Great news! The car moved under it's own power yesterday. Granted it was only from one side of the driveway to the other, but it moved. I need to re-bleed the brakes as they don't work at all, but that was to be expected since this was the first time they were used with the car running. I definitely have a voltage issue as it doesn't look like the alternator is charging very well. In all my attempts to get the car running over the last few weeks I may have damaged some internal circuts in the alternator. I'll have it tested this weekend. The next priority is to get the cooling fan wired in and working. I can tell she is running extremely rich, but I'm not going to make any changes there until I finalize my intake/air filter setup and switch spark plugs. I got the car to idle at a steady 900 RPMs. I couldn't drive it far since there is no cooling fans and the front spindles are only bolted hand tight since I'll have to take them back off to press in new wheel studs this weekend. If anyone is intersted I have 10 long ARP studs for sale that fit the 5 lug spindles from the late model Proteges.

Been a while since the last update. I had some major issues with the ECU. I basically fried several diodes and a circuit trace in the ECU. I finally got that fixed today and put the ECU back in the car. After about a 30 minute phone call to a friend familiar with Megasquirt and my setup we got the car to idle properly. I was using the wrong MAP setting in the ECU. I then went and adjusted the trigger angle in the spark settings which was quite a bit off. Now she idles nice and smooth around 1,000rpm and 13:1 AFR. I'm setting up an appointment for the dyno next week. Hopefully we can get some good basic numbers to post.

You didn't ruin the MS did you?
Also, are you the one building the shortblock for Stephan's MSP?I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
