@Zack I just heard back from Vortech. They claim that the booster must go in between the PCM and the FPDM and not in between the Intertia switch and the FPDM. My question to Vortech: Vortech's response: Do you have instructions from Vortech that state otherwise? If so, what model Vortech...

The voltage on the battery while the engine is running is around 13.5 volts. I haven't checked the alternator yet, but I will do a proper test of it soon. I have some interesting data from my LCM data capture exercise: LineNo: 630648, Time: 161, Channel: C2145b-6, voltage: 13.583703, 1000...

Stumbles off the line? Could be the COPs. I've found that Delco COPs are just as good as Ford's and are less expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@zack, Yes, I still have the same LCM issues with the Vortech booster removed and still occasionally see 16 volts on 2 of the power supply lines: C2145c-1 and C2145c-9. I have not had time to really analyze the data closely after the removal of the Vortech booster. I'll do that this weekend...

I removed the Vortech fuel pump booster and I have the same LCM issues. If I pursue this LCM issue further on this site, I'll open a new topic up, as this one is concerned with the proper installation of the Vortech fuel pump booster. @Zack's statement that the Vortech fuel pump booster is to...

That is how it is connected. I'm about to remove it to see removing it resolves my LCM issues. I'll also be logging data coming in and out of the LCM to compare it against the last set of data, where things were misbehaving.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm going to remove the booster and see if things go back to normal. This is a Reinhart kit (and yes, I had to wait months and months and write nasty letters to get all the parts) that includes the Vortech booster. The kit was installed by Little People Customs...

So my Marauder's been sitting in my garage for almost two years now, undrivable because ever since I had a Vortech supercharger kit installed, I've had nothing but Lighting Control Module (LCM) related problems (headlights going on and off, headlights sometimes not going on at all, turn signals...

I'm having some very strange problems that I originally thought were LCM related (I'll describe those below). I pulled the LCM and desoldered all 4 relays and replaced them with brand new relays (4 new [COLOR=black][FONT=&quot]EQ1-11111S relays). I reinstalled the LCM and nothing had improved...

Hi. I've extricated the LCM from the car, removed the two torx screws and opened the case. But how do the two circuit boards (connected via two ribbon cables) come out of the case? I've managed to get the top circuit board (the one with the single white cable connector) over the two retaining...

I have exactly the same problem. Headlights flashing on when they are switched off or off when they are turned on. Clicking from under the dash (sounds like it's above the knee bolster). The horn going off (for a fraction of a second). Some here have said the LCM wouldn't cause the clicking...

Still available? I'm in So. Cal. and can likely pick up.

The engine has been removed and is partially torn down. The timing chain guide consists of two metal shelves in a V configuration originating near the crankshaft and extending towards the top of the heads (where the camshafts are). Each shelf is about 10 inches long and maybe 1/2 inch wide...

I could only find incandescent bulbs at rockauto.com for the Marauder. Where are the HIDs?

I'm taking the car to Little People Customs Inc. in Ventura. They were highly recommended by MMR. They're pulling the engine, doing some tear down and then taking the long block to MMR. MMR will rebuilt, port & polish and put in forged aluminum pistons. Probably gonna drop the compression to...
