I spent this afternoon and evening installing and trying to get the new ECU setup and working properly. The install itself was super simple to complete. probably took 30min or so and knowing what I know now... I could probably install another one in about 10min.
After getting it installed I fired up the car. IT RUNS! but... it idles around 2000 RPM and I have not been able to track down the cause of this. We went through the calibration and setting of the base timing that made no real difference.
I have a few things to try once the sun comes back up tomorrow that I hope will answer some questions. if not... I'll be looking to the forums for some assistance.

PARTS!
Been a while since I have posted to here... long couple of months in my personal life and a move back to Helena, anyway...
I have been ordering parts again. Purchased a Torsen limited slip from Mazda and a MegasquirtPNP with a wide-band o2 sensor. All of these parts should be rolling in starting the end of this week and beginning of next.
The engine rebuild is finally starting to move along again. Head should be complete this week. Bottom end will go back together next week.
Suspension will be installed this Sunday. Looking forward to seeing how the car feels after getting that done.
