is an aftermarket ecu but try this.

Pull back the carpet in the passenger footwell.

You should see a brass colored plate with a little window in it.

Turn the car to the on position so the dash lights come on.

Check to see if you see an LED flashing through the window.

Note: It should flash some while the CEL comes on at first. Then it should shutoff and begin to flash codes if there are any.

Codes are read as follows:

One long blink=10
One short blink=1

ie blink.......blink..blink..blink........pause...... .blink.......blink..blink..blink=code 13

The sequence will repeat itself over and over again. Good Luck

EDIT: Also how were the plugs damaged??? What do they look like?

 

4 had no electrode left and some of the ceramic was missing and the hook was gone, 3 was the same stuff just not as bad. I think the nitrous did it??

 

just checked there is no little window on the ecu?? It has a LH at the top and a big flat head screw in the center.

 

Can you take a picture and post it? What does it look like?

 

Ill try at lunch time thanks
