Your not going to fry the ECM with the tiny amount of voltage were talking about here.

Just a Happy Customer
Considering the resistors in the IED"s or XIED"s actualy LOWERS the voltage going to the ECM, it's highly unlikely you will fry anything.

Thanks

The way I was taught, a light tan indicates there is a little fuel left unburnt, which pre-emmissions was a good thing. It meant there was enough fuel to produce as much power as possible. A white plug means all the fuel is being burnt, you just want to make sure there are no dark specks which could be little pieces of your piston melting off and adhearing to the plug.

The xied's do not work on my 08 ultra classic as far as heat is concerned,I tried it and they didn't work for me...I will try either Rinehart td's and PCIII or Fuel Moto jackpots with PCIII next,right now all stock except Xied's...One step at a time.
