Here is the link to the Sonoma Raceway trackday on May 23rd with Speed SF if anyone else is interested.

The cost is $280 bucks. Looks like I registered before anyone else haha!

Another local group Speed Ventures is also having an event on June 6-7th

it is more expensive at $320 each day so I will not be going.

Hopefully I can test and tune the `Cuda at Sonoma so it will be ready for Laguna Seca

Exactly one month away from Sonoma!

hopefully I can make it!

Engine is in!

Nice!

Some bad news...
Unfortunately I am thinking of dropping out of the May 23rd event.
There is still a bunch of little things to do on the car such as wiring electrical, adding oil/coolant lines/ fluids, weld up exhaust/ o2 sensors, engine tuning, alignment etc...

In all honesty I could probably finish the car by May 23 but it will be un-tested and there is no way I would be comfortable going to Sonoma with a car that hasn't been shaken down for problems yet. I usually like to drive my car around for 2 weeks to a month before an event to work out issues so that it is good to go at the track.

That being said I can probably still make the June 6-7th event, it will cost a little more but at least it gives me some more time.

Even if I can't make that, I will be definitely ready for Laguna Seca on June 27-28th.

Some progress...

should be running soon

Looking good!

Oil pressure 80 psi check!
Fuel pressure just under 60 psi check!
Plugs got spark!
No injector pulse...
On top of that my laptop blue screened of death...

So close!

Ive got fouled plugs and wrong O2 values. Feeling good though...

I failed!
Could not get the engine to start...
I have been busy trying to see if I installed something wrong this whole time, but it turns out my FAST XFI and XIM boxes are not communicating properly!
Looks like I won't be making Sonoma this year...


I finally dragged the car home from my buddies shop and hopefully I can sort things out as Laguna Seca is in a month. This is what I get for being cheap and buying FAST haha! I should have gone Motec instead...

Oh man that's a bummer.

I was kinda feeling lost with the MS3 at first, then I stood back and took a couple days to think about what the car was doing. Also asked Wade and EFISource Mike some questions. Realized I had Eagle plugs and I unplugged my MAP sensor to put the right bolts in it. Its ready to rock now. Take a couple steps back and think for a bit, you may realize you did something without even thinking.

I don't know FAST as well as I know megasquirt, but I'm willing to lend a hand if I can help in any way.

I would be happy to help too. Don't give up on the fast stuff so quick, they have about the best support network out of the aftermarket efi suppliers.

Thanks for the support really appreciate it!
I really think one of my FAST boxes has an issue?

I have been working with the FAST tech support guys and Mr. Rich Nedbal FASTMan EFI, they helped me out to update all the firmware to the XIM which controls the coils and the XFI which controls the fuel.

That led to the XFI and XIM to communicate.

I have still not been able to start the engine so I went and checked to see if my spark plugs were working.
I had previously tested the coils on all 16 leads to check for spark before the firmware updates and had verified spark with a spark tester.
Well now cylinders 1,4,6 and 7 are not getting spark!

All of the 8 coils and 16 spark plugs still function because when I swap them around to the wiring that does work I am able to generate a spark to the spark plugs.
The funny thing is that half of the cylinders that get no spark are in a pattern:
1 = no spark
8
4 = no spark
3
6 = no spark
5
7 = no spark
2
I checked the continuity to the wiring harness to all the coils and it all checks out.

It's just strange that I would have spark to the coils before but now lack it to half in that pattern?

That's what leads me to deduce that I probably have a bad XIM coil box and why I haven't been able to start this entire time.

I will get back with the FAST tech on Monday for more help

I just read through your thread on the fast board. The only other thing I could suggest is to measure the voltage drop on all your grounds to the fast boxes while cranking. Ideally you should get 0.2VDC or less while cranking. Another thing would be to check the terminating resistors on your CAN network (measure them and make sure they are 120 ohm as stated). Seems weird that Arrow had the engine running on your stuff but it doesn't work in your car.

I did find that one of the ports on the back of my intake was open, as if a vacuum cap had fallen off. I sealed that up right away.

I checked the CAN terminating resistors and they read 117-119 ohms. I couldn't read the other resistor as the pin hole is too small for my multi-meter probe but I think I am ok there.
I also have spare resistors from a spare LS1 harness.

Apparently the no spark to every other cylinder is normal?

does the software allow you to see the crank and cam sensor signals (as in a waveform)?

Try re-loading the firmware. If spark was working before and not now, that's an issue.

There's a chance it wouldn't start the first time due to the vacuum leak, and now it won't start due to a bad firmware upload.
