Bad enough to **** the driver off to wanna adjust it. I havnt messed with any quads on my car, but cant you adjust how much fuel its shooting into your intake manifold? I cant imaging that there is no way, have you tried?

have you checked the ECM fuse? Look under the drivers side of the dash to access the fuse panel. Make sure the one labled ECM (I think maybe there is some other word in there too) is not blown. I think it's a 10 amp fuse. Mine was blown and when i first got my Z and took me a good while to figure it out until one day i decided it would be a good idea to just get a gm code key and pull the codes out. I got the code that ment no ecm signal or something to that effect. Checked the fuse and voila, it was blown. Cars ran without blowing another fuse for 7 months now.
