Authorities ID woman who died in fatal crash on Southern, near Haverhill

Authorities have identified a Wellington woman as the driver who died in a single-car fatality on Southern Boulevard this morning.

Marissa B. McKee, 20, died after she crashed her car around 3:38 a.m. while headed westbound on Southern between Jog and Haverhill roads, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's traffic homicide report.

The report, released this afternoon, states that McKee was under the influence of either alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash.

McKee was driving westbound on Southern, when "for unknown reasons," her 1999 Honda Accord veered sharply to the right after passing through the intersection of Avocado Avenue and began spinning and sliding on the roadway, the report states.

The car rolled over and down into a drainage ditch after sliding into the roadside curb and onto the sidewalk.

McKee, who died at the scene, was thrown from her car and landed behind a house, according to the report.

This morning, witnesses at the scene said the violent crash could be heard with detail.

"I heard metal flying and someone told me it was thunder, but it was too much to be thunder," said Linda Salvadore, who heard the crash from her home. "You heard the metal, you heard the breaking of everything ... It was pretty bad."

Fabian Bencomo, who also lives nearby, said he heard a few "big bangs" before he ran outside and saw the woman's car. Because it was dark, Bencomo said he couldn't find the woman at first. He said he thought someone had crashed and left the scene.

"We look back and I see a girl lying (on the ground)," Bencomo said. "She didn't even talk. She was just trying to gasp for air."

Staff photographer Lannis Waters contributed to this report.

Need Help setting up 42 lb injectors - HP Tuners Bulletin Board

Ok, so I've ruled out everything else on the car. The injectors are causing it to run pig rich...9:1 AFR at idle. Car is a2005 Mustang GT with a recently installed On3 turbo system. Can someone please look over the injector settings in the tune and let me know if something looks wrong, or if there are any other parameters that need to be changed with the 42's? I'm using the latest BETA. I'm confident that the MAF table is correct as it worked great with the stock injectors. Only changes after that was the 42's. What I found interesting is that when I lowered the Injector offset vs. voltage by a factor of 1,000 the car leaned out to within 20% of stoich. see post # 38 in this thread http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showth...ight=injectors With that being said, SCT, DiabloSport, & HPT never had the unit listings wrong. This is how they were always displayed in the PowerPC vehicles (as you'll see by my quoted post from 2008 below). Labeling may be a different story, however, but that's more of how one perceives the decimal description in their head. ie 0.0007xx and 0.003xxx is viewed as a ms by some, and not as a sec (ie 1.x). I even discussed this on SCT's dealer's forums back in 2007 or 2008. Furthermore, on the "Injector Offset vs. Voltage" function in HPT, you're gonna fock yourself if you copy Ford Racing's "FNPW_OFFSET" values direct from the pdf file. Why? Ford Racing shows the values for the parameter in EEC-V specs. The EEC-V pcms has these parameters listed in seconds, and the the newer Oak pcms have them in milliseconds. Therefore, you just take the values for the EEC-V pcm and divide them by 1000. Here's Ford Racing's values in the proper format for HPT: Bill - can you double check to see if this was indeed fixed in BETA? When I divide the ford values by 1,000 for the "Injector offset vs. voltage" the car runs better. The Ford .pdf lists voltage offset in (ms) and shows 4.XX and the HP Tuners table says (ms) so I entered 4.XX right from the .pdf, but seems as if I still needed to divide the Ford specs by 1,000 and enter .004XX. James - in theory, if I have the MAF table dialed in and make an injector change, the fuel trims should be very close to where they were before making the injector change, (assuming the injector settings are properly setup in the tune)? Taking into account the above issue (asuming it's not fixed), what else should I need to fine tune to get the fueling where it needs to be?
