Problem with nology / new spark plugs

I just installed nology hot wires and the spark plug, denso iridum (stock gap).
Now, at RPM right around 5000 the engine was not running smoothly, I think it was fuel cut...I'm not to sure....

any help or input please let me know


thanks

Try putting the stock wires back on and see if that fixes it.

You'll probably need to be tuned for the hotwires.

I was running hotwires and a nology ignition box and we had to take it off after i got my new ecu, because it was pulling too many rf's

My friend had the same problem and put the stock ones back in and it fixed it. He ran slower 1/4 times with it.

I got a set on Thursday and have the same problem. Car runs fine until you push it hard. Over 5k it turns in to a misfirefest. Plus the wires i got didn’t fit. It seems they put the wrong connectors on the wrong wires or just measured them wrong when they made my set. I am going to drive down to Nology on Monday and see what they say. I had them on for one day before I removed them. I took some pics of how bad they fit but my cameras in my car so I will U/L them later.

I dealt with ongoing misfire problems for a year while I had my Magnecor wires on. Hesitation or stutter right around 4500 rpm. Recently swapped back to stock and car runs great. Whatever wires you use, they better fit reall well, or you can have problems.

If not the wires, double check the plug gap. You said stock, but is it .028? In my car, gapping down to .026 or so helped...

Good luck,

I'm getting tuned with UTEC and already have nology wire installed. Does that mean I have take the nology out?

I think I had the same problem the other day. I put the stock bov back on to make sure that it is not the VTA bov. Just like you said, when it approached 5k, I felt a hard jerk, SES light comes on, but it keeps on running after I ease up on the gas pedal. I read somewhere that this could be fuel cut, but I don't know what they feel like. What does a fuel cut vs. misfire feel like?

So, have you had nology before you had the ralliart wires? What kind of plugs are you running with the ralliart wires?

Stock and after Ralliart, I can feel the difference. Stock spark plugs.

I recommend Ralliart wires!!!!

Never install two parts together/at the same time, because if one of them is not good you will never know which one is hurting the performance

Sounds like something is screwed up with your timing running the new wires or the plugs. I'd have to say the plugs would be the first thing to pull and go back to just the stock plugs.

If your going to mess with the ignition though, it doesn't pay to half *** it. Go with the Buschur or AMS kit.
