    Gen 2 Fuel sender corrosion from ethanol

    The current ford/merc. sensor on the basket hasn't failed yet. Primarily because the connectors were cut off, wires soldered directly to the board, and potted/encased completely. I did a lot of research on different platforms who experience the same issue with similar style level sensors. Honda...

    Effects of high eth content on fuel level sensor

    @drew I cant recall the PN i used for the ford sensor. I want to say it was from a mercury MKZ or something similar. The delphi sensor on that pump basket assembly may work because the wires are directly soldered to the board. Pricey for an uncertainty in my opinion. The oem level sensor can be...

    Effects of high eth content on fuel level sensor

    Any and all solutions are appreciated. That sensor on the delphi unit looks identical to the oem mazda sensor. Are you experiencing a similar condition with failure of the fuel level sensor? Honestly, my solder trick has been holding up. I'm still on the same sensor from a different ford...

    Nah it's always been like that. I swapped hoods with a local selling his speed. I wanted the hood vent. He needed a stock hood Sent from tapioca

    Did a thing and added some long grain rice to the build. My intention was to direct more airflow to the tr1035. I blocked out the side openings with black abs plastic. Mazdaspeed? More like mazdaparked these days... Sent from tapioca

    Effects of high eth content on fuel level sensor

    Quick little update. The current Ford sensor is still holding up at almost 5 months since replacing. So far, tinning the wires and encapsulating in solder (in excess) directly to the level sensor board has proved the best results. Fuel level reported on the gauge is still off due to different...

    Happy to hear man! And beautiful car. Same situation for me. When the 2nd built motor spun a bearing at 2500 miles or less, I knew the wife was already at her end with my little hobby/"passion" carried into our marriage. Not to mention having a child together and the speed being our 2nd car...

    Intermittent cylinder 4 missfire and breakup at peak boost

    It only takes 15mins or less to pull the plugs out to confirm type and gap set. Otherwise a data log would tell you a whole lot more what's going on.

    Intermittent cylinder 4 missfire and breakup at peak boost

    Replaced with OEM coil packs? What plugs did you put in? What plug gap was set?

    Honestly, i do not want to sell it with the possibility of it being bad for the next person. If you're willing to confirm its good and my problem was tune related all along, that would be very very neat.

    It doesnt appear broken. This one has less than 500mi on it. Although, i do not know if its related but when you shake it, something internally is loose and rattling. Same same tuner as always, Captain KR. William Drank.

    Unfortunately, i do not have logs of this happening. It was annoying as hell though. Tuner recommended i just swap back to stock throttle body. I refused for awhile and i am glad i did at this point. I have the CS throttle body and it does not need to be returned. Would you like to dissect the...

    Intermittent rev hang and idle would not settle. Idle would pulse between 900 to 2000 rpm. Same issue between 3 different CS throttle bodies. For example, i did not have the issue during the dyno day and then shortly after that it would be intermittent. I talked with Zach at CS and he said its...

    It was included in my mods list at the time of purchasing the tune. So I don't know

    Interesting. I thought others have bolted it right up and not needed any corrections to their tunes.

    Endgame setup- BW s257sxe

    No. The car was tuned for 40psi pre vacuum with the AEM reg. So that's where I set it at on the replacement fuel lab reg. Derp. You mean the CS throttle body. The car was tuned with the CS throttle body on.

    welp, the AEM reg. is out and the fuel labs FPR is in. No issues so far. Still can't believe how awful the car ran with the CS throttle body. It just didn't play well with my setup for some reason lol

    Effects of high eth content on fuel level sensor

    I recently pulled the failed OEM (3rd of 4th now?) sensor out and found the EZ turn goop completely gone. Same failure mode though, with the positive wire and contact pad corroded. I suspect I did not completely encase the positive wire with solder. I received the ford replacement sensor (cant...
