The restoration is moving along slowly. After changing all fluids and filters, a few basic hoses, belts, rear suspension with edc to bilstein conversion and H&R, interior pretty complete (still need to do interior lights...none working for some resason), I am now experiencing a couple problem and hoping others have encountered similar and have some advice.
1. After bilstein and HR upgrade, one side sits about .5" higher. Changed shock mounts and added reinforecement plate inside trunk. Can't see any visible reason why?
2. When under medium to hard acceleration, car hesitates hard and/or cuts out all together and gives off check engine light.
I fuel supply issue or electrical? Where do I begin my search?
Thanks,
Nick

1) did preload the the suspension? Side note H&R rears are a no no....got cut 3/4 OEM or MTech rears. I have set of RD Rear spring and H&R Rear springs which I use for wine bottle holders.

2) Find someone with a code reader INPA or something and get the code and report back. It could be number of things: DK Motors, Fuel Pumps (there is way to check them, read up on Dragon850 threads on that), Fuel Filters, Missing spark (spark plugs), Lose or bad wires, CPS, List goes on......Get the code
2) What spark plugs are in the car? The wrong plug (any plug with more than 1K ohm resistance) will cause issues under load. Recommend NGK BRK6EK's.
