AAAARGH! Steeda timing adjuster causing computer problems!!!
 
I have been struggling with mechanics over the check engine light ever since my adjuster and pulleys were out on. They checked the codes and the computer was sensing a misfire on #1 and #6 cylinders. They ste the timing, re-set the computer and the light came back on later that day. I took it back in and then they called Steeda and were advised to remove the timing adjuster, clean the sensor slot and remove an o-ring on the sensor arm (a step that is NOT in the instructions provised by Steeda). I picked up the car and it runs like a raped ape but after a few miles the check engine light came on. Steeda is now saying to remove the part and send it back. I don't want to do this! My instinct tells me that it is not the part but the fine-tuning of the installation. There seems to be 0 room for errors when installing the timing adjuster. Have any of you had this problem? Can I fiddle with it and re-set the computer myself? Is it possible that the computer just needs to shut up and let me burn rubber? The car runs killer! Please help!

The only thing I can think of to check is the distance between the CPS and the trigger wheel...
