    172 coil pack wiring? DTA ecu...

    Do you have the cylinder batches the correct way round? Is your trigger pattern correct? Does the ECU require a certain cranking speed before it will provide a spark/injection?

    Removing cam / rocker cover on a 172

    cam pulleys have to come off if you want the cover to come off. Be careful as the cam bearings are built into the cam cover.

    Do These Spark Plugs Really Look 11Months Old (6000miled old)

    cant tell anything from those pics, you will need a HIGH resolution pic of the ceramic/electrode/groundstrap.......i.e all the bits at the end of the threaded section, ignore the other parts.

    Are stainless steel break lines worth the money

    normal fliud is dot 4. I dont ever feel a marked better 'feel' because stock brake lines now are wire supported internally anyway. But they will last longer and wont fail an MOT from splitting.

    How to bed in new discs and pads?

    ;).....tis the way! i'll feel like they go 'off' by the 7th-9th pass, but thats normal. They wont feel normal again until they are completely cool and rested overnight in most cases.

    Measuring AFR?

    nope, adusting numbers without checking the result just wont work. It wont be a linear increase requirement, mapping is alwaus all over the shop.

    Measuring AFR?

    All modern cars are set to run a stoichiometric AFR value of 14.7:1, where a complete burn of fuel and O2 occurs, at lower rpms and low load positions. Well, they did, modern cars are now running slightly leaner circa 15.5 for better economy and emissions, and they are running 'lean' upto quite...

    Measuring AFR?

    182 Manifold On 172?

    bought some goodies for the willy

    You should see some very usefull gains. With the chipwizards remap, i'd expect you to be hovvering around the 180+ region. Just for future ref, the piper competition cambelt is a stock gates item.

    what the hell is a Ecotek valve

    lol, ironically, the only thing they did work on were old carbed cars. But back then it wasnt made by this company, i think it was OE fitment on some cars.
