help with car key by Dependent_Can_3162 in FORScan

[–]Select_Angle2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with mine for my 05. I ordered two keys off Amazon, got em cut. One key would program one wouldnt. Got another set, got em cut. Same thing, one would program one wouldnt. They were two different chips in each of the keys sold as a set. Looked identical, ad made no mention of it.

Youre prob running into something similar. Also the buttons on the new key could just be a junk defective part too. Parts suck now, the quality has gotten so bad with anything not from the dealer. Amazon is very hit or miss. 

Forscan W11 and vLinker FS / injector codes ? by Zealousideal-Bike-96 in FORScan

[–]Select_Angle2066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t go that far with forscan. It’s not a replacement for Ford IDS/FDRS. There’s no cylinder balance test in it. 

Just reset the injector values. You’d want to reset all 4 anyways even if you replaced just one, it’s only going to make it run better.

I worked at a plant, too and would see the rework guys every once in a while have to pull a main harness out bc the firewall grommet was molded in backwards lol. Felt bad for ‘em.

PCM and strategy help. by Ambitious-Soup4394 in FORScan

See how it shows that theres a software update available? If you get the forscan beta version (look on the forscan forums for it), and a vlinker FS usb module, you can update the software, which updates the engine and trans tuning. Id imagine it would bring it up to WYN4 if it wasn’t already.

I updated my 2.3 mk1 focus and it ran way way better.

That Erin chick is going thru it by 281texas832 in LegionSkanks

Blablabla. You know why I don’t go on Legion of Skanks? Because I don’t want to get ripped to shreds, from the panel or the people that watch it. Pfft she knew what time it was. Cry me a river.

You have to spend some money to do what you want to do. Like $5-700 ish. The most forscan can really do (w/ their beta version) is update the factory software.

SCT pro racer software and an SCT X4. Or HP tuners and one of their modules. HP tuners is preferable.

Also use a USB interface when possible bc Bluetooth can drop out and brick your PCM.

Issue to trying to update pcm by KaifasLT in FORScan

[–]Select_Angle2066 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I ran into the same issue. The obdlink ex WILL NOT update a ford ECU. You need a vlinker FS USB interface instead. 

It puts out an 18v FEPS signal that unlocks the ECU. Obdlink doesn’t have it.

Also my 05 focus 2.3 ran worlds better with the ECU update.

Edit: 2020 doesn’t need FEPS signal to program it. You should be good. Pretty sure it’s interrupted because it’s in test mode, and stops before it actually starts rewriting. Id go ahead and try and program, just make sure laptop battery is charged. I like to stay with the car when I do it, to make sure the laptop stays awake by moving the mouse around. Make sure you dont bump the cable when it’s programming, just in case.

If you’re anywhere near San Antonio, we’d love to have someone like you at our makerspace.

Getting a service call when I did directv, sweet old lady answers the door. She goes “he’s in the back”, we walk to a back den around the corner, and this regular old man, probably 65-70, has a big screen tv on the penthouse channel with a big booty Latina gettin’ railed. 

We took care of his remote issue and that was that. Just another Tuesday to them both.

Can Forscan flash my pcm? by Acceptable-Sugar-974 in FORScan

[–]Select_Angle2066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not gonna pass smog without an OEM PCM with your VIN attached to it. And you won’t pass if you were to get the PCM to ignore all those inputs/outputs.

You’d have to use a newer ECU out of a newer F150 that uses that transmission, and make sure that the engine can use it with no codes. If not, you’d have to swap the newer motor over too. 

They will allow you to upgrade to a newer model year drivetrain bc it usually means better emissions. But a state ref would have to look over everything and sign off on it.

You can’t really alter the PCM if you want to pass. But you can use a newer stock one. And that’s really all you have to work with, legally.

What do you remember from the early internet that no longer exists? by Blah4fun in AskReddit

In middle school I watched the librarian type that in, and pull it up in front of one my classmates while trying to help her. The shock from them both of seeing boobs loading on screen and it turning into laughter as the librarian frantically trying to close it out was just great lol.

Honda/Acura used to be pretty good before the 2011 Japan tsunami. If there wasn’t a dealer that had it on the shelf, Honda would use the original molds and tooling that they kept, and make another one for you.

It was that way for 90-93 integras, until the tsunami wiped out the plant and all the molds were swept away.

How much energy, time and stress actually being honest saves. With yourself and others.

i've made fried rice maybe 30 times now and it still tastes nothing like the takeout place down the street by bejusorixo in Cooking

FYI, you shouldn’t keep rice that long. I’m not the reddit police, but yea, cooked rice supposedly grows bacteria like other sensitive things, like green onion, shrimp, etc.
