started tuning my squirt the other day (its an MS2 with PCB3) and because i don't have a stimulator and the harness was already in the car i just used the cars power to turn it on while tuning, well while i was setting all of the perimeters all of the warning lights came on (see picture). I didn't know what was going on so i just finished up and tried to start it, noticed i had no RPMs on the tach in the car or on the laptop, so i took the cover off of the harness connector at the squirt to check connections, everything looked fine, i plugged it back in and tried again, but now i cant connect to the megasquirt, all 3 of the LED's light up and stay on, and the fuel pump cycles 3-4 times

WHAT DID I DO?? ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

 

So this is a complete new install?

I hope you had the ignition coils disconnected while setting up the ECU!

The pump is cycling because there is an error in your config. Reload the firmware and start over.

 

yes its a new install, and of course i unplugged the coils, im actually following your writeup

Any ideas about all of the warning lights??

 

they come on key on engine off. it takes the alt charging to turn them off

 

I was going to say that... but I figured everyone knew that.

If they're on when the engine is running, that could be a sign of a jacked alternator.

When my pump was cycling on/of 3-4 times, I found out that my dumb *** forgot to put a diode across the e-fan. Blew a transistor.

 

Yep, on a stock car, it means that the alt is bad. It's either that or you have some messed up wiring.

 

ok, now i feel a lot better
