When I run megalogviewer, I have voltage from 9V to 22V even with a brand new alternator. MS2 3.0
What can cause that?
Voltage spike

Re: Voltage spike
Where is the MS2 grounded, and are you using low or high impedance injectors?

Re: Voltage spike
Ms2 ground on the engine block and low impedance injector

Re: Voltage spike
Try this mod:
1. Cut the center leg on Q9 and Q12 or desolder it so it does not reach the PCB.
2. Run a length of jumper wire from the center leg of Q9 and Q12 to an unused pin on the DB37 connector.
3. Wire this pin to a 12 volt source in the wiring harness, separate from the Megasquirt's power supply wire.
