4g63 talon rpm change

Post by blueman803 »

Hey, I had it working right two days ago, then today I crank it up and the tach is almost 400 rpm off of what MS shows. What could cause that to change? It is also running like crap. Any ideas?

How are you driving the tach? Driving it off the stock tach driver circuit?

I figured it out, the plugs were fouled pretty badly. It was misfiring and consequently running at a slightly lower rpm, yet the tach was stock and triggered off the coil firings.
