i was so tempted to post "do you talk like that to the guests at the holiday inn?" that's where he works.

So I think I've figured out my problems with the help of Cheeco and TTR (TurboTekRay). Injector latency and scaling deserves a kick in the *****. I've rescaled it already. Test tomorrow morning on the way to work!

I hate hippies with a passion. In the words of bart simpson, we need another Vietnam to thin their ranks.
Only not in Vietnam since that could be a sore subject.

Hope it does the trick but you may need some fine tuning to get your fuel trims completely back inline. You should trust us roundeyes more often.

I'll log fuel trims once it cycles.

Too bad you're not fully a round-eye!

here is the link for the type of hold down I'm using.

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web..._A|GRP2005____

that isn't the exact brand I have but it is the same style. I couldn't locate a pic of mine but most major auto parts stores carry this style. get the beefiest one you can obviously.

if you get the battery from tristate it comes with everything you need to switch the terminals vertically so you can mount the battery laying down.

the next step is to measure and cut the stock battery posts down to the size you need. it will be pretty obvious where that needs to be when you have the DEKA on the stock tray and the bracket over it. I used my vice to re-bend the bottom of the post so they will hook into the stock tray.

Marc, has there been reviews on how well the Deka holds up over the winter temps? I know some of the guys thinking of doing it due to the low cost, may not have thought of durability. I know you dont DD your car anymore, so does it sit on a tender, or do you start it up once a week? Just curious.

honestly I have no idea about cold starts. I've only had the battery for a couple months and it hasn't been really cold. thats the reason I bought the float I offered.

I see. Nonetheless, $38 for that battery is an awesome deal! I would do it in a heart beat!

That will not solve your misfire issues, I can guarantee it, unless it is a band aid fix
