Sometimes no problems sometimes failures.
MaSnaka John I can't answer for Barry but in my case My Speed Pro ECU got some screwed readings on the inputs. This is way they twist the 2 wires to help remove and possible signal another curcuit then these wires can pickup or may become sensitive to. This didn't happen when the system was new, I had run the car for about 5 years and this popped up at the track. Found the problem my watch inputs on the laptop and seeing them change without any movement of the throttle or other things. I run the 2 wires under the intake, single plane through silver plastic conduit from distributor connection to the fire wall of the car. ECU is under glove box inside of car. The outter coverings of the wires break down over time and leak out EM voltage. It's like high mileage sparkplug wires, you will see white spots where 2 wires are against each other. In the right conditions they arch too each other and cause missfires or dead cylinders. Water from a spray bottle works the best for finding cracks in the casings. Beats the finger method,
GOD that hurts, it could also kill you.
Anyway See what Barry has to say------ Rick L. Ps John I try to remove any possible failures of componets in the car with rapping, clamping, isolating, and insolating anything that could cause a problem down the road. Learned most of this from other racers breaking at the race and seeing what went wrong.
