Just today on the way back from an area GTG, something busted at 6500 RPM in first gear.
At this point, I'm guessing that it's either a timing chain or worse :(
Symptoms are a big loss of power, ran horribly right after and very hard to crank.
I'll start tearing into it tomorrow.
I do...
I'll be the first to admit that I don't know that much when it comes to data logging and tuning, but I'm trying to learn.
Hermann came down this past weekend and was able to tune my car but also said that my FPDM (Fuel Pump Driver Module) because of my focus pumps.

Ok, my car is stalling when idling even when warmed up.
My car used to stall before it warmed up, but almost never after.
