Glad you're back in business!

I had a similar experience the first time I ever gave up and took my truck to a shop...

Misdiagnosis, out hundred$ and I ended up fixing the problem myself....turned out I had the same issue rear it's head a few more times since then and I have the knowledge to fix it wherever I'm at now

I'm still pi$$ed, but I guess "money well spent"!

 

So when I got home today, i got to experimenting. I tried both the ignition coil that came in the LCE kit and the stock unit: ran fine. Wired up the HI-6S box, and tried it through both coils: misfires. These aren't bad misfires, but they are throughout the range.

So seven though I did notice much less power climbing hills, she drives once again. Now I guess I need to do some figuring on this whole Multispark ignition thing.

 

For sure, learning the hard way teaches good lessons.

I had every tool neede with me, but i remember when I left for my trip I though "why would I ever need to check my timing on the side of the road?" so I left my strobe at home. After this, my strobe will come on road trips.

 

Oh, and i had a brand new set of spark plug wires I was testing with and without at every step

 

and to add to my posting madness: I replaced every single wire, and now no misfiring! the wires that came with the kit with ring terminals for the actual connection to the coil were damaged. Under the skrink wrap at the terminal, there were only a few strands of copper.

I still think I will leave the HI-6S box out of the equasion for now

 

glad to hear YOU fixed it lol
being as u said u was a hoarder, maybe u should start carrying a "spare kit" with extra parts and tools. might be a good idea in general when going on long trips or excursions.

 

I did, I had everything I needed except the knowledge of what was causing my misfire. I fixed it in their driveway with my parts and tools.

 

In fact, on day 4 of the trip, it became apparent to me that I needed a little more verticality. I happened to have the tools and parts necessary to raise her, so I did exactly that.
