"Myshorts -now you can understand how excited I got!"


Heck, yeah, I sure can. I didn't seem to get the power gains you did, or at least I can't tell until I can wring the snot out of it and get it on the highway. I'll do that tomorrow. And I'de still like to know EXACTLY what the KIA guys did to yours. I'de pay good money to find out. I want to duplicate yours and see if I get the performance increase you did. But you know, I really don't care if I don't. I'm tickled to death with what I've got right now. Especially now that the RPM hold is gone. I've lived with the CEL for so long I don't even notice it anymore, and I'm going to take out the light bulb for it the next time I need to dig into my dash for something. (I have that CEL because of a damaged O2 sensor I got from the last muffler swap I had done. No matter. It passes smog just fine.)

Regarding that other question, I think the part is '95-'96 only, and aside from helping the idling out, I'll bet that part has something to do with emissions. Whatever it was, just unplugging it has made a big difference. Again I can't believe I haven't tried that before.

Axe, I'm very curious myself to see how it starts up "dead cold" after sitting there all night. I'll let you guys know right after I find that out.

One other thing. If you can stand getting a CEL and don't mind undoing your battery to get rid of it, maybe one of you guys with a newer model Sportie should try unplugging the equivalent part and see what happens.
