Mega-squirt tuning is too lean.
One step forward, two back.
Removed filter to find particles on the out side of the filter.
Removed fuel rack and drained it and this is what you see. Expect the injector screens may be clogged. Removed them for a trip to the injector shop to see how bad the dirt was/is.
Nope the car is still not drivable.
This is getting old.

Screen at the fuel pump is clean.
Hello, what is that box under the car front of rear wheel what did you cover with that
The plate is a protective cover for the brake cylinder and fuel pressure regulator/fuel filter.This is the uncovered/ before picture. ( Picture is reverse image, the cover is on the driver side.)

Hello, Thank you for explanation it is good thinking I will do mine the same way.
Injectors are back from the rebuilder.
Internal screens were not clogged, good flow: These weren’t the “lean“ problem.
Time to reinstall.
RP
New plugs and injector rack installed. New battery and fuel filter installed..
Will try to tune the mega-squirt thing again next weekend.
Then, maybe, it can be driven in order to sort out other problems.

ITG foam filters installed.
Thanks Tferrer for the purchase link.

Looks the business...
Battery under passenger rear seat.
How can you have Megasquirt too lean?
Change your VE table.
Link me your data log.
Did you auto tune?
Link me your AFR table…
Send me your data log and msq please.

SFDon, thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your offer and support.
I am as computer-literate as your pet beagle.
Seriously, I'm doing good to post pictures on this forum. I do know how to swap parts and push sandpaper across bondo and high-build primer.
This weekend my buddy and I will do this thing one more time, and I'll share your offer with him.
We had it running acceptable and then the battery went out. Lost what had been learned. (Does that sound correct? Remember, I'm just a dumb beagle.) Replaced alternator brushes and at the next start up it just stayed lean. Removed injectors, cleaned, new filter (a little bit of trash flowed from the backside) bigger battery...so we will see what happens.
If SFDon makes it to Atlanta to do some work/tuning for Scott, the dinner gathering is on me.

I can bend brake lines, too.

Hello, Will you explain about this Antigravity Batteries what is it is that works like normal battery
Let it prove it works well in this application and I’ll give it a thumbs-up. Still need to drive the car and work out all the bugs. I’m betting yes, obviously. The 3.0 cs does not have a big battery load.
It works on my 325is, e30 race car.

Sense I welded the door lock holes to make the doors “slick,” I thought it might be good to put a battery cut off switch underneath the passenger side rear seat.
Not that that would keep the car from being stolen, but it is a nice way to turn the battery off when the car is not active.
Connect to negative terminal, reattach the vertical carpet piece on the outside, attach on/off handle, clean up and it is done.

New alternator.
Scrapped the lithium batteries and added two AGM batteries in parallel under the rear seats.
