If you do decide to go the OBD2 path, don't spend time or money by playing with resistors. Just put in the correct OE value resistor and let the computer do the work. Incorrect resistors just fools the computer and makes it think it is doing one thing, when in reality the IP is doing something...

Looking forward to watching this get to completion :) For the lean-to, 10' seems just a bit narrow for the camper. Yes, it will fit, but the margins are a bit tight with little room for error in backing. If the budget allows, might consider another 2'. Just a thought.

The video's author did not seem to like EFI conversions either. At the same time, my mechanic loves the Holley product. Do not have a dog in that hunt as only my garden tractors have carburetors. Everything else is injected by original design.

A little late to the conversation, apologies. Agree with Will, my vote is also to completely go through the engine. Cry once. Did not know that the valve seats were individually replaceable. This might come in handy for a friend's old vehicle so that we can stop trying to find lead additives...

Can sympathize. My beloved does not pay much attention to those pesky warning lights either. During an evening diner conversation, the wife casually mentions that the brake light on her car is now constantly On. Of course this lead to the next question: Ummmmm, What do you mean that it is...

Managed to watch the video via other methods. Red tractor, playing "chicken" with the bull, and the buddy encouraging the driver while safely on the other side of the mobile phone. Almost looks like the friend might have wanted the bull to go nuts in order to win prize money after submitting it...

Whatever that is, my system is having seizures and not allowing me to view the content over multiple security layer push-backs.

Is it too early to tell the newbie about the monthly belching contest?

Now that you got that solved, stay away from ideas of modifying the resistor value. Hint: with a drive-by-wire system, it does nothing. Actually, there are quite a few mods that do nothing with a drive-by-wire system other than drain the wallet. So, all the more reason to stick around and ask...

Amount of sand is low, but still enough to cause trouble for the water pump. Not helping is that Ferd originally spec'd something like 100K mile change intervals on one of its coolants (IIRC, the Orange variant), so even a tiny bit of sand had plenty of opportunity to pelt internals. Perhaps...

By the way, yanking the IP and re-installing it without telling the computer will probably not change results as the computer remembers its last state. Put another way, need to trigger the TDCO learn routine after each installation / rotation of the IP, otherwise the computer will not change...

Here is what I learned for DS4 mounting orientation on an OBDII platform: - As others note, make sure there are no fueling issues or leaks. - Mount the DS4 IP somewhere in an acceptable range of possible orientations. Don't sweat "exactly perfect", just get it somewhere physically in its happy...

FWIW, structural is not the only critical area for concern: https://www.tomshardware.com/3d-printing/3d-printed-part-failure-causes-light-aircraft-crash-after-plastic-air-intake-melts-during-flight-pilot-escapes-with-minor-injuries While this event falls into the generous "good landing"...

Printing parts is a neat idea. Personally, I'd wait a while and see how this plays out as there are news articles in the aviation world where current technology for printed parts is not exactly the greatest thing for all applications. Especially for critical locations.

Unless the engine has a history of needing the coolant filter, it won't hurt, but might not help either. I run one in the Ferd because the casting process for that block is known to leave a lot of sand which works its way lose over time, blasts the water pump, and causes it to leak. At first I...
