thanks for your reply. im going to replace coil packs anyway because i figure they are pretty old. do i have to do the dfi module at the same time? Just managed to get an error code out of it. code 29 came up. when you bring revs up and hold them it is smoking out the back. nothing major but...

thanks for the reply do i have to take the coil packs out to do that or can you do it on the car? Sorry man if its a stupid question but ive had points ignition cars for 17 yrs this is first efi and computer controlled car ive had so it kinda baffles me lol.
