My old DIS4 never had this problem but according to my HCI it had taken a shit. So apex put on a bypass and it revved up right but the spark was getting blown out. they told me to replace the ignition box. I just did and am having the same problem. Whatever i set the limiter to it cuts it in half. Is one of my settings wrong? what could be the problem. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,11,14,17,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Are you sure you have the MSD set for a "V8" engine?<br /><br />What did you dyno in at?<br /> <br /> <small>[ December 14, 2002, 05:22 PM: Message edited by: st5150 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blown Mystic</b> <br /><small>Member # 476</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,11,14,19,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> YEah its the DIS 4.
