No personal experience but please spend time to watch this series at night or whenever, there are 3 of 4 episodes where the guys go into their experience and suggestions They have road tripped A LOT on their channel, doing cross country drives at least once a year with different missions in different compromised cars

I think there's case use for somebody like me who's never done an alignment on the 7 and would at least like the ballpark values dialed in If it gets close enough and can do a number of cars in my fleet I think it would pay for itself with just a few uses

I'm in the same boat with my Pectels. I'm getting a feeling that it will be easier to just sort out pectel as is instead undertaking a swap even though I have a wiring harness and new ECU already. If there was a Pectel to Omex adapter that would be convenient. I'm also in same boat of not having knock sensor and not having wideband wired. Data logging is still a struggle too

Not going funny but rather sincere. The tool for snaps was expensive but made any job on the Cat that required them a breeze Also Thermal infrared (Flir) gun is quite useful for car and home use.

Hard to tell but did you not run the wiring through the headlight mount cavity and ran it underneath the mount?

I really need to dedicate a good amount of time to play with the ECU/Map/Settings in the driveway for a test and tune. I'll update that once that happens.

My TPS situation perplexes me. When I bought the car it had an IAC with ITB's with a vacuum rail plugged into all the runners of ITBs going to the IAC. I couldn't figure out how Pectel controls the IAC so I bypassed it. All vacuum lines are plugged and ITB's idle with air sneaking by the butterflies. Here is my TPS data

Saw them again in a video I posted and it reminded me of this thread

I will admit, these have grown on me

Over the years its hard for anybody to follow, including myself. There's no self mapping option on Pectel but there was a major change when I towed it down to NC for TurboFocus to put it on the dyno and tune it. If I recall since last update I did the whole headgasket fix, adjustable cam gears installed and timed by tuner, cat converted removed and maybe a few other changes. Fuel pressure should still be spot on at 40. I'll follow your suggestion and do another health check with compression and leak down test, check for misfires with temperature gun again etc. I'm not expecting any solutions from the crowd but I do enjoy the audience for this adventure. Eventually if the timing is right maybe I'll just throw a towel and swap to another Zetec and new ECU for a fresh start or commit to cutting a hole on other side of the car and throw in the Duratec I have sitting.

We need to know what zetec you have. Likely a contour one that's vct or similar and it's going to be different than a Ford focus one. I went through this issue when I did my clutch. The car came with a clutch from a focus as a spare but it didn't work with the existing flywheel and after swapping flywheel it didn't work with the existing starter so I had to do a full conversion at that point.

Here we go again. 25%
