Been messing with it some, still can’t get it to run longer than a couple of seconds. I suspect that it’s still a sync loss error. Jesus, this is frustrating.
DIY Autone said I need to switch to resistor plugs. Many of their tech cases are resolved this way. May give it a go. I watched a YouTube vid last night on the differences and it was interesting to see
Gonna buy some cheapo 3923s tonight and throw them in the car and see where that gets me. It's seems like many, many people have had a similar issue and was cured by switching to resistor plugs.
Welp. Got the trigger wheel sorted from what these logs show --
Steve called last night to help out (THANKS AGAIN!!!) and basically ruled out the ignition being the problem.
I sent him my tune and he sent one back, edited. Thank you for that as well! @a91what I'm assuming you edited the VE map?

I see. It's just baffling that this tune is what it was running on before. Or maybe I'm wrong and it was different, but the tune was never offloaded from the MS while it was down.
Yep, I downloaded TS on my work computer and dug an old tune I posted on here out. Req Fuel was 5.7. Nothing else has changed!
Ah. Yes, it has a different cam. It's a mystery cam, no idea what the specs are, other than it's a blower cam with similar specs to an E-cam, according to @5.0Thunder who I got it from.
Nope. It still just fires off and dies immediately. Gonna try Steve's new tune tonight.
Ah, I read your last update as past tense like you had already put the tune on the car. Dont you have any vacation days to use? I'd be too excited to wait.
Well, I was on vacation last week, haha.
But as far as the excitement, it died a long time ago. I've been in the grind stage for a while now and I'm afraid I'm nearing the next stage soon. It's either a) put a cover on it until I get tired of looking at it or b) abort mission and go back to TFI
I completely understand and can relate-though I’m not doing all the power adder/complicated ecu/distributorless ignition tuning etc build. The last 3 years of pretty much no budget,buying used transmissions in worse shape than my bad one-hoarding parts,finding a builder only to have his price go up not once but thrice. I’m at the point of sell it as is-put in a used trans and sell or pay the builder the latest price and hope it doesn’t increase a 4th time by the end.... Hang in there buddy- when it’s running down the street blazing tires-you will be excited again
