be as prepared as possible and bang it out over a weekend

 

remote tuning video

 

So as of now I was on the final stretch and I made a big oops... i welded in the dash area and now my car is not recognizing the tuner ...I checked all my fuses and visually inspected what I could all seems ok.. all other electronics are working properly. According to sct the obd port is on the same circuit as the cigarette lighter which the fuse is good.. also because at first it wasent warming up as usual I figured it was the computer so I bought another to eliminate that and that was not the issue.. My next plan of action after no luck with my volt meter will be to swap dash or take out dash completely and use a racepak digital dash and a stand alone engine management system then later on figure out how to make door locks lights a,c ect work seperately

 

Turns out it was sct's device that was malfunctioning then I ended up frying my computer later doing something else troubleshooting.. so now I have the new computer ..towing it to the dealership to flash in the vin and have the pats all line up should be good to fire up and start dealing with 6shooter on remote tuning again ..also before the crap hit the fan when I was tuning with 6shooter the first time it idled fine like you can see in the video but revving it past 3k it would not and it sounded like a spark issue ..upon doing some research online the screamin demon coil pack that I bought from this tbone guy on this site. They are known to go bad so I guess it went bad on him and he decided to pass it on to the next victim which just so happened to be me.. well that trend stops with me because I threw it in the garbage.. while I was figuring out the sct issue out I put on another coil pack I had and voala 5k with ease.. so can't wait to see if I'm back in business tomorrow..fingers crossed!

 

Ehhh... the "mustang specialist" at my local stealership whom I have dealt with before, was not successful at completing the task that i had him do for me 6 months back.. there is something wrong that I have yet to find out and honestly.. I'm tired of trying ..so now I will purchase the AEM standalone engine management system and wire it in parallel with what is exsisting so I have full control of my engine but still utilizing my factory gauge cluster locks windows ect..

I am not too upset about this turn of events because honestly it had to happen eventually there are no dyno tuners that will use SCTs software only AEM and as good as a remote tuner 6shooter is and has proven that many times over.. and as much as I wanted to have it running for a while all motor on 6shooters remote tunes through the sct software. I know that there are many very talented tuners here in Miami that are more than capable of creating me a safe tune with this engine/turbo combo

Now I just need to cough up like 1200 for the AEM computer and go through the process of wiring it up properly and I think I need to get yet another wideband because the AEM gauge is apparently very sensitive..

 

The dyno tuner that is familiar with the aem system is going to be available some time next week. The plan is to have a sit down and come to an agreement of a aem computer that is compatible with my car and is also a computer that uses the software that he is already familiar with. Also he will be figuring out what the trigger pattern is for my engine (from what I have gathered doing research the trigger pattern is documented by the number of teeth on the flywheel that pass by a certain point before the spark signal is sent) I donno I'll be paying close attention when I speak with the tuner and let you guys know how he finds the trigger pattern. He might actually use a trial error method or have them saved. I was hunting it down myself and I found out that even v6s in the same car of the same year even can still have different trigger patterns. I'm going off of like 1 source on that 1 so I donno hopefully this tuner guy has all the answers lol

 

I'm beginning to understand this area more now thank u for the brief explanation I'll keep reading it over to try to get a better understanding..

However, as I proceed in my quest to adapt an aem standalone engine management system a particular nuisance question seems to be reoccurring. The question is what is the trigger pattern?
At this point I'm not even to trying to find out mine in particular I just want clarification on what it is exactly and how it's found from there I will find it for my engine
Seems to be something the average Joe is not familiar with
..so the tuner is still not yet available but thats ok I'll wait
..good things come to those who are patient
