OK folks,
For those of you that are keeping track of the progress on my PWSC install i have some news. But let's start at the beginning...
Was missing an engine block oil relocation adaptor from my purchase. Found out when the car was at the shop and torn down for the install. I overnighted a piece from Trans Dapt that i thought would work...i was wrong. Ordered a piece from Moroso p/n 23682 and overnighted it...it worked. Had to fabricate several different sets of oil lines due to clearance issues when the last brackets of the install were in place. Finally made a set that worked with everything.
Found out that i did not have a ACS or IAT sensor as it is sometimes referred to. It was not in the kit. Found one at the Dickinson Auto Zone that was from a F150 Lightning. They didn't have the pigtail harness though. Taylor Automotive ordered one and had it by noon today, but it was the wrong one. I gave them the part number of the ACS and they cross referenced one that we got today at 3:30pm. Got the baseline tune from Tom put in and got the car started up.....codes, figures.
Then i noticed that the aux water pump was not running. Found a faulty fuse holder. Still not running after a new one was installed. Found that power and ground were the issues for that. They are going to find a new source of power for the relay to be on during engine run conditions.
Got to the point where i could datalog and remote tune with Tom. But then Live Link crapped out on me and his guess was because my laptop is running on Windows 7. Then i just flat out ran outta time cuz i had to head home to get ready for work and now here i am...at work. Downloading Live Link since it would not run in compatibility mode for XP. Gonna try a fresh install now.
But i do have one thing to say now about the car....DAAAYUMMMMN!!! She revs up like she's got a soul now! I can't wait to finish her up and get her on the street finally. And the sound.......RAWR!!!! LoL!
Anyhow, i just thought i'd share this with you all since it was the source of my missed effort to make a meet. I will be at the shop all day tomorrow working all the bugs out and will hopefully be able to drive it home. I will be making some vids of this effort tomorrow and will keep you posted.
