Megasquirt Lost my INJ1 signal
Lost my INJ1 signal
When I first assembled my board (v3), I played around with the "output test mode" to see if everything was good. When I tested the injectors, both banks worked properly.
Now, after figuring out a different problem (no RPM) I went to try to start my car, and was not getting fuel. Going back to the stim I now see that only my INJ2 bank fires, the INJ1 does nothing. I have voltage on the INJ1 LED, so I know I have power to the injectors, which means it must not be grounding bank 1 properly...
I don't really know what to test, I've done a bunch of reading, tested voltage all over the circuit and everything seems to be ok from what I can see. Also, I'm sure the LED on the stim works, when I jump it to bank 2 it blinks.
I am running staged injection if it matters. (Although that shouldn't affect output test mode).
Does anyone know of anything specific I can test? Any ideas on why it worked before, but not now?
Thanks in advance

Does anyone have a schematic I could use for this? I can't seem to find anything good for the Injector driver circuit.
Also Aaron, if I were to test this with a DMM first, what setting should I have it on, DC volts or AC?
I can (sometimes) get ahold of a scope, but not easily because the one I use is in a university research lab where there's people trying to work on projects that are actually related to that research :P

The other schematics and descriptions on how the circuits work are here:

For this kind of work you really need a scope since you are tracing a signal. A VM set to DC probably would not respond fast enough to be very helpful.
I had an appointment to get ahold of a scope tomorrow, but earlier today I found a small piece of solder in between two pins of Q14. I guess it was grounding out the signal.
Both injectors are working again!
Thanks for your help!
