coolant sensor losing calibration
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 8:19 am
Hi, new to the forum. Just got my RX7 with a vg30e nissan v6 running. I have MSII PCB3.57 with 2.6x firmware. Have a strange problem where the coolant temp sensor is losing it's calibration.
It did it a few days ago while sitting and yesterday while in the middle of test driving the car. Megatune shows 0 degrees on the gauge. This caused the cold advance and enrichment to kick in and my fan which is controlled by the sensor didn't turn on either of course and car started to overheat. I thought megasquirt had a limp home mode built in but I guess not?
Any suggestions on what might cause this? It is grounded at the same place on the block as my MS.
