Yeah lol. I changed the oil today but had to order the Wix 51335 filter for it. It will be here tomorrow. The oil was pretty bad.
Before the tow, I turned on the pump and fuel was was leaking out around the manifold side of the #1 injector. Yikes.
All I need to do is run a wire from the existing switch to the fuel pump pin on the MS. That will let the MS control everything like it is supposed to.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

Well, it ended up being more than just one little simple rewire. I ended up having to rewire three relays because I was having trouble with relays pulsating and latching and causing all kinds of electronic weirdness. The relays are all now wired like the MS schematics show and everything works as it should.
Bonus is my new laptop battery arrived so now I can use autotune! Whoo hoo!

This thing is really pushing my buttons!!
Let it idle in the shop and warm up. Shut the hood and drove around the parking lot for several laps. Started having ecu resets so I went back to the shop. Popped the hood and started it back up. Everything was fine. Let it run for a long while it was fine. Closed the hood and started getting resets after a minute or two and the engine dies.... What changed??? I closed the hood..... what the heck? Popped the hood, cranked it up and it ran perfectly. Closed the hood, starts having resets and dies.
So for some reason that I don't understand yet, the hood being closed is causing electical noise that is making the Megasquirt reboot. Haha I hate cars.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

My magic wand got confiscated, I'm all out of pixie dust, and I didn't do well in Voodoo 101... that's a head scratcher. The hinges aren't close to any wires right? Does it still have a dome light on it? I'm guessing no, but that's all I have.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

Just a thought dug out of my old memory bank: I think it was earlier than you car but at one time Ford had a defeat device wired to the hood light switch such that when the hood was raised (like on a dyno) the car ran on a different tune than when the hood was down like on the road. I really doubt your car is subject to that but it IS a thought......
And another, more likely thought - Does the MS use a wheel speed sensor. That would be inactive when sitting in the shop and active when driven. Again, just a thought.......

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, even you Deaf Bob. Haha.
I messed with it for about 30 minutes today. Ran fine with hood up. Shut hood then resets began. I messed with some stuff and think I have it fixed. I moved the coil wire away from the hood and alternator. Started it up, shut the hood and it never reset. So maybe it is fixed.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

Great success.
Warmed it up, drove around the parking lot for quite a few laps and it worked perfectly!! No more resets!!
AFR's looked good so I rolled into WOT a couple of times and it did great. Sooo happy!!! It's a little on the rich side, 10.9 afr at 8psi but I will take that over being lean!!
Best of all, no resets and no stutter!!!Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

Ford sells the 2020-2021 GT500 injector very inexpensively. I ordered a set and they are taking forever to get here. Hopefully they will be here Saturday. These should give us plenty of injector headroom to split a block in half. Haha. There are a lot of tempting options for cheap knock-off injectors, but dang, I just can't bring myself to buy them.
They are the same injectors offered thru Ford Racing under part no. M-9593-M55GT
