Weird chain of events last night. I moved the trans and engine towards the driver side hoping this would cure the vibration I'm hearing. Come to find out it's my damn coil cover vibrating like a banshee. Easy fix.
So I took it on a long test ride and when I tried to give it the full beans up the interstate ramp the car went into limp mode. Barely got to the top of the hill and checked laptop codes.
I don't know what any of that means yet but snapped a pic, shut the car off, and started it right back up. Throttle was working again so off we go.
I took a windy slow road back to do a couple hard throttle pulls. HOWEVER when I stomped the throttle again it went into limp mode. I think what's happening is it's getting pushed past the drive by wire calibration threshold and freaking the Haltech out. Obviously when calibrating the pedal you can't really slam the throttle so I got home and pushed it as hard as possible to recalibrate. Don't know if that will fix it but I stomped on it a bunch to check values in the software and I think that may have done the trick.
Also for some reason both fans were on when I pulled in. I expected for the lower hose to be warm only to find it cold again. I need to figure out the best way to set up the fans because I think they are overcooling enough that thermostat won't open and then it's stuck warm on one side just enough to engage fans.
I love this car, and I'm loving this engine. It wants to rev. Tires are fighting for traction in first and second. They are crappy tires, but it made the drive a lot of fun. It almost feels like my old FRS with a supercharger.
Once these little details get sorted it's going to be awesome. I'm really excited to get some miles in and see what it can do without any real drama.
