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'm try to get this my car tuned and so far i can get it to idle pretty smooth without the override wire plugged in but when i plug it in my idle jumps from 800 to 1600. I have it wired through the fidle port with the spare port set to provide 5v after 300 rpm. Here is an msq...

So i've looked around quite a bit and can't find anything that would explain this...how would applying 5 volts to the ignition module cause my idle to jump to ~1600 rpm ? I could see it if i had a fidle valve but i dont...I had a small vaccum leak and my idle adjustment screw was stripped so it used to idle around 1100rpm (this is with 0 timing at the balancer) with the override disconnected (bpin on hei module), even then when I plugged in the override it would jump to ~1600 rpm and whatever timing the spark table wanted (around 28).
