This is the complete kit, straight out of the box. It includes everything you need to complete the basic installation. If you choose to take advantage of the switch feature, you'll need to purchase a witch of your choice. I decided I wanted to mount everything in my glove box. I wanted to keep it away from the EEC so avoid future possibilities of disturbing the wiring connections on the EEC harness.

I removed the glove box from the car and then removed the front panel to access the back of the glove box when installing the four nuts and screws to fasten the MafterBurnerPlus to the inside of the glove box. I drilled a 5/8" hole thru the back of the glove box to route the pigtail connector through, and under the dash to the EEC.

I used two small screws to fasten the rocker switch into place. The wires above will connect to the pigtail coming off the EEC harness. The Purple and Black wires attached to the switch are for switching between Bank 1 & Bank 2 of the MafterBurnerPlus. I did not have to use the included Purple and Black pigtail for the Bank Switch as the existing wires were perfectly long enough to reach the back of the rocker switch. I only had to cut off the default connector and crimp to female wire terminals to the wires for attaching to the switch.

The rocker switch will switch between the two banks, 1 & 2. This will allow two different tunes to be stored, that can you can switched live with the engine running. I will most likely have a winter and summer tune to adjust for major ambient air temperatures.

The EEC, and harness where it all gets connected. Pay close attention to the color of the wires and placement of the pins. They can be easily mixed up. Make sure to wire tie or tape the harness and wires back up afterwards. It's best to remove the plastic cover on the back of the harness plug to accurately access the wires to determine the exact pin # and color wire.

The final product.
Easy accessibility and away from the EEC.

I have dedicated my little Toshiba Libretto as the car maintenance computer. It's equal in size to a VHS tape and runs my  MafterBurnerPlus software and Ford technical CD with no problems. It's perfect for this kind of work.

It attaches to the serial connector and can ride shotgun in the passengers seat with ease. I can make changes on the fly or have a partner do it.

As you can see it's quite mobile. Weighs about 1 lbs.
P166, 64 MB RAM, 2 MB video, 20GB HDD, external floppy and CD drive, full desktop and mobile docking stations, 10/100 NIC, 56 modem (Xircom) and everything else a regular PC would have. 

I wired in a LED shift indicator light to the  MafterBurnerPlus' RPM switch harness. Here you can see the shift indicator light installed on the center of the top dash defroster vent. This was the best neutral location in clear view while driving and I didn't have to worry about the steering wheel or my hands blocking my view.

From within the  MafterBurnerPlus software I can set the RPM I desire for the shift light to illuminate. Since my peak power is made around 6300 RPM, I set the shift light to illuminate at 5600 RPM and go out at 6400 RPM. 5400 RPM helps prepare me for the shift and 6400 RPM gets be just ahead of my peak power so the rpm's lost during the shift will still keep me in my peak power band.

Ford Tolerances for the 4.6L DOHC engine fuel trims at part throttle and idle:
STFT = +/- 10% of zero
LTFT = +/- 20% of zero

The Closed_Loop MafterBurner table is used to adjust all part throttle and drivability issues.
Adjust your fuel trims to get as close to zero as possible in the Closed_Loop table.
The LTFT will self adjust a little bit over time off the STFT.
Once fuel trims are adjusted, apply the same adjustments to the Open_Loop table as a baseline for your WOT adjustments.

EXAMPLE:
Lets say you connect your OBD2 scanner and data log your STFT and LTFT against engine RPM, and you see values greater than +/- 7 on either of them, then you can use the MafterBurner's Closed-Loop table to zero out the trims. You should always tune in the direction of the fuel trim. For instance if the LTFT on the scanner shows -15% at 3500 RPM (rich) and the STFT is 0%, then you should adjust the 3500 RPM slider in the Closed-Loop table by adding -15% (Towards LEAN). You should do this for every rpm range that needs adjusting, and then kill the Keep-Alive Memory  (KAM) by disconnecting the battery's negative terminal for 10 minutes and then reconnecting it. Reattach the scanner and data log the fuel trims again. This time they should be closer to zero and stay that way.

The Open_Loop MafterBurner table is used to adjust WOT tuning only. This is where you will make adjustments when on a dyno.  Make sure you set your WOT BreakPoint correctly before making MafterBurner adjustments, and get a baseline dyno to establish your A/F before making adjustments.

The EEC reads two different part throttle fuel tables,
Cold Starts = Uses this till the O2 sensors heat up.
Heated Engine = Uses this after the O2 sensors heat up.
Both are affected by the adjustments in the MafterBurner's Closed_Loop table.

Also make sure your MAF voltage is not saturating at WOT.
(Meaning max voltage is reached prematurely)
Max MAF voltage is about 4.95-5.01 VDC
This can be checked within the MafterBurner's monitor screen.

Short Term Fuel Trim (Short Term FT) (displayed as SHRTFT1 and SHRTFT2) is a parameter that indicates short-term fuel adjustments. Short Term FT is commonly referred to as LAMBSE. LAMBSE is calculated by the PCM from HO2S inputs and helps maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio during closed loop operation. This range is displayed in percentage (%). A negative percentage means that the HO2S is indicating RICH and the PCM is attempting to lean the mixture. Ideally, Short Term FT may remain near 0% but can adjust between -25% to +35%.

Long Term Fuel Trim (Long Term FT) (displayed as LONGFT1 and LONGFT2) is the other parameter that indicates long-term fuel adjustments. Long Term FT is also referred to as Fuel Trim. Long Term FT is calculated by the PCM using information from the Short Term FT to maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio during closed loop operation. The Fuel Trim strategy is expressed in percentages. The range of authority for Long Term FT is from -35% to +35%. The ideal value is near 0% but variations of ±20% are acceptable. Information gathered at different speed load points are stored in fuel trim cells in the fuel trim tables, which can be used in the fuel calculation.

Short Term FT and Long Term FT work together. If the HO2S indicates the engine is running rich, the PCM will correct the rich condition by moving Short Term FT in the negative range (less fuel to correct for a rich combustion). If after a certain amount of time Short Term FT is still compensating for a rich condition, the PCM "learns" this and moves Long Term FT into the negative range to compensate and allows Short Term FT to return to a value near 0%.

As the fuel control and air metering components age and vary from nominal values, the fuel trim learns corrections while in closed loop fuel control. The corrections are stored in a table that is a function of engine speed and load. The tables reside in Keep Alive Random Access Memory (RAM) and are used to correct fuel delivery during open and closed loop. As changing conditions continue the individual cells are allowed to update for that speed load point. If, during the adaptive process, both Short Term FT and Long Term FT reach their high or low limit and can no longer compensate, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored.

Whenever a fuel injector or fuel pressure regulator is replaced, Keep Alive RAM should be cleared. This is necessary so the PCM does not use the previously learned fuel trim values.

This is one of my old Open_Loop #1 tables, adjusting my WOT A/F ratio.
This will not apply to your engine as every engine is different per modifications, etc.
This should be used for reference only.

This is one of my old Open_Loop #2 tables, adjusting my WOT A/F ratio.
This is about 10% leaner than table #1.
