I would put a bead on all of the boost tubes Can't imagine they will stay put without one. I used a modified harbor freight 9-1/2" wire crimping tool and some forearm muscle on my tubes.

That sounds miserable.

Post the log and tune on here and I”ll look. I doubt I come up with anything that ZZP couldn’t see. But I might be able to help interpret what is happening.

My Son, at the birth of his first child, was confused, "How can I
Love My Wife so much and now I'm feeling an equal volume of Love for this new person, my child?"............... I found an answer from a math teacher. He "Figures" that Love just isn't covered by math! "Love is singular in effect, that Love, when Divided, it Multiplies!" Congratulations! Here's hoping mucho multiplication for you and yours!

Check - Brake lights work now. Thanks @Brett And @Rttoys
Check - Alignment
Check - coolant light off
Check - logging tunes session on Friday
Tires are at 17 psi m, easily adjusted if Im wrong.

Where is the suspension supposed to be? Right now everything is 3 clicks off of soft.

What was the fix for the coolant light? Mine says low, but obviously not.

I cut the connector off with about a 3" pigtail and connected the wires together.

[comegetjoe]

Thanks!

Let me rephrase that. I cut the pigtail off incase someone ever had a real fix later on down the road and then connected the two wires from the harness side. (I figured you got the idea)

A lot of the time it’s just the float stuck down in the tank. Happened to me when I first built mine. I took the tank loose and shook it a bit. The float broke loose and it’s been fine since

I bought a brand new tank and it came with a brand new sensor. *shrugs*

I’d still try. Back when I worked at a GM dealership we still had to shake some brand new ones to get the float to float

500 misfires later and we've got a start, somewhere to go off of. D@mn you cylinder #1. Have you been messing with me the whole time? What is your malfunction? I hate you.

Matt says

So we did just that.
-swapped 1 and 2 coils
-swapped 1 and 3 plugs
And the misfire stayed with cylinder #1. This time I think the number was like 492 misfires in one short 2nd gear pull, so somethings surely a foot.

The talk about the bypass was my Forge bypass/recirculation valve being an issue. Once we get this thing running right Ill put it back on, but for now Ill run a stock valve just to eliminate any kind of variables.

Scotts bringing his compressions testing goodies over tomorrow and we'll check this motor out. If its good (155k on this bottom end) then Ill have to contact ZZP and see what they'll do for me as far as these OPELs go because they've got 50miles on them and at $500, I'd rather not eat that kind of money.

Updates to come.

I would focus on the coil wiring. This sounds like an intermittent contact for the connector or possibly a broken wire in the harness. Try wiggling the wires to coil #1 and see if it causes (more?) misfires.

 

[ah.b.normal]

Individual coils. I think I would supplement the ground circuit to the coil and maybe to #1 injector next. (But I see bad grounds in my sleep so maybe it's just me?)

 

[Markm]

Hopefully he’s bringing a leak down tester too
