Just an update. Almost have the wagon situated. Blew up 6.0 powerstroke, full-time college and a full time job have been keeping my free time down. Looking at building the engine while I have the 6.0 apart too. Sell the wagon and start buying parts. I’ll post up a engine parts list when I start...

Just an update on narrowing down ecu choices. Haltech 550 or 950 was the original thought. I found out that both of those ecu’s don’t support DBW. I very well could delete the DBW and go with a cable setup, but I do enjoy the variability and safety that DBW provides. The two ecu’s I’ve currently...

I user by the name of Troubled81 has a thread similar to this but has gone silent. I’m not going the same path so I figure I’d post what I’m trying to achieve and where I’m currently at. I’ve owned quite a few speeds but currently just own two speed 6’s. A 06 and 07. I picked up the 06 for 500...

Looking to do the same thing but with a megasquirt 3 pro. Any updates?

Instead of bringing an old thread No name brand Ebay and Amazon parts Back from the dead, I’m posting a new one. In that post a user provides a link to a focus/mazda cast manifold which is dead. I only found one more manifold for a focus/mazda 3 but it doesn’t look like it’s the right one. I...

Just to update the thread. Problem is still unresolved. I drove my MS6 to college and got very proficient at tuning on these cars. MS6 is an absolute blast. I decided to bring the ms3 up here and start tuning. I ported over my e10 16psi tune from my MS6 to the ms3 and it’s still knocking. I’ve...

I fixed this problem by tuning for the intake and replacing the MAF sensor. The intake is much larger than stock and the ecu wasn't happy with it.

That’s what i was betting on too. I was just hoping it was something I messed with in the tune. I haven’t messed with the cold idle. The thermostats are a fun job on these cars.

I’ve recently got ahold of access-tuner and have been tinkering around with a tune for quite some time. I’ve noticed that it takes my MS6 about 25 minutes to get to operating temp. I was wondering if I screwed anything up in the tune. Does the “bat vs ect ignition” tables affect warm up? I’ve...

Just an FYI for y’all. Be careful not to do the window reset to often. I’ve had to do it because every time I flash a tune it messes with the windows. I currently now I have 2 broken window motors. (One right after the other).

I live in the country and haven’t had to take the keys out of anything but I’ll start trying to do that. I pulled the batter cable and reset everything. I did the earlier mentioned window reset. Now all the windows work and even the auto window switches work. Which they haven’t since I bought...

I just purchased and went through the entire Cobb tuning course. I learned that the ecu logic doesn’t learn octane. it’s a strictly “reactive” based knock control system. I also learned that going into high det mode is extremely rare for these cars. I will be setting more parameters and more...

Recently purchased a 2007 MS6. Had some issues but I’ve fixed just about everything. The key fob wouldn’t lock or unlock when I bought it. I replaced the battery in the fob and it worked immediately. Then the next day it doesn’t lock again. I leave my keys in my car. Can this run the battery...

I drove to Lawton (the closest largest city). I went to Walmart, sams, 3 different comer stations and love’s on the interstate back home. EVERYTHING has ethanol in it. Lawton is basically a military base and with that comes all the turbo sports cars that military men and women drive. I wonder...

I tested my findings by going to another gas station an hour away. I bought 90 dollars worth of 91 “ethanol free”. These pumps clearly said no ethanol but I’m still skeptical. I sucked my tank dry and filled with the new gas. Same knocking. The only thing I realized is that both gas station are...

I’ve got another lead on the issue. Now to explain the situation. I just bought a very nice MS6. I pulled into a hutches and put some 91 in it when I first bought it. It ran fine all the way home no knocks. I live in the middle of no-where. (There is actually a town called “no-where” very close...

Fixed the issue. I pulled the intake off my ms3 and put it on the MS6. It runs perfect. My Cobb should be here today. Thank y’all for the help. Hope y’all have a good weekend.

I just tested the in tank fuel pressure, with it running and Revving I saw above 60psi the entire time. so I believe there isn’t an issue with fuel getting to the pump. Just trying to run down the list of possibilities.

Well I just rebuilt the pump after I got off work today. It had factory internals in it and it did have some metal shavings but nothing looked worn. I put a corksport seal set and autotech internals. It still runs the exact same. I should be getting my intake tomorrow. Here's another data log...

Okay new intake will be on the way. I pulled the spill valve for fun. It’s rather dirty and there’s metal shavings in the spill valve area. The rod looks off center. I’ll be rebuilding the pump and putting fresh autotech’s in. I’m sure the pump may be freezing. I just hope the injector baskets...
