Funny yet not so funny...

I was driving down the four lane going around 60-65 mph right, on my way to work. So i was bored and figured I'd start messing with my S-AFC, I mean "tuning". Ok i think you get the point I don't get the total gist (sp??) of tuning the darn thing.. so set the input pressure to 1 which is fine but i accidentally set the out pressure to 6, big mistake it was taking in (1) enough air to put out that much..(6). So my car stalls out on the interstate and I immediatley reset the AFC to factory settings, had to change it to a four cylinder and all, but i got it back up and running, but my check engine light is on now....

Glad to hear that. I still recommend taking it to a shoip where they have a DYNO. THose are the best when it comes to tuning your car for peak performance
