After lots of back and forth with Holley trying to figure out the issue to no avail. I managed to kind the issue being a broken wire somewhere in the upper half of the motor causing everything to go bad, I managed to get it running again until I pull the harness out and figure out where exactly the issue is and fix it.
Issues arised again when I was about to take it for a test drive and the clutch pedal kept sinking further and further to the floor, after pulling the trans I was worried I overextended the slave cylinder but it ended up being the fittings leaking, a little Teflon and it should be good. So far now it's sorta running and driving, I expect next month I will be driving it until the new Maverick comes in mid may.
Speaking of, I ended up cancelling my original hybrid XLT order in favor of an dealer stock incoming xl base model with the 2.0 EcoBoost and AWD. Slight downgrade but I am impatient and some money will be spent to take it up to the level of the XLT I ordered. So far besides minor things such as led swap, tailgate assist etc, I'm looking at a 1 inch level kit or a 1.5 inch lift, still unsure exactly, wheels, tires, heated seats, mk8 fiesta steering wheel, and the most noticeable one will be the colour matching of the black textured plastics to make my own Maverick STX. Still unsure of wheel colour but I have a while to decide, anything to get rid of the base steelies.

STX is a trim the Maverick shouldn't be missing. Why the mk8 Fiesta steering wheel though? Also curious to know how much above sticker you'll be paying for it.
Here's the stock urethane wheel, and the fiesta leather wheel, for only 200$ it's a decent upgrade for the feel of the interior, even though it's dealer inventory I'm getting it for MSRP. I'm going to try and see if I can negotiate a trailer hitch installed

Not bad, also flat bottom which is how every steering wheel should be imo. I'm still contemplating getting a Raptor wheel in my truck.
Awesome
