Good day to all,
On Friday I was using the car at WOT on all shifts and I hit the launch control button on the last shift when PUFF and loss of power????
I looked at the wideband and it was at 16's to 17's. When accelarating it just did not have power. I was around three minutes from home so I got there in 2nd shift. At home I opended the lid and noticed you can leave your hand on the cylinder head tins without getting burnt on 2 and 4.
I changed the coil and nothing... I checked the MSII leds and both blink, so I believe I can discard the ECU. Today I am going to buy the spak plugs and hope it's done.
No power...

The switch isn't possibly stuck?
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Good day,
I figured out the issue, something fell on the relay board and whacked the spare4 cable which is my coilB wire. I made some mods to that portion of the relay board. Hopefully it will turn on today.
