Default Timing problem or what?

I installed the Steeda Timing Adjuster Sunday. Everything went per the directions and was completed in about 45 minutes.

93 octane in the tank

14 degrees advance (total)

No hint of detonation

Conditions were: 45 degrees, warm motor, dry roads.

Today I threw codes P0300, P0302, and P0308 at idle. However, I never detected a miss.

I inspected everything and nothing has come loose.

Is this an example of my computer trying to remap itself to the new timing advance or is is something else?

Did you unplug a battery cable for about an hr for the computer to reset it self?

Well, I called Steeda and they say that the '04s are particularly picky about mods. Seems odd, but who knows. Anyway, I finally unplugged the battery for 20 minutes and let the computer reset. That was last Thursday and everything is now perfect. So, word to the wise, dummy up and unplug the damned battery to begin with!

Now I know better.
