might be worthwhile getting an ECU from a breakers yard and using it to make a pluggable interface..

Yes,actually reversing/swapping the wires from the VR to the module...

John

A shot in the dark..I have an MS extra that did that...retarded before advancing off tickover....reversed the VR sensor connections and all was good???

John

If you have a VR sensor picking up off the crank,try reversing the leads ( i had mine to the book for years ,but it still retarded before advancing ? )

John

Maybe your idle valve is letting in too much air,have you tried it with the idle valve wiring disconnected..?

John

Correct.

"Second question - I have a Ford TPS and I thought I had the wiring figured out. If I do not and I power up my MSII will it damage anything? There is some question as to which wire is return and which is signal. I thought the worst is it will read backward.

It could damage something if you ...

You mean like running someones datalog?

John

Not from me,but it would be nice to be able to "save" the stock tune as an msq as a really good starting point...

John

I may be wrong on this but....

"I have 12 V to megasquirt while cranking because I used another new car battery to power megasquirt"

I think that at least the earths (battery-battery-chassis) must be connected or you'll have problems.

John

Not exactly local but I've had one for years and have no complaints...
