Sounds like timing isn't advancing. Did you check that?

Set base timing at 10 degrees with spout out. Install spout at idle and advances it between 15-24. Also the mil light is coming on. It use to stayoff. Check the codes the only ones that concern me are

61- coolant temp signal low ckt ground
85- 0=CANP ckt fault/C=fuel at lean limit

I know what to check for on the code 61 but, the 85 I'm lost on any ideas

I believe CANP is the canister purge solenoid; however, I didn't know it would throw any codes.

Maybe check to see if it is operating correctly... that is, if you still have it on the car.

Brian,

If he has a way to tune the car he can fix this
so that it does not do the CANP check etc...
As for the ect code this needs to be fixed as it
will have an effect on fuel & timing to a certain degree.

I still think it is broke.....

I haven't had that solenoid on my car for three years now and have never seen the check engine light. . . or is this a soft code that doesn't thow the light?

It should set the light because it is emissions related unless you have it turned off in the tunner.

I agree that the ECT will mess up the timing and fuel. If it is shorted then it is maxed out which will cause max retard and low AFR. This is how the EEC will try to cool the engine.

No, the only thing I have turned off is the EGR, and I only turned that off a couple months ago when I removed the valve and put a blocking plate in its place.

you are definately lean though... if you have a tweecer on it, cant you just turn up the fuel curve??? at least till you figure out what the problem is?

headers glowing at idle means rich. He has so much combustion that it is still combusting as it exits the head going into the header.

If they were glowing after driving down the road that would represent lean

I would disagree only because he stated that all he has to do is advance the timing to get rid of the glow. The mixture is still the same.
