My wife's grandpa likes to remind me that the only people not making mistakes are the ones not doing anything! I love that you shared this. And that you found it!
Wow! Great find. Bummer it kept you thinking for so long. Again, thanks for sharing. It's just as important to share the lessons learned than just the how to do it videos.
Well, having just started my coyote for the first time last week I just assumed the somewhat rough initial idle was due to a base tune . After watching your latest vid (I watch them all) I decided I would check as I knew I am completely capable of making every possible mistake😊. What do you know I also had them reversed 😮. Yet again your videos have been so very valuable to the rest of us knuckleheads. Thanks again.
YEP, went out and started her up immediately stabilized and purrs like a kitten at 750 RPM.your the man. Now if you can only figure out why my KRC power steering kicks back at me aggressively in the opposite direction whenever I attempt to put in a steering input (enough that I keep my hands clear) bled it as much as possible twice and same result. Is it possible I have the rack connected backward?
That makes my day knowing my video helped and glad your coyote is purring like a coyote should😂 No onto the power steering, I think you have the high pressure feed on the output line on the rack. Aka the lines on the rack are reversed.
I kinda thought that might be the case. thanks for your help. I can honestly say your videos (and Paul) are my number one and two resources. You have been so helpful and I am grateful. I wouldn’t be at the go cart phase without your videos. I will swap out the hydraulic lines (and make a huge mess) when I get back from this trip. Thanks again Matt
Thank you for your kind words. I took a lot of inspiration from Paul’s wonderful write ups as he does an amazing job detailing everything he does. Safe travels and let me know how the steering works out.
Question: I presume your are using the Gen3 Ford Performance Control pack with 2018 PCM? I have that setup, and when I download the base tune from the PCM then it wasn’t readable with HPT VCM editor unless I send it to HPT and they have modify the file to work. Did this happen to you? You mentioned you are playing with tuning. Are able to look at the Lund provided tune or only the base tune?
When I use Vcm editor it needs to connect with hpt. Seems to work fine and I didn’t need to do anything to make it connect. As for tuning myself I am just scratching the surface and probably won’t get into it much. I cannot see Lunds tune only the results from a datalog or maybe I don’t know how to look at it. I am a real novice on this stuff.
I have a Gen 2 that has the same start up symptoms but looking at my wiring harness and connectors on the engine I can’t understand how they could be reversed. Can you explain how you corrected? Thank you,
The wire harness that comes off the ecu has two o2 sensor plugs and they need to go to the correct bank/o2 sensor. Bank 1 is on passenger side and I think I assumed it’s driver. Hopefully this explains it. If not we can talk on phone.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Please keep your videos coming; we are all learning. Williamsburg Coupe - go-kart stage.

I agree. And what really makes this worth it was that I have now helped two people with the same issue.

Thank you. Stupid mistake on my part. Hoping everyone can learn from it.

That is why I keep making videos. Thank You!
