    I can tell you this. I put Denso Iridium plugs in every vehicle I own and they have always improved performance. Never had any issues at all. URD has been shipping nothing but Denso Iridium plugs for a few years now and we ship a LOT of plugs out of here and never had a bad report from ANYONE. I really believe it is the best overall plug you can use.

    The downside to them for us is that they last for so damn long people don't come back to buy more very often...

    lol, yeah, i trust what you say Gadget, I was just trying to figure it out from past issues which were similar.

    I am not a computer guy so I really dont know what you mean when youi say the usb conversion cable or whatever.... I went to office depot, best buy, radio shack and custom computer stores, they all looked the same.

    no one has a cable that goes from the pin style thats on the pcu to a pin style that on the lap top, though one guy did tell me to try changing the "com port" that is linked to the program itself,,,, not the com port that comes up on the screen when you try to communicate through the program, but the one where you go into like the properties and all that crap.

    UUUUUUGGGGGGGGG<<<, I wish I were near you so you could look at it.

    I slightly disagree that they have NOTHING to do with this.... I mean I trust that Gadget runs them in all of his and that some people have never had an issue,,,, but one thing I certainly did see happen when I changed from the Iridiums to the Denso multi grounds is that power smoothed out, the sound of the motor is cleaner and smoother, and this recent tank of gas during X-Mas going from Las Cruces to Albuquerque that I used to get 200 to the tank, i got almost 230.... so there is a slight difference of maybe 2-3 mpg

    I do FULLY AGREE THOUGH THAT I NEED TO GET IT TUNED,,,, its just wheter or not i am going to continue to use the multi or go to the iridium.

    I think my plan is get it tuned with the multi plugs in.... then see what my mpg is, then switch to the Iridiums and see what happens.

    Gadget,,,,, I still am having trouble with figuring out WHAT EXACT CABLE TO GET.... can you send me a picture of the cable you use???? Can you sell me one???? :)
