Voltage spike

When I run megalogviewer, I have voltage from 9V to 22V even with a brand new alternator. MS2 3.0

What can cause that?

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

Ms2 ground on the engine block and low impedance injector

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.
