New here... have question...

Post by Titus »

Hello all,
Planing of Megasquirting my '93 Mercedes 300. A buddy of mine just offered me his MS2 which he bought a year or so ago from Patatron.com to install in his WV. He never instaled it and the MS is brand new. But as far as I know it is preset for WV (probably Hall sensor) ignition and preloaded with base maps for WV aswell. From other hand my engine has no Hall sensor, instead the ignition is trigered by crank position sensor, located at the balancer. Is it possible to run/trigger the above mentioned MS2 by the coil negative terminal or CPS without modifying it (I am not good with electronics, at all :oops: :( ).
Any input will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm electronically handicapped as well, but so far as the code in the controller, it is probably blank, or can easily be uploaded with what you need. MS2 can be easily configured to use the snesor you have. Can you call the company that sold it and ask how it is configured regarding pickups?

The problem is that this company is out of business and can't be called.
As for the code I figured out the same - it could be reprogramed to suit my needs. As for recofigurating it - man, I am afraid I am too 'handicapped' to handle this.
Thanks anyway.

You might consider sending it to one of the vendors on this forum and having them check it our for you. They should also be able to configure it to your liking.
