Sometimes the easiest things just turn into hellish nightmares. Took the 4 bolts out that hold the fuel rail in place - pulled out fuel rail to swap injectors - and reinstalled... Went to put the exact same 4 bolts back in and every. damn. one. feels like they were cross threading going in. Didn't wanna start, then when they finally did, had just a pinch of tension on them, now they don't wanna snug down, just feels like they're spinning under tension about 1/16" off being fully seated.
Every hole lined up perfectly - I could see right down into the bolt holes.... But I'll be damned if they wanted to start and thread nicely.
Fuel rail is in place, everything looks fine.... Just can't seem to get that final 1/16" of bolt in to firmly seat the rail. Absolutely infuriating that something that simple could be such a PITA. I could see 1 bolt not wanted to go in - but EVERY SINGLE FRIGGEN ONE?!? I triple checked to make sure I didn't mix up hardware (could've have - bench top was freshly cleaned before I started).
Just one of those "Why does this crap always have to be an issue" kinda deals.

Can't express how thankful I am to Ben and Brian for the help today and the past week. MS is installed and running excellent for the short period of time we had the car running and working today. Holding off on more tuning until I get a slight break-up at 2.4k RPM sorted (think we've got it sorted, just needs some tweaking).

Ben fixed my exhaust this weekend too. He will tell you otherwise though

Can't express how thankful I am to Collin for having a multimeter and actually using it. Its no fun trying to assist folks with diagnostics and wiring when they dont (not talking about anyone on here)
I see how it is Brian....

Except that I claimed I wasn't talking about anyone on here so I can save face by lying and indirectly criticize you. You cant prove anything
I feel as though a picture of the typical expression when working on m20 stuff will surface in this thread...

Many thanks to John P for helping me out with an OE VR sensor to test with my MegaSquirt install. The new sensor solved a sync loss issue and allows my car to rev above 2400rpm!!!
Also a huge thanks to Ben and Brian for all the help via call/phone/text and in person getting MS setup and running well!!!

I'm glad it was an easy fix!
We should talk to the guys that make tunerstudio and suggest that the data logs record audio, as the best conversations happen while trying to tune! -
What kind of heater?
Don't remember the brand - but it's a 75k BTU downdraft. It's hung and gas line is run to it.... Just gotta get the exhaust in and a thermostat.
