Message:
Few days ago, I increased the gap of the 2393 autolite spar plugs from .050 to .060. Notice a power gain and it's great. Last night driving home, the engine light came on. The engine light was never came on before.

Any feed back, greatly appreciated.


2001 v6 with these mods: F/S 48mm TB, JBL headers, Magnaflow single exhaust, Jett II and MSD 8mm plug cables and Air raid air intake.

Thanks,
Moe

it might be a code for random misfire. assuming you still have a stock coil/ign system. it may not be able to put out enough power for that big of a gap..

Try this to get the code(s) It does not work on all dakotas, it did not work on my 98 but it works on my 00.

Without cranking the truck turn the key like this....
after the first click of the igniton switch (the steering columun unlock positon, where the {P R N D 2 1} gear selector illuminates and you can move the shift lever)

Like this;

on/off/on/off/on

then in your odomiter it will say the code(s) It says P-DONE if there aren't any codes, or after they are all listed... the code will come up like thos P0300 is random misfire. 301 through 308 (306 on a v6) is for misfinring in a specific cylinder (PO303 = misfire cylinder#3)

hope I helped

post the code here, and I (or someone else) will look it up for you....

00 CC Sport Plus 4.7L 4X4 Auto, 3:55 LSD
Flowmaster orig. 40 series (2 chamber) muffler, adjusted tps to .76V, ported TB, home brew intake setup w/K&N filter, more mods to come!!!

Dan - Thanks for your input. Did a search of this issue and most of them reset PCM by disconnecting the - cable battery and PCM connector plug. I did the samething with my truck and engine light is NOT there anymore.

Hope engine light do not come on anymore. But if it does, I will do what you said.

Thanks,
Moe

Resetting your PCM when you get a light is normally a temporary fix...unless you fix the problem causing the light, the conditions are still there and it's just a matter of time before it goes on again.
