By the way, if it's twin-plug, you can actually run the engine on either the top six or bottom six plugs. For how long, I don't know. And you might have to adjust your timing if it's a long haul. Probably good to know though if you're in a jam and trying to get/limp the car to a shop or a parts store.

Richard Clewett mentioned this to me when we were testing things on my twin-plug Electromotive install... he indicated that if I pulled the wiring (the wiring that runs from the ECU to the DFU) from either one of the DFUs that the engine should run via whatever one was still connected. It worked. I didn't drive it like this, but it idled fine.
