So i went back to the track on friday and finally broke into the 13's @ 13.94 with the VE!!! which i was very happy about, but the second run everything is good until i shift into 4th at about the 1000' mark when the engine just blips and i put it in neutral and coast the rest of the 1/4 mile.

Later on the drive home the CEL light came on and the car started to run very badly and seemed like it was missing. So my best guess to this without checking the codes from the ECU would be injectors. what do you all think?

Thanks for the Help.

Check your codes mang..

not enough info to make a diagnosis.
pull the codes since you got the CEL.
Check for the miss, just unplug the coils to see if any change the way the car runs.

 

On a side note...

Great job on breaking 13's!!!

 

thx, im going to go check teh codes now i guess...

Umm i guess i cleared the codes by accident so ill have to wait till the CEL light comes back on...

 

is it still running like shyte?

 

First guesses would be injector or coil pack.

You hit the 13s on spray, I assume. Nice job on that.

 

Oh... damn, I was thinking all motor. I thought Aaron might have had some competition.

 

O yea sry i forgot to mention that... 13's was on spray, not all motor. and for those of you that care: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....46#post5827246

No it only runs poorly some of the time and usually at startup...

 

You may have cleared the CEL on the dash but it might still be in the memory so give that a try.

 

What i meant by i think i cleared the code was i didnt exactly know what i was doing and i thought i had a 5 mode but only have a 2 so in following the 5mode directions i think i accidentally cleared the code because i only got a code 55 which means nothing is wrong... but there is something wrong

 

I don't want nitrous b/c I know I'd be addicted to it!

 

Thats exactly why you need a nice GT35R or something. Perfect for a automatic-drag setup

Back on topic maximahappy, did it run rough again? Do any trouble shooting?
