This msq is for your old firmware? (2.0.0)

I thought you updated to 2.1.0? assuming you did, could you post that instead?

Are you using the stock injector size? If so your req_fuel is about half what it should be...

All of your basic ignition settings look OK as well.

It looks like you're using the default AFR table which is a bit lean at low rpm. In my experience the rotary likes to be a bit richer in that area.

You also should probably set up a split table. I added a "traditional" table. You might want to experiment with negative split. I've not had time to do that and I don't have EGT installed so I can't really do it in any kind of scientific manner anyway.

It looks like your main ignition table is a bit rough. Mine is probably only a little better, but I included it in the msq.

Anyway, PM your email and I'll send it to you.... Your req fuel is probably the only thing keeping you from starting your engine.

I am running stock injectors. The tables I used are ones I found on the net. Thanks

The main issue I found was that the req_fuel should be 9.5 not 4.5.

I still need your email to send you the updated msq.

its finally running, after all the problems, it is finally running, and with a single 18 inch glass pack and about 30 inches of exhaust pipe, it is loud. I just. I loaded the new MSQ, and it just wouldn't start. everything looked good, it just wouldn't fire up. I was looking at my fuel filter and noticed that when I tried to start it, the fuel would stop pumping, the battery was so low that when I hit the starter, it would turn over, but the fuel pump would stop pumping. I got a new battery, threw it in, and after 20 seconds of cranking to clear out the fuel, it fired up. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that chimed in on this one, and thank ken for all the help, and fixing my MSQ.

Good news. It probably still wouldn't have started with the settings you originally had, but glad to hear it's running now!
