    Default Its alive!!!!

    !!!!

    First shot!

    I was waiting on the IAT to come from DIY Autotune along with my EGT sensor. Well I was running the fuel pump checking for leaks anticipating it coming tomorrow when all of a sudden I hear "excuse me" hahaha . Turn around mail truck dude came down my driveway and I didn't notice. He left, I clipped the IAT in and grabbed camera and tripod. Grabbed a fire extinguisher (on the opposite side of the car closest to me..) and cranked.

    THIS IS THE FIRST START THE CAR HAS SEEN!!!!!!

    started easy, very cool Jon! Any clue about the wandering idle? Lean or too much initial advance?

    The idle advance is not fixed because I didn't calibrate the TPS sensor. This is literally the first time the car turned over. Its a completely different motor, 2.9L, 8.5:1 CR, so my old map is not very good for it. It was wandering on my timing table between 12 and 16 degrees advance in the idle bins. I also don't run an idle control valve so it oscillates if idle advance isnt locked.
