I realize from doing the potentiometer mod to get rid of the misfire codes when doing a 6 bolt swap it will lean the car out. Will it be fairly linear so I can just turn up my fuel pressure a tad or adjust my translator 1 click? Is it kinda all over the place so I really have to tune by rpms or what? Reason I ask is I'm selling my car but keep getting that damn misfire code and feeling the car sputter so I don't think that's a major turnon for someone test driving it and having it miss every couple of miles. I'd like to just put the potentiometer on and richen the translator a click and leave it at that. I realize it won't be tuned perfect but I just want it so its driveable without sputtering and that's about it. Thoughts on this?
 
well I did the mod today and adjusted my base in my translator from 450s to 500s and it still seemed to not run quite right. If I stepped on the gas the O2s would be extremely lean for a second or so and then richen up where it needs to be. My overall fuel trims still showed as lean and my misfire was still there. What did you guys with translators have to change on them to make them run good and about how far did you have to turn your potentiometer?
