she back .... barely :emotions33:

so i get everything back together, fill coolant and oil....pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked it over for a while to try and get some oil moved around.
started it up....couple codes : throttle position range, o2 sensor heater circuit . no big deal can get up to temp and whatever took it for a short drive. everytime i gave it a little gas a fuggin "service blind spot monitoring something or another" would pop up and feel like it cut power. hmmmff thats weird, dunno its been unplugged a while figured id just cruise and see if it got better. more warnings, dash lights up power gone, comes back, says low fuel warning so i pull over turn it off (hoping not to be stranded) check under the hood i still have wheel liners out may harness fell into tire, check main ground. turn it back on "seems" ok, drive it does the same thing everytime i give it some gas so crap figured i fried the BCM or something. got back home, gave it one more look over and found that i left the smaller ground on the front of passenger side head loose :emotions122:

tightened it up, all is well took for another drive and all seems good! only gave it to it a little bit, going to put some miles on it before some wot pulls but it does seem to run pretty smooth i had put in 12lb(9+3) wastegate spring prob would have been fine with 93 but it should have plenty of balls there

***meant to say i pulled the 3lb spring back out so it has only the 9lb in it. if the first spring was any indication it will prob peak a psi or 2 above . with 12lbs of springsit may see 13-14psi which i wouldnt want to run very much on 93

have a engine light for driverside o2 sensor keeps popping up, picked one up to swap in this afternoon.
drove it around a little, seems to be happy at that psi with 93oct, moves out pretty good. will be back to trying to figure out why it wont shift out of first wot in no time :emotions122:

waiting on a few more ptfe hose ends and i should be able to start. reviews said it was a pain in the ass to work with but seemed easier than the regular rubber line to me, i dunno. have 15' of 10an for feed, 15' of 8an for return. cant wait to get back on the e85.

on the fence about throwing a holley hi ram on it lol. would like to do fuel system properly with feeding rails before the regulator. stock rail i am going to have to plumb everything to the reg and then hit rail .

I was so surprised I did get engine light on after my work, we actually checked if it works by sabotaging our work,

:lol:
i cleared it at first thinking it was because of the ground i left loose but it came back. could have come unplugged or something. i usually tyrap the cable up high or or wants to find its way to the front driveshaft. not sure till i get under there would rather just have one ready to go in if nothing obvious
