Have you contacted the tuner?

onederful100 · December 26th, 2007, 01:45 PM

dont have any suggestions, but i was looking to get the paxton 2200 myself in a few months.

1FastFox · December 26th, 2007, 02:03 PM

You notice anyhting out of the ordinary with the plugs? white or black? Double checked the gap and tried adj.?

hammeron · December 26th, 2007, 03:33 PM

hey pr gt, do you ever get a
check engine light, and if so,
what is the DTC code

1FastFox · December 26th, 2007, 03:36 PM

If he did get a light I would assume it would be a random misfire code...

onederful100 · December 26th, 2007, 03:43 PM

and I may just join up w/ the whipple crew, or at least sign the FI guest book, not quite sure of what FI i'm going with just yet. walking the fence between whipple HO and paxton novi 2200

hammeron · December 26th, 2007, 05:58 PM

yeah that is a hard choice, both
are excellent units

pr gt · December 27th, 2007, 05:28 AM

hammeron no code, 1fastfox the plugs are white

1LOUDGT · December 27th, 2007, 06:05 AM

I have the same system, never had such problem. Did you purchase a complete kit? Cantune or dynotune? If it’s a cantune you may have a corrupted file.
I’m with Chris get on the phone with the tuner.

pr gt · December 28th, 2007, 10:01 AM

fix my problem, it was a bad cop, now she is running ok , next is dynoing to see what she is making ( hp, tork )

Grabber523 · December 28th, 2007, 10:06 AM

It's nice to keep seeing people having problems with these peice of shit coil packs...

doug@suttonhp · December 28th, 2007, 10:22 AM

The coils are not that bad compared to a 3v motor that has a good amount of miles on it with stock plugs. The metal sleeve that goes way down in the cylinder gets rusted after a while and then it makes it a pain in the a@# to get the plugs out.

Grabber523 · December 28th, 2007, 11:32 AM

I've seen 5 or 6 guys on this forum who have had to replace at least 1 (one guy had 6 bad coils) COP since they got their 3V's...made me think mine were shot too...not the case, but stuff like that sticks in my head in case I need it later...

I can tell you all about shitty plugs too! LOL!! There's a reason I went back to stockers...

usafimj · December 28th, 2007, 12:48 PM

So stock plugs are best for FI

Not necessarily...however I went through about $700 worth of Autolites that went to crap after a few misfires, and the Motocrafts are still running strong. I've had Ford techs tell me that these cars don't like aftermarket plugs, and I can't help but agree. I know most people run the Autolites without a problem or maybe they just don't recognize when they have a problem...I'm not saying you have to run stock plugs, nor do I recommend the stock heat range above 10 psi, but I still have yet to have a problem or have the ECU pull timing due to detonation since I went back to stockers. When I up the boost, I'm gonna try those silver-whatever plugs...the ones with the standard style grounding strap in a colder heat range, because the risk of a hot tip igniting the fuel mix is too great. Just information, you have to try things and if something works for you, then great, let me know how you got the combination to work. I'll personally never go back to the HT0's.
