"Logically localized" in that context meant that if the measurements in the 2 temp circuits are identical or very close with the processor unplugged but exhibit the significant differences you've noted with the card plugged in, logical deduction would seem to point towards the dependent variable - the processor card, pins, sockets, etc. As Jobro indicated you should verify the related electrical connections, solder joints, excess flux, etc., before assuming your processor is bad. If the processor is getting a bad value in, it will very happily report a corresponding bad temp. Checking the voltages at the 2 processor input pins associated with the temps (with a high impedance voltmeter, if it's a digital voltmeter it's most likely fine) will help figure out exactly where the problem is.

Ok, I checked all points from the vref, and ad2-1, to the coolant signal pin , against ground and could not find any shorts to ground. So the chip was sent out to where I purchased it to be tested. Thanks Glen's Garage. So Ill post in a few days the results.

Ok so 11! days and no response from glens garage on what the deal with the chip is! Am I impatient? I know he got it couple saturdays ago he emailed me that and I sent couple emails to him and pmed him on msefi forum. And zero response since 11 days ago? Anyone ordered from him in the past few days?Or talked to him? This sucks I have 30days till little one gets here and I need to be done. lol Oh well hope I hear something soon. So tempted to just order a new one from diyautotune.

You will need to retune your throttle pump settings, they will be NOTHING like mine!

I will forward the original email from ken (maui) to you. This code works... I haven't tested the latest code posted here, which is newer, but until it has some KM put on it, and is tested by someone other than ken, basically assume he knows how to get it working 100% but no one else understands the nitty gritty bullshit until it doesn't work for them.

Its the nature of megasquirt, if you find a core variant that does everything you want, then don't bother reflashing your ECU with newer code because ken will change a whole lot of things to improve the quality of the ECU, but that does mean that frequently enough stuff will change that your car will run bad until you spend serious time on a retune....

[EDIT]

Right now I am telling you to move forward from 2.0.1 release, to 2.1.0d because I had problems with the 201 release, once I was able to explain the Ken the serious problems with it, he found them and fixed them, and sent me new code which works flawlessly in my eyes. Without critical review from a rotary user, assume that new code is basically *untested* alpha code.

I can tell you with 100% assurance that the code I'm about to email you does work with no known serious problems... If you can't get this working it is your own fault :P
I've had close to the latest 2.1.0 working on both my rx7, and eage8's. You should use the latest one posted on msextra.com.
