@JohnCh Can we sticky this thread? Trailer question is pretty important to lots of 7 owners and this thread has information that covers pretty much all the basis across the board.

Personal advice as somebody who's been towing casually for years cars and bikes in enclosed trailers is to setup some cameras to keep an eye on the cargo and/or behind you for back up reasons or otherwise. I HATE the "box of unknown" behind you being towed for hours. If something goes wrong, the feeling that I let it go for hours will eat up at me forever as damage could have been prevented if spotted early. I've had that happen with bikes that come loose and lay against the trailer wall so I would end up stopping frequently and checking on things out of worry. Since then I've set up a "nanny cam" - wireless trailer camera set. Put one inside and one at the rear of the trailer so I can either watch the cargo to see if something is loose/shifting, watch behind me or both. Its not free (a few hundred) and sort of annoying to install but I can't imagine towing without this comfort. As far as brand they are all generic copies of each other and I bought mine years ago, so I'm not upto date on whats currently good. These aren't black and white, they switch to night vision at night. Full color during the day.

I don't even understand how NY title makes any difference on it. It can be insured before ever being registered as anything the underlying covered item on agreed value doesn't change regardless of what you call it. Not saying it didn't happen to you but I just can't wrap my mind around the logic there.

Small update. Played with it for a bit. I think you're on the money. My TPS never sees 0 degrees so the car never stops dumping fuel even with throttle closed on decel. Double checked to see if it's mechanical pull to 10 percent or so it bad calibration. Even with throttle disconnected im still at 10 degrees so time to mess with ITB throttle butterfly stops and resetting things to 0 and bumping up fuel tables so it stops dying when I indicate that it's now 0. To be continued

Link is down for me. Wish I got to see more of that creation

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%

Wow that's actually a great call on white wheels Someone missed this

Are those fuel lines? Is that an FPR?
