: Good job on the 15.4...

: Doesnt the heat soak really piss you off? I mean it's like you know you have a quick car, but when you really need to be quick and spank someone you cant because your car is hesitating/sluggish.

: It's getting to the point where I cant stand driving my car anytime after about the first 10 minutes of driving. It's just slow as a snail.:(

- Is there any way to tell if the KS is for sure bad? I mean I dont want to waste the time/money if I'm not eve sure it's bad =) nm James (92 SE auto) 17:26:46 6/21/2002 (0)
- Ah! I've been looking for you. You changed yours and it fixed the heat soak sluggishness?? n/m Jeff92se (92se) 14:51:15 6/21/2002 (4)
  - Nope, but when the problem got better after I advanced my timing, I added it all up... RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:04:05 6/21/2002 (3)
    - It could be the KS is more sensitive when old. It does indeed pull the timing way back. Ecu should only do something when the KS sends a singal though n/m Jeff92se (92se) 15:14:27 6/21/2002 (2)
      - By the way, a new KS is about $124 from Courtesy n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:26:15 6/21/2002 (0)
      - Well I've never heard a ping on my engine, and I am running 91. KS's are known to cause hesitation when bad. n/m RosenKen (93 SE 5spd) 15:25:40 6/21/2002 (0)
