Removing / replacing Split Port Engine
#22
That's good information to know.

I thought I would pass on this information about the split port operation
of the engine.
This is my experience over one year with a used split port installed (number 3 for this wagon)

I've found it best to start and go. Don't let it idle too long after starting.
Then, drive it hard. Like you're in a hurry.
I've found on my wagon that this seems to be memorized by the engine system
and I've been able to fast accellerate out of a ramp onto the highway with
plenty of power more than when I used to drive it "easy" like.

I have no reasons to give for this, but there is a difference, in that it allows
those secondary intake ports to actually start working on hard accelleration.
Something I found maybe wasn't working if I was driving it easy like all the
time.
This engine has power off the light.

ps. I'm the original poster: Erness, and using this sign in name.

All the best
