Rules: Post up how your onboard ID10T or pedal actuator let you down. In other words what did you do to screw up and what trouble did you get in?

Post it up as close to a detailed technical issue as you can. And try not to outright or directly define the issue.
Credit is gained if anyone asks for you to explain what actually happened.
You could use PM's to reply so you could keep gaining credit and not openly define the issue?
If asking for a explanation either quote the post or refer to the post number.

Please follow the rules to keep it clean and fun.
No off topic or general conversations.
 

I'll go first.

Today my onboard ID10T and pedal actuator let me down. First the onboard ID10T overestimated the distance to volume ratio when the petro level sending unit is less than 2%. The onboard ID10T was slow to respond in readjusting to acceptable levels the petro level sensor. By not properly regulating the volumes the pedal actuator continued to allow high flow until small pockets of low density fluid was introduced. The introduction of low density fluid resulted in engine knock, misfire and loss of power. The onboard ID10T sensed the knock and loss of power but overcompensated by additional pedal actuation. This additional actuation consumed the remaining volumes of higher density fluid until a full flow of low density fluid remained. The engine knock became constant and loss of power continued until the engine shut down. The pedal actuator maintained actuation and the ID10T failed to adjust the transmission gear ratio until loading further reduced momentum. This ID10T failure left me stranded and walking home. Once the ignition was off and the ID10T readjusted the petro level sensor, the engine was then able to start.
