1) I got nothin' on how I got this to happen. Oh well. It hasn't happened since so I must have corrected it, although I'm not a fan of not knowing how I fixed something. I'll be double checking the ESC system connections.

2) Where would I find the steps to reactivate the gear indicator? Is that perhaps in a post by steve99? He seems to be a wellspring of knowledge in that regard.

3) So I didn't flash my PROcede controller at all. I soldered up the wire harness as you show in your video, with the exception of connecting the black signal wire to the PROcede connector that shipped with the ESC .

4) I am planning on connecting up my PROcede to my PC (yes a PC, not a laptop ), which should be an interesting exercise (i.e., moving my 20lb+ tower and a monitor over to my car ). This is why my last question was a semi-rant. Oh well.

5) Thanks for the confirmation. It would seem then that the raspiness associated with the 93 Oct ESC 2.0 tune is not harming the engine? I would generally expect not given that, from what I've read, Shiv has made the OTS tunes safe for this application. I'm only just starting to learn more about engine tuning so I am at a loss to otherwise convince myself of this by analyzing data logs and such.

6) Again

And of course I forgot to ask it in my last post, but do you or anyone else experience the weird sort of scratchy electrical noise coming from under the manifold cover when turning the ignition to the ON mode? I forgot to mention that while my Odyssey battery was at about 12.4VDC, my stock battery was at 12.8VDC so I'm left wondering if 0.4VDC is causing something to act up, which based on my understanding of electronics, seems like that shouldn't necessarily be the case.

I'm planning on flashing back to the 93 Oct ESC 2.0 tune and reinstalling the ESC with the FTS (I was back to stock over concern about the ESC not spinning up on startup and the OTS tune). I'll probably have to wait until this weekend to connect the PROcede up and see if it has a throttle map loaded into it.

Again, thanks for the quick response. Along with Robftss's development ethos and dedication to creating something that is focused on affordability and performance, yours and others (e.g., fenton et al) enthusiasm and support to the community of users, users-in-waiting, and others ultimately motivated me to pull the trigger when my turn came up.

2) here you go! http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6536

3) so the signal wire was never connected?

4) fuiuuuuuuu


Can you get me a video of the start up? Curious what sound you are hearing.
