After having my Headers/Intake/Exhaust installed, along with replacing the spark plugs/wires, cap and rotor. . . is it a good idea to reset the ECU so that it recognizes the changes in the system?

I mean, after I changed out the parts one by one, I started the car and the check engine light did not come one. . . .which I assumed that I installed it correctly.

Im just wondering because it seems that my car "pops" frequently between shifts. I'm just wondering if the ECU is to blame or is my timing a little too advanced?

any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

what do you mean by pop's?

as in out of the Exaust?

 

yeah he's saying that when he shifts to another gear the exhaust pops. He's running rich.

 

i would agree, unless the timming is off even by the slightes.

i got a 89 s13, it does the same... its the timming in my case, check over all of the conections and check the timming.. if that still aint it.. see if your o/2 or Maf is functioning properly.

if all of that is ruled out, im not sure..

anyway, whats the harm in it anyway? the riceboys love to see that **** going on... heh

 

Thanks for the info! I kind of had an idea that it was my timing that was the probable cause of it. When I changed my headers out, I changed the sensor that was on there with a new one.

So I guess that I'll buy one of those timing lights to adjust the timing and see if that solves the problem.
