Default ding dong the probe is dead

yup filled the bottle up today (which aed sux at) and went to run patricks 240 running 14 lbs, I hit the switch, and it don't pull as hard as normal but I have bout 1/2 on him, well the car starts slowing down, I let off in 4th, and the car is feeling kinda slugish.

so I run my boys probe, he gets bout 2 cars in front before I hit the switch, I pass him to about a car length and it starts popping and missing real bad. smoke rolling, probe is done.

Hmmm... It may not be totally done... I have seen fried plugs do some nasty smoke with gas... Pull the plugs... Unless it wont start, then you may be in trouble...

Let me know if I can help...

Easiest way to find out if it's dead....

Spraying it on the dyno. Bring it!!!


and some kitty litter.....and a camera.
