The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.

i have a 87 rabbit just freshen up the block slightly and put itbs on it. i built the board myself. it is a ms2 v3. what i cant get is that when i go to fire the car it will crank ant run but it will only run for about 5 seconds then it is like it is starving out. i am trying to do alpha n. but i stimed the board out about 2 months ago then put it in the car and had it kind of piggybacked to make sure everything was working right. everything worked right in tuner studio when i checked it. it had a good tach signal in the injector led would flash good to. now it seams that the injector led is dieing out when the motor starts to shut down. if any one can help it would be much appreciated. i need to get this car going again. thanks
I don't see any big indication of hardware problems; it's more likely it simply needs fine tuning. Try pulling a spark plug after a failed start and see if they're wet with fuel.
ok i am going to work on it now. so u dont think it is in the box an that i just need more fine tunning. ok i will give her a shot an tell youns what i come up with.
ok i got it to run today but its still giving me trouble when im tryin to start it. when i got it up to temp got it idling it would fire right back up. i left it set cleaned the plugs up and went back an then it would not fire up an stay running. in order to get it to started today i had to knock the pwm up to 50 then i was able to drop it back down to once i got it running. the next time in order to get it running i had to do the same thing jump the pwm up to 50. i got a data log and the current msq.
