Car is running like butter! my intake timing wheel had a bent corner and the sensor wasnt OEM. swapped that out, and installed the 255 wally.

My AEM wideband sensor appears to be headed south. lots of 14.5-15.5 goin on, with no leannon decel, and 14.5 on WOT when i checked it. I'm pulling my almost new one from my Focus SVT tomorrow morning and seeing what's up.

it.sounds.amazing.

I had a P0300 misfire code. I took a log and will be on ECMtuning to figure out what I need to tweak to get it to run better A/Fr. my AEM is acting kooky.

I'll update when I get the bumper on and then again when it's tuned. No rush, baby steps

The fmic made the car run hotter during tuning. it almost overheated on me while i was doing cool down LTFT idling. got to 255deg. CEL came one and i didn't compute it was for coolant temp.

I learned after this to click the "fans max on" toggle and after that it wouldn't go over 210deg. before it was 226 cruising from the FMIC blocking airflow.

i got it cooled down right away. I was doing WOT pulls yesterday, doing well, 2500-6200rpm pulls. i was taking my time, doing one pull at a time.

I was on the highway and the last pull was doing great, no knock, timing at 10deg max, 10.5afr, and the car just lost ALL power @ around 5,500. I HAD a log of it but i clicked "new log" instead of "save" and it was lost. i did review it twice and everything was in check. i had LTFT's at 0.6 & -0.6, almost perfect, Airflow per rev @ .29, base timing @ 5%. it looked like my other logs. it just lost power and shutoff.

NO compression in all 4 cylinders, NO oil leaks, coolant, nothing on the road. Looks like timing jumped. car is sitting and not sure on the future of it. al funds were spend for the build. blah
