Well, recently, I've started to experience some hanging revs and slight stuttering at idle speeds.
Granted the issue isn't so bad right now, but myself and my mechanic decided it was probably a good idea to get a couple of days worth of datalogging done to make sure there's no issue with timing or fuel delivery.
So I did 48 hours of datalogging... here's hoping it comes back clean. I don't want to be worrying about an engine rebuild on something with such low mileage.

now that the wires are off -- I have bare patches of skin akin to 40 year old virgin. 3M makes some sticky tape!

just wait for the follow-up post where this all turns out to be caused by a loose wire in my head.

The worst part of the emissions test is when they shove the probe up the tailpipe ... all the best Steve ... hope the datalogging shows the timing is spot on.
