Thank you guys for the reference and kind words earlier. I wasn't able to take a look at Leo's ECU due to time issues but hopefully he'll be able to install the caps himself or make it back here when we both have more time.

Thanks for the caps Steve, and very nice dsm! I'll keep you updated on the installs, the car is running really good right now but I will still install the new caps soon.

so what ended up being the problem Leo?

It was a combination of 4 things, bad tps(caused check engine light), 1 leaking cap in the ECU, timing and some shorting of wires connected to the fuel pump, that mite have just been after my walbro was installed. It's running a whole lot better now, only problem is that its idling really high1300~1400. I know that happens when you advance the timing but I only have it set at 5.

[stevep]

If you advanced it in the process of setting the base timing to 5 BTDC you could have increased the idle speed. You need to ground the check timing connector again and also ground pin 10 on the DLC to reset the base idle speed with the BISS.

Do 3S's idle surge like DSM's do when the idle is too high? If they do I'd double check and make sure your IPS is set right too. Since it's the IPS that tells the ECU that the engine is idling. (My stealth hasn't had any idle problems so I don't know if they surge)

Sorry i'm not really quite there yet with the abbreviations, but 5 at idle is stock.

I know, I got the impression from your earlier post that you changed the timing in order to set it to stock. If you had to advance it say from 0 (Top Dead Center) to 5 (Before TDC) the engine will speed up given the same Base Idle Speed Screw setting.
You usually reset the base idle speed after resetting the ignition timing.

DLC = Diagnostic Link Connector. The connector next to the fuse box by your left foot.
