Re: Help - Erratic injector ground - at a race!

Ok. I fixed it. Cold solder joint on U4. I was able to get the stim back into a condition in which injectors were wide open when they shouldn't have been. I started checking voltage with a multimeter. When I touched one of the pins, the injector LEDs started pulsing. I re-soldered all 8 of the ...

Re: Help - Erratic injector ground - at a race!

Trakkies,

I think you're right on. I think the flex issue is with the stim, but I had a new finding.

Yesterday, I fired up the ECU on the stim. Injectors were firing on the stim. The injector LED on the front of the ECU was flashing. All looked well. I left it on for several hours. When I came ...

Re: Help - Erratic injector ground - at a race!

I had to put the car on the trailer and tote it home.

With MS on stim, I can often reproduce the problem by plugging in the stim while slightly flexing the stim upward. This puts a bit of load on the DB37. When I pull the stim down, and unload the DB37, all is right with the world.

Other than that ...

Help - Erratic injector ground - at a race!

Help. I'm running a MSII, PCB 3. I am at a Chumpcar race and my ECU is erratically pulsing the injectors.

Here's the scoop. The engine used to run perfectly. I started having starting issues, but the engine ran perfectly once started. During our last race, the injectors went to solid ground and ...

Re: FIdle isn't working

Ok. I declared victory a little early.

Here's the deal. I'm using IAC1 as my spare port to trigger an electric fan relay. When Megasquirt is powered on, everything works perfectly! As soon as I power off megasquirt, the relay trips and the fan comes on. Turn on Megasquirt, the fan shuts off until ...

Re: FIdle isn't working

Eureka! Well, sort of. The FIDLE isn't working, but the IAC spare ports are. All I need is 2 spare ports. Now I have them.

I was following Trakkies's words of wisdom. I can see that R19 has voltage when it should and doesn't when it shouldn't, but pin 30 was still no good. I had narrowed down the ...

Re: FIdle isn't working

I turned off the "solenoid" setting. No luck. Still won't ground.

Trakkies: what are the drivers that you mention? Which ones are they on the diagram?

For what it's worth, the "port 0" indicator goes on-and-off in tunerstudio. The last time I used the stimulator, I couldn't get the fidle light to ...

Re: FIdle isn't working

I have been on a hiatus for the last few months, but I'm back at it now.

I have attached my msq.

I cannot get the FIDLE or the IACs to work as spare ports. For the IAC, I installed the jumper wire as instructed. I can get the Accel LED to function as a spare port, so I believe I have the software ...

FIdle isn't working

Help.

I have MS2 with motherboard v3. I built if from a kit. I have been using it successfully for 2 years on my Lemons race car. Recently, I decided to use the FIdle to drive a relay to a circuit that will have flashing lights,, sirens and whatever else it will take to alert my Lemons drivers in ...

Suggestions for Automatic Mixture Control Settings

I have a Toyota MR2 with a 4AGE blue top engine running on MSII. I would like some guidance for setting up automatic mixture control. Right now, I have the auto-generated VE table. I have an Innovate wideband.

In the AMC, any recommendations for settings for:
Step Size (%)
Minimum VE Change ...
