Megasquirt Getting rpm in MT but no spark
Getting rpm in MT but no spark
First off yesterday was the first i was able to try to start the car with MS installed, so i may have overlooked a few things. The map I started with was from a guy with almoste the same setup, but he was using high impedance injectors and I'm using low impedance injectors, so i had to make thoes changes bofor i tryed to start it up. Second he was using a wideband O2 sensor, i have a narrow band. Had to make changes as well. He also had other things like the daughter card installed so i had to change pin outputs back to defalt settings.
One thing i cant get to work is my fuel pump, so far i'm running it from my ignition switch for now till i figure out what i need to do to make it work.
Back to my ignition problem, I made sure i took stim for wheel "OFF" and sent it to the ecu, I checked my fuses and they are ok. I made a makeshift spark plug holder to ground to see if i was getting spark, I perfer the "shock your buddy
" method but they were all to buisy to play my games.
Other than that I used the wire diagram from the faq section and left the spark settings alone in megatune.

i just tested my leading coil pack and i'm not getting good results. The 12V was live and the wire going to the ms unit i cut and grounded from the pack to the chassis of the car, should it make 1 spark for each time i touch the metal?
