Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Just a quick update:

My problem with no rpm signal is now sorted :yeah!: Had a look over the MSII board and found a bit of wire between D1 and D2 jumpers.... must have come off the soldering iron tip or when I was putting the cover back on..... Thank god that's all it was! It's a little late so I ...

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Hi all,

Ok, I've gone through and changed my MSII to accept hall/optical trigger and put it all back together...... I am no longer getting a tach signal to the MSII :( my tacho responds while cranking but there is no rpm feedback while viewing in TunerStudio. Also noticed that the fuel pump doesn't ...

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Just had a 'light-bulb' moment...... I think I might know why I'm having this problem. On the initial setup of the MSII many years ago, I had a VR signal from the distributor; I recently changed this to an optical signal distributor and being such a long time since the MSII assembly, I forgot about ...

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Replaced the plugs, no love! I normally don't give the car a hard time when it's cold but today I opened her up before WUE cycle was complete and there was no hesitation/pinging. As soon as it was close to operating temperature, it started to cut out at 4500rpm...... correct me if I'm wrong but ...

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Just wondering if it could be my coil or plugs? Might try a new set of plugs tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Hi Matt,

Sorry to bother you, just wondering if you can shed some light on a problem I'm experiencing.

I'm not sure if I have a bad batch of fuel or if it's the high temperature we have at the moment but my Z seems to stumble between 3500-4500rpm under WOT. I've attached a screen shot of where the ...

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Hi Matt, just wanted to say thank you; my voltage spike issue seems to have disappeared since I modified Q9 & Q12. Thanks again!

Merry Christmas.

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Thanks Matt; I came across that mod in the documentation last night. I will make the mods and post the results as soon as I can.

Once again, thanks for the advice, much appreciated!

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Sorry, forgot to mention it's a version 3.0 board. I'm not using any resistors; I've got 3 injectors per bank. It's been a while since I did the install, from memory I think the injectors are approximately 2.5ohm. I configured the board for low impedance injectors when assembling. Sorry if it's a ...

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Hi Matt,

I'm running 440cc low impedance injectors off a supra. All of my cabling is screened and shielded with the shield (one end only) tied to ground at one common point.

I've attached a screen shot of the spikes; not sure if you need any more info regarding my setup.

Thanks in advance.

Marc.

Re: Voltage spikes and Sags with MS II V3.0

Just wondering if you found a solution to this problem? I'm experiencing a very similar problem in my 240Z (running an injected L28) and am getting the odd voltage spike of 21.6 volts and down to 7.3 volts. I'm running MS-II with 2.886 firmware. I'm not using the standard alternator; ending using an ...
