Well, the tune loaded on without bricking the ecu so that's good. But the tune didn't fix the running issues. It still is having 7 codes thrown and it doesn't run right. I sent a couple data logs to Jay and we will see what he says. On the tune he gave me, he turned off all sensors I did not need. Hopefully the data log will help find the problem.
Perhaps I am missing something... If you have HP Tuners - you could do this yourself.. At least that is what i did. First ride for me last night. https://youtu.be/gMcM6W8-PYg

The hp tuner can change a lot of things and I don't trust myself or have all the know how to do it correctly. That's why I am letting someone that knows what they are doing try to tune it. I sent my second data log to him today. His latest tune didn't seem to change my running issues. It seems like it doesn't want to idle or accelerate. It sounds and feels almost like it's out of time. This is getting frustrating. I watched the video, I love your car! It sounds great, hopefully I can get mine to run soon... I'm starting to pull my hair out!

I'm still having tuning issues and now I discovered my tps doesn't go to 100% with the pedal all the way down... Even though the throttle body butterfly is all the way open, the tps only shows about 46%. I don't know what I'm missing here but hopefully I can figure it out soon.

Well, I took the car to a tuner because I just could not figure out why I couldn't get it to run right. They have been messing with it for a little bit and they tell me that the cable driven throttle body by BBK is causing a bunch of issues. They are taking it off and putting back on the stock drive by wire. I'm just ready to drive this thing. It's been way too long. Hopefully they will get it tuned soon and I can report back.

Well, the tuner could not figure out why it was dropping injector drivers. He told me to order the megasquirt ecu and he could have it running in a couple of days. So $1300 later, it's on the way. I'm just ready to drive this thing! Guess I'll be selling an 03 and an 05 computer, a Diablo tuner, a hp tuner, and the wiring harness I built... So if you know anyone!!! Haha

IT RUNS!!! The megasquirt computer was the trick! It starts right up now and it actually accelerates! I have to put in widebands before I can actually drive it but that will be done by tomorrow! I will let you guys know more when I do! Three years later and it's actually going to be on the road again!
