Little update for those interested.
I've gone through the break in period. Around 800 miles i started doing some wot logs for Justin Brasil. After a few pulls I started having issues with spark blowout so i bought a new set of 6510 plugs and gapped them to .024". Car ran fantastic for about 100...
So took the car back to the dealer and they were no help whatsoever. They literally told me they don't know what the problem is. After a heated discussion with the two techs I eventually just left. I had a buddy of mine meet me on my way home so he could take a look at it. He unlplugged the...
Hauled the car to the stealership yesterday... Sure enough, they're computer won't communicate with the ECU. With a whole trip an hour away I hauled the car back home. The immobilizer light is throwing code 16 "communication error with PCM (no response)"
I've checked the condition of all the...
I think I may have found the reason as to way a code reader or my AP won't communicate to my ECU. Whenever I turn the key to the on position the "engine immobilizer" light flashes rapidly. (This is the light that looks like a car with a key on it) if I understand correctly this basically means...
Yet another issue rises... went to install AP to the car and it won't recognise the ECU. I thought maybe I damaged one of the pins while checking for power so I went ahead and replaced the port and all pins (total of like $12.) Still won't recognise it. Any ideas on where to start with that...
Problem solved [emoji41] apparently I thought the positive cable coming out of the fuse box was a ground. Thought, "what the hell, I'll hook it to the positive." And wala, let there be light!

Battery is not dead, I have 12.6 volts under the hood, at the positive cable I tied into. I've tried multiple different grounding points, as well as running a cable straight to the battery from the factory negative... still nothing. Not even a dome light lmao.

I cut the battery terminal off the factory positive side, tied into it, ran it underneath the car all the way to the hatch. Grounded the factory ground terminal to the frame. Grounded the battery in the trunk to where the spare tire usually mounts. I've got power at the factory positive terminal...
Just a little update picture. I've got everything except transmission fluid, basemap, and a little key on no power issue. I'm sure it's something simple I just keep looking over. I also found a killer deal on this jmf that I couldn't pass up.

I had originally started this thread on MSF, but decided to post it here as well. (Sorry to those of you that have already seen it.)
I think it's finally time to create one of these for my on going build.
The story behind it all:
I bought a 2007 black mica ms3 from a used car dealership back...
