well I downloaded the new EEC TUNER file a friend of mine made, he is the other guy with the SC motor in his mustang.
To my surprise the car fired up right away. It ran alright for a while, smaoked a lot due to all new gaskets and stuff. Was idling a little rough but not too bad. Vacuum was around 16-20. I had to change the oil since the oil in the car was full of gas, when the EEC had the old tune the car would crank over forever till she fired up and then ran really badly, so I flooded the mtor a few times. Thats how the oil got so full of gas, it smelled really strong of gas, the oil that is.
Anyways, no with fresh oil in the car doesn't want to stay running. As soon as it starts up it stalls out. Also there is a slight buzzing on startup, not sure what this is since I have never heard the SC blower up close, is this small buzz normal? I think it may be my AC compressor, since I have it disconnected but the compressor is still hooked up. There are no AC lines running from it so the back ofthe AC compressor is open, and I think it made a buzzing sound when I spun it freely.
Another thing too is that after about 1 minute of runing, I have to keep the revs up to keep her running, it sounds like it may have a knock. When I go to check it out the car stalls out on me I need ot get my wife to help me on this one to keep the car running.
Idle has been set to just over 800 rpms. Other then that is sounds MEAN! I hope I can get her to run for this weekend, its the MOD MOTOR SHOOTOUT in Maryland, if I can get my car towed down I will go, maybe someone there can fine tune the EEC for me, but if its not running right I WILL NOT take it down the track, just take her to get fine tuned and hang out with everyone, and show off the beast as well Now to find someone with a truck and trailer that wants to tow it down for me. Any takers?
