the startup was pretty uneventful.. only one little issue popped up. when i first started it, it was running for maybe 2 minutes at most, and i noticed a snapping/clicking noise coming from the passenger side of the engine, around the valve cover. about the same time i noticed the check engine light flashing, so i shut it off and scanned it immediately. it was a misfire detected code, i then found the cause, one plug wire was off the coil, the clicking noise was the coil arcing. i put the wire back on and fired it up again. it was only off for maybe 45 seconds total so i wasnt worried about stuff cooling down and heating up again. then i let it run for about 30 minutes, no codes came up, no fluids leaked, no odd noises. i was actually impressed. now i just have to bleed the brakes and clutch and mess with the y pipe a little more. Then ill focus on tuning it really. All i did with the tune was to delete any codes that would pop up... AIR, O2s..etc. and put the values in for the larger injectors. As for some of the idle settings, i looked at a tune for a car with a ported TB, t-rex cam and LTs, and copied some of the idle parameters. the trex is only slightly bigger than my cam and i just wanted it to idle so i could verify the engine itself had no issues or leaks. i didnt even touch any of the pe or ve tables yet. My main thing was to know it will run and that everythign was connected right, all hoses tight etc, how good it ran.. wasnt my first goal, lol, that can be adjusted now.
