Tried to call you Saterday. You missed the fun, I finaly got to rescue a jeep so that makes 2 H3s 1 F-350 2 F-150s and a land rover. It sucks for that guy, he got his GFs less then 2,000 mile old Jeep stuck in up to its gas cap, sucked water into the tank, they had it bad.

^^^^---- What he said.
The Crank Angle Sensor is sensitive to being moved or bumped - i.e. if it has been removed and re-installed. But the deeper issue is what caused the movement in the first place, as I'm assuming you didn't remove it during the install?
Cheers,
Hymee.

Hey Hymee, hows your latest endevor doing, I figure you have it mounted and running buy now. Im kinda curios on the harmonics on the air to air I/C with the bigger blower.

Didn't remove it but who know if it was knocked. Will certainly try it when I get home. That would be great if all I had to do was reset that.

During a Pettit S/C install the sensor isn't moved but the trigger wheel is. Nearly the same effect. Anytime I mess with either the sensor, the wheel, or disconnect the battery, I reset the profile.

But since you asked... I have been concentrating on my reflash solution mainly, as there is no point in putting it all in the car without having management. I could have done the MoTeC thing like we did on the first two, but it is cleaner if I waitied until my solution is baked.
BTW - It has already been mounted in my car for check measurements. I'll resist posting pictures here for the reasons mentioned above, but they can be found elsewhere.
I'm not worried about the so called harmonics as this style of blower and air-air setup had proven itself in another application in our "family".
Cheers,
Hymee.

Well it looks as though everything is fixed. I reset the e-shaft and haven't gotten a code since. I haven't really gotten to take the car out yet but will tomorrow. I must really thank everyone for all the help I received. I now just have to finish replacing my AFR gauge and I'll be all set. I did take the car out for a quick spin and I must say WOW!

Please log some data. It is near impossible (in my opinion) to get meaningful data throughout the rpm range by looking at an A/F meter. Logging data will allow you to verify for yourself exactly what you have for timing, A/F ratios and how your Long Term Fuel Trims develop.
It is worth mentioning here that you can start building LTFT by taking a warmed up car and going steady state for a few miles after clearing your trims. For example, find a long stretch of road and set your cruse control at 40 mph in 4th gear or 50 mph in fifth gear then drive for four to five miles. You may **** some people off if you are in a 45 or 55 mph zone but you will also be able to watch LTFT build (see attached example). Doing this will allow you to form your own opinion about your air intake system and its associated MAF calibration.
It is a nice SC kit and not cheap. I think you would do yourself a service to finish the installation by checking the overall performance with logging.

Hey Dog...
i suggest you get an EFI Dude!!! a very inexpensive tool to monitor these things...
PS...Bill....is the Dude supposed to be flashing green while in the port..I just noticed it last nite....
PSS...i did a drive last nite on the highway for about 4-5 miles (around 60-65mph)and checked the LTFTs...still reading "zero"
I will continued to test with my "home-made" MAF housing..

Slow Green Blink- Waiting on Key On
Faster Green Blink- Waiting for RPM signal so logging will start (Key is On)
Honken Green Blink- Logging Away
As for "Home-Made", that has bad connotations and your most elegant solution seems to be working just fine thank you.

just got my "new" engine in and running. A little compression really helps
Between one weekend of working on it while it was snowing(Im in Ga.!) and the next w/e while working on it there was a tornado(The Atlanta one) and the wind was so hard it blew a squirrel out of a tree that landed on the hood of my car while I was under it
---it is now going.
In the process i have learned a few things i would like to share.
1- the mazsport ignition system really looks good mounted up front and in veiw---and it works so well---i dont know if it is the higher compression engine or the new coils but this engine is so smooth. Velveeta smooth.
2- it is not good to have an exhaust leak (i removed my secondary air pump and plugged that hole up) and a wide band---it really throws it off and causes some nervousness. Can anyone say Lomotil!?
3- I do not run synthetic oil anymore , i will premix.
4- I run the rx 7 plugs all trailing with the correct spacers.
5- A double resonated midpipe and the rb catback will make the car sound ALMOST oem during normal driving but gives it some authority during those spirited times!
6- you can never have too many zip ties.
7 --the trans is a bitch to get back in. Tight pilot bearing
9- once you get all the attachments off a rotory engine you can pick it up using just your muscles and move it across the shed..
8- pilot bearing removal will make you almost loose Jesus. Ended up having to drill mine out with a dremel--and i did have the good puller.
10--your dog will ALWAYS get in the car with you when you are working on all those gauge wires.
11-- the family will celebrate when they hear it running again--- that means they may start seeing you again. And can ask for money. (I have teenage girls)
12 -- an additional heat shield over the header is a GOOD thing.
13-- the most hard to get too hose will always be the one that has a just a LITTLE leak---guaranteed.
enough for now--have to go purdy her up some.
