Since you replaced the plugs/leads 2 months prior... ...Only thing not replaced so far is Plugs / Leads but both were replaced around about 2 months ago roughly with new... I would hold off 'til I did more diagnosis, especially @ $120 a throw. Plus a bad plug or lead is not something you would 'dri...

Silly question, but assuming you had the DFI main plug off did you tighten the 7mm bolt on it? I once did that on an engine swap and drove around days before it started kicking and backfiring.

Don't mount it above the thermostat as it's not always open during operation and will give false cold readings sometimes. Ill probabl...
