I'll go throw the ethos on it real quick

I stand corrected, I never tried one after the other like that, weird thing is, with the ect unplugged the fan come on. I wonder why the interceptor read 60.xxx and scanner reads -40.
I guess maybe we do have NTC ect

ok -- here was the fix for my car after all the month of headaches I have had
From Trifecta tuner Vince ----
"I removed the minimum pulsewidth cap that 60s generally require to operate properly. Looks like you might have gotten a “good” set of them, it’s the first time I’ve seen them not misfire randomly without the cap."

The computer is programmed so that if the coolant temp sensor fails the fans will be set to high at all times.

Makes sense, but strange. The 60s pretty much always require some finessing with the minimum pulsewidths, but the fact that they run good without the typical minimums set is odd.

mjmur it fixed my car .... not sure why it would be any different than some others....I am just glad I can drive the car now without having to disconnect sensors!!
Odd thing , bought a canned ottp tuned pcm to try and it worked 100% fine on my car with no bogging....I am not sure why that Trifecta tune has to have the minimum pulsewidth cap removed to be able to drive my car without it bogging in every gear unless ottp does that for thier tunes. Either way , I think I will get dyno'ed and do a run with trifecta tune and the ottp tune and see who comes out on top and by what margin. Just waiting on Vince to go over the datalog from a cpl days ago to see if he needs to make any fine tuning first.
Thanks anyone for ideas in this thread and others I made like it looking for help , as most people told me it was the tune that was the problem on my car and now I have spent like $1000.00 to get where I am between sending my car to various shops to find issues to buying other pcm's , swapping parts , you name it all to come down to the tune , sad day for me LOL
thanks again

Well, there are different ways of adjusting the short/minimum pulsewidth for the injectors. Not sure how Vince does it, but some ways of adjusting them are more "forgiving" than others.
