by reverse jump start, I think when the previous owner needed a jump, the put the jumper the wrong way

That's some impressive work there! Respect!
Why did you take out the whole dash and interior ? Is that required to get to all the computers?
So many questions, awesome post!

since i suspected the car to have an electrical issue, i started ripping every thing out. All of the wires passed visual inspection. The only thing remained was the engine bay. I took everything out to inspect the wires and they passed visual inspection.
With ISTA/D, i started trouble shooting bad modules. NCSexpert and Winfkp were used to code and program the modules. I used ISTA/P to program and code the transmission module.

Well well well...I'm back gain..lol
I took the car for a spin around the area. Drove smooth and comfortably. THEN I get the cute half engine light with not reduced power, but rather shut off the engine... pulled code 2C01 code for fuel rail low pressure. I had three HPFP in which NONE fixed the issue.
I know back when I had the low press fuel pump disconnected, i measured the voltage to be about 12.6V.
yesterday when i disconnected the fuel line, the gas color was more like yellow (pee) and it did not have a strong odor! not sure if that is related but i know i put 3gal of premium gas during the rebuild.
I will check INPA and see if i can get fuel pressure readings.
finally, in the other models, when you open the car you can hear the LPFP priming, but this R60 does not do that. as a matter of fact, the LPFP wont turn until you actually start the car!!
any thoughts?

Nice, hopefully its ok now. This has come a long way. I think you need to tell people it was struck by lighting and brought back to life with superpowers and a fuel pressure sensor.

Thats good. Hope they enjoy it and keep it out of the flooding or electrical storms.
