Parasitic draw is current, not voltage, so not finding it that way, while the car is running, is not surprising. The alternator raising your voltage is kinda weird though, the voltage regulator is supposed to keep it in spec. Does the new alt have a vreg like the original?
When changing the ESS (crankshaft sensor), you need to reset the profile memory for it to read well (on an S1 you step on the brake 20 times in 8 seconds).
Are you measuring voltage at the battery or through the ECU? Because P0562 is supposed to be set under 10v at the ECU... I don't know how your ECU would see significantly different voltage than the battery, but if the ECU actually reports 14V and still sets P0562 that's super weird. Is that the right code? Not a typo?

They tested the ecu at the dealership not sure how much I trust them. so voltage regulator and test each wire in the pcm connections is my last bet I am assuming.
The new alt is a 200 Amp and voltage increases as I travel when idle it goes back to the 14

Anyone know if non heated cloth seat Rx8's have the connectors for the heated seat switches in the center console?
I have a lead on a 70kmile low compression car (soon to be 3rd car), but it does not have heated seats. Funny enough it actually has the sat nav, which I will be removing for a custom arduino+raspi android auto kit I am working on. Long term plans are in place to run my current rx8 into a rusted heap while setting #3 up with a rew.

I do recall when it first started was with a fuel sensor error that went away but since it never came back don't recall what it was I also need to replace the sending unit

The generator voltage is governed by the PCM, so there is no traditional VR like a traditional alternator setup.
A lot of high output alternators have a tendency to crap out and don't work properly depending on who builds them and what they actually do to them.
Of you have a functioning OEM generator I would go back to that to troubleshoot. Otherwise you have introduced a bunch of variables that will be difficult to figure out.
The PCM control scheme is a bit strange. I have seen values that I couldn't really explain at times in data logs...

please make sure the nut on the output wire (under the domed gray protection cap on top rear of the alternator as shown below) is tightened down well
In the past the nut being loose has resulted in the alternator being driven to higher output by the pcm because it’s seeing a lower voltage due to the poor/inconsistent connection and then that wire overheats and burns up. There are several threads on here where it happened. Not sure if it pertains to this situation or not.

I think maybe you ought to start your own troubleshooting thread. There's a lot here. Half the graphs don't show the scale or axis.
What rpm is that 1.7lb/min reading at? Is that at idle? That's *way* too high if so, and useless if not at idle. The short term fuel trim being negative is a bit of a clue, but need to see the long term trim.

this is a brand new engine?
and you don’t have any tuning on it for this change yet?
now I didn’t go through every post and am maybe missing the boat or maybe you left something out, but based on the above it probably just needs to have the idle increased.
that will require pcm tuning software

Maybe just pay someone to tune it but the drop in idle is felt in the Powerband when I drive it like power is lost even though it doesn't sound like it.
Rx8 vs a gt 5.0 after 3rd gear by 6 cars...
I'm not sure if it's supposed to go that fast or if the driver just sucked but we did 4 pulls no difference...and my car seems to run rich I smell the fuel maybe from midpipe but the exhaust isn't the carbon color more red orange so burning more fuel which I can tell by looking at the fuel vs the mileage I'd say...18 hwy ish

do you understand the actual difference between those rotors and the RX8 rotors?
I know Pettit adds in a custom cut-off seal, but it’s still going to be leaking exhaust gasses into the intake chamber due to the different placement of the side seals and other features that were designed into the Renesis rotors to minimize it. I can see that affecting idle and it may need to be a lot higher than that imo. A bridgeport might be up around 1500 rpm as one reference point.
I’m not sure if the blower you mentioned is already installed?

So my idle maybe to low bogs down to compensate the lack of fuel and readjusts...that makes sense...but the code is what's killing me I started a post on it allowed me to.

meant to look that up, but was distracted.
posted the info in the thread you started in the S1 Tech forum area; in short, P0562 has nothing to do with any sensor. It’s the battery power supply wiring to the pcm that it then also monitors the voltage of. So you most likely have a power/wiring issue somewhere from the battery ground point on the chassis and the pcm terminal. Or worst case a bad pcm node or other internal issue there, but that’s the least likely imo.
I posted all the troubleshooting information over in the other thread you started.

battery, and the room fuse..it's the engine harness , the 1 wire is pinched somewhere in the harness.
