Will do. Thank you for the advice. I’ll report back on what I find.

Sorry for reviving a year-old thread. After I posted it I got frustrated with the car and put it down for a while, but I’m trying to get myself back into it. It’s been a tough year. @AeroCoupe how you describe your t-bird in your post is how my car is set up. The battery is in the trunk. I...

Hey guys, I think I found the solution to my problem, but I wanted to get other peoples opinions before I move forward with it. I moved my battery to the trunk. I have 1/0 ground and power wires going to the battery. I have it grounded in multiple locations in the front and back of the car. My...

I have tried that. It did not seem to have an effect. I’m going to go back to the drawing board and probably go through the no-start checklist. It’s just baffling that it ran well right from the base tune that came with the microsquirt to not running at all. Am I able to download base tunes from...

I pulled the plugs and double-checked my settings last night. The plugs looked fuel-soaked. Even the anti-seize I put on the threads was watery-looking like it had fuel mixed in. Since they were practically brand new I tried cleaning them with brake clean and a wire brush and let them dry. Once...

I believe I have this set to going low. You recommended this to me when I first started having issues and I think it was set to that. I will double check it though. The last time I was able to get it to run, I was running rich and was trying to lower the values in my fuel table for the rpm and...

I set the settings per the instructions. I couldn’t get it to fire. It cranks and chugs like it wants to turn over, but it doesn’t. The battery is charged, fuel pump primes, 40 PSI at the rail, but no fire. It’s getting fuel because after I try to crank it, the wideband registers a reading. I...

Thanks for your help. I’ll try the recommended settings and we’ll see how it goes.

I’ll read up on how to make that adjustment. I made the rpm adjustment down to 350 like you mentioned. Was there anything else that you’d recommend I change before I try to start it up? I feel like I don’t know where to start for timing. When I had it running, I had it at 20 degrees, I believe...

Ok. I finally got some time to work on this. I was able to get my wideband to register on TunerStudio. It’s about .1 or .2 off, but it’s pretty close. I was getting funky intermittent (but correct) readings from my multimeter, so I just went back and ripped out the analog + wire and started...

I calibrated it under custom WB in the drop down. My exact model is not listed, which is strange because I’ve seen videos posted where it was one of the options. The other two AEM products on the drop down do not match what is in the instructions. I calibrated it based off of the scaling table...

I got the signal ground sorted out, but I am still having trouble with the gauge output to TunerStudio. Its still stuck at 7.3. I reduced the cranking RPM down to 350 as recommended. On one crank it barely turned over, but sputtered and died. The time was no longer than a few seconds, and the...

Thank you for the quick reply. I will make that change once I’ve figured out the issue with the signal ground on the harness and report back. I also appreciate the offer to help me get the car running. It fired right up first try when I first installed the microsquirt, but I’ve since moved...

Ok, so I walked away from this for a little while, and to be honest, didn't feel like picking it back up out of frustration. I pulled apart my a-pillar to trace the wiring for my wideband gauge. It has power (red), I grounded it to a bolt on the chassis (black), The analog +(white) was wired...

The output was already set to going low. I went into my project and pulled out the file that I believe is the .msq file. I attached it here. I think I have an issue with my wideband gauge and I have to go over the wiring again. I have an AEM x-series 30-0300 wideband gauge. It has power...

I’ll give it a shot tonight if I can and I’ll report back. I just replaced my TFI module and my fuel pump. The long tune I posted before was right after I replaced the TFI. Im very much new to this, but I’m trying to work through it. Thanks for your help with this.

Hey guys. I'm a beginner with this and I think i've turned myself around so much that i'm not sure how to correct my issue. Any advice would be appreciated. Its an 88 GT with a microsquirt. This is a brand new build for me, so I am working off of the stock tune in the microsquirt. I had it...

Sorry for the late feedback guys. I eventually figured it out, but I had to eventually pull the whole thing out. I put the trans in myself the first time around. I think I may have knocked off the throwout bearing from the clips or the pivot stud from the clutch fork. I pulled everything...

It’s incredibly frustrating to upload a video from an iPhone to this forum, unless I’m doing something wrong. Here are two photos of my fork inside the bell housing. One is disengaged and the other is fully engaged. Everything flows smoothly. Not sure if this is much help. I’m just not sure if I...

Hey guys, I would like to get your opinions. I am putting my 88 5-speed car back together. Aside from the t-5, everything is brand new. MDX clutch, throwout bearing, clutch fork, pivot stud, Maximum Motorsports cable and quadrant, and firewall adjuster. The car previously had a junk cable and...
