Tuning A Lancer

As I said in one of my previous posts Karthik, I dont think battery disconnect erases fault codes etc. Make sure you also check your fuel tank - you'd be surprised what you can find there....

Thanks,

Got the car checked from my regular mechanic today. Timing was again checked even tho it was correct. Since there was some work with the side skirts that had to be done, didn't have time to check the distributor. He felt that it was causing the prob, so that will be checked tomorrow. Also will try running with stock plugs and cables.

Got the distributor cleaned today and also got the IAC checked. The missing kinda stopped, but it did happen once but that could be cuz i was low on fuel. Besides, there isn't much difference in the way it performs. I still feels its nutin different from what it used to be.
