ECU Probes, Software and Decompilers?

Now I don't know if this is old news or if anyone's posted it earlier, imagine someone has and that I just missed it/couldn't find it. Anyways, I found a couple website that ate European based that peaked my interest and I want to know if this is something worthwhile/should look into more or not; an...

Re: Cold sstart issues EECV

Sounds like a IAC, Load, Spark issue. When you change major intake parts, odds are you'll have to retune the IAC. The surging is generally a sign of either a weak IAC or that it is 'clipping', which is to say the DC isn't matching the voltage and airflow desired. The IAC also plays a major roll in c...

Re: Locked timing

I disagree.





If you're not breaking parts, you're not going fast enough


If you're not running locked timing, you're going too slow

Re: Pro-M or lightning?

If a shop can't tune for a cam, they ain't much of a shop. There's a ton of V-8 stuff out there to build off of and many value files to help along the way. If they've done any Ford work it shouldn't be that dificult to get a decent base tune up and running in an hour or so. Fine tuning takes longer,...

Re: Can't get stable idle. 02 lightning twin turbo

Can you adjust anything in the tune?

What does a log tell you?
what's spark source, fuel source, throttle mode and the typical idle values?
If it's not entering an idle mode, fixing that is step 1.

Re: How much should an IAC flow when closed?

My best guess is that at warm idle the valve is designed to be open slightly based on stock airflow requirements. We can assume that a zero point shouldn't be closed since that will stall the engine out, no air. So it'd make sense that full closed isn't possible. One thing I'm curious on though is t...

^This guy. CW v CCW, think about how the belt is routed ... The wrong pump with the wrong rotation, that is CCW spinning CW, will reduce flow.

Re: TPS, anyone using a Dodge one in a SN Mustang?

In theory, yes. In design, no. I found out that I can't use the Dodge ones. The tab spacing is too narrow, ever so slightly.

TPS, anyone using a Dodge one in a SN Mustang?

This guy's crazy, right. But no I'm not. My TPS is very tight and the connector hits my intake, which hits my hood. So when I close the hood there's pressure. This has taken some toll on the sensor and it's now reading skewed. The Dodge Caravan with the 2.4 has a, according to pictures, similar TPS ...

Re: Swapping a 4cylinder ECU for a V8 one?

This is a bit of a tangent to the original question, but on those dual plug 2.3Ls, do those plugs fire at the same time or is there a slightly different timing given to one plug relative to the other? IIRC, there is a timing difference. There was talk years back on one of the turboford related site...

Curious if I need a CPS for CFSO?

I have changed a couple things in my tune but I can not get it to cut fuel when it should. But this is only on the second start after I reflash.
I do not have my Cam Position Sensor hooked up ATM. Which is the only explanation I can come up with.
