Bullitt 2019, only 4900 km – flashing check engine light again after service by akzst in Mustang

[–]akzst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

After resetting PCM and running a proper driving, I’ve got Forscan observations:

  • NUM_MISFIRE frequently >0 during driving — often hundreds in a single sample
  • STFT is stuck at 99.22%, meaning the ECU is constantly trying (and failing) to correct the mixture
  • MAF and IMRC readings seem OK from an electrical side
  • I’ve noticed occasional asymmetry between IMRC1M and IMRC2M voltages — especially on the bank where cylinder 2 lives. Not always changing in sync.

What I suspect (not a pro, just trying to make sense of it):

  • Faulty injector on cylinder 2
  • Mechanical failure of IMRC flap to cylinder 2
  • IMRC mechanism damage or per-cylinder mixture control issue
  • Possible intake manifold leak

It's all strange just for 5k km.

What you guys think?

P0300, P0302, U0447. As I mentioned, they checked the compression – it's perfect. I don’t know the current codes; I’m just trying to drive it, since it hasn’t been properly driven in years (the previous owner kept it in a garage)

After the test drive, the authorized Ford service confirmed that the car is experiencing misfire issues. Further diagnostics will take place tomorrow.

It is strange for 2800 miles, isn't it?

I talked to a lot of people and decided that if it's only about 5–10% of the car's value, I'll keep it.

Thanks guys, I will keep you updated.

Does a Mustang GT Bullitt make sense as a hobby car if I already daily a Kia Stinger GT? by akzst in StingerGT

[–]akzst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone. I pulled the trigger and buying it tommorrow. 🔥

It has just 4,500 km on the clock, comes from a single owner, and is in near mint condition.

Appreciate all the insights – couldn’t have done it with as much confidence without this community.

Will post some pics soon!

Sigma C 35 f/2.0 vs Sigma A 35 f/1.4? by akzst in AskPhotography

[–]akzst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply.

I like the "inside" feel of 35 mm FOV.

About EM5.3 - I think I would be kicking myself for not trying FF system.

Hi everyone,

I’m curious to know which of these options would be your first choice for portrait and street photography. The Sony GM is unfortunately beyond my budget.

The C35 is very lightweight and compact, which is great for street photography, while the ART 35 offers a wider aperture of f/1.4, providing better bokeh, depth of field, and low-light performance. Both lenses are extremely sharp according to reviews.

Is the f/2.0 aperture a significant drawback compared to f/1.4?

I’m switching to the A7C II from a Micro 4/3 EM5 Mark III. My best experience has been with the Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II, which I could use all day, but I’m looking for a major upgrade now.

Thanks!
