Config Help.....

[Tony C]

upgraded from 1.1.44 to 1.1.74 tonight,
BUT have had a few headaches,
VT didnt recognise the firmware or config currently on the ecu,
SO i have had to dload the config with MT, and then upload 1.1.74 with VT,

How do i upload the tables and config from the MT file?
have been going through page by page on two PC's, MT on one and VT and the ecu file on another,
I have uploaded the MT config and table files along with the VT file here:
http://Http://www.capriracing.co.uk/configs.zip
can some help out please?
also can some one check over the VT file that will be used as there are a lot of new things on there that im not sure what to set to...

The downloaded config + tables files you created using the old MegaTune script files can be cut and pasted into a single .vemscfg file. Use a good text editor like "Programmers Notepad" to avoid text formatting problems caused by Windows Notepad and the like.

Then while connected  to the upgraded 1.1.74 ECU, choose "Open Config" from the file menu and pick the "Upload config" button.

Later, you can drag and drop my config file (or any other config file) onto the dialogs, wherever you need new and sane settings. The new cranking and afterstart settings are well tested in my file, with gasoline on a BMW M20 engine.

I know, it's sad that 1.1.44 is not recognised even though it is a popular version.

tony,

I've been using V1.1.75 on my 4.6 v8 for a while, and just starting to get some good results.

If you want to take a look at my config, just ask and i'll email it over.

I am still getting to grips with all the new settings in the firmware, hoping to get some more tuning done today.

cheers scott,
just tried opening yours and it says descriptor file has not been found,
so i did the cut and paste thing, and that too says no desriptor file found,

do i need to be connected to the ecu to view these files due to this descriptor error?

tony,

use the web firmware dialog and dowload V1.1.75 then click re-install firmware, and it will be fine.

its under tools -firmware in the vemstune menus

Oh my day gets better, why did i not leave the 1.1.44 version on the ecu and live with its starting probs etc,

now ecu wont talk to pc or laptop says no avr,
tried the paper clip trick and still nowt,
any other ideas on how to boot this back up?
want to put 1.1.44 back on for now as i know the car runs with it....

[Tony C]

looks like i have VT talking to ecu again,

now for the time being how do i get 1.1.44 back on?
as its not lited in the firmware dlaod box in VT
and when you open MT it says the ini file is wrong etc..

tony,

you will need to get V1.1.44 from the vems wiki page and download it from there, as its not in the web firmware download.

then i think you can place it in the vemsproject folder where the other firmwares are, then you can use upload firmware choosing V1.1.44...then upload your previous configs.

tony,

sure i understand taken me 6 months to get mine even drivable, so i know what it's like.

Very easy when you can see the cause of problems, frustrating when you cant.

Just taken me a week to find out, why my idle has only been 5degs of advance.

got a strange one here guys,
took the car for a run tonight,
from startup she was running leaner than normal,
so took her for a run with datalog going,
what does the lambda target mean? is that what you should be be running and lambda is what it is running?
if so mines all screwed :-)
as im getting lambda target readings of 3.90 while driving :-(
at 6260rpm- lambda of 0.73 - lambda target reading 52.0

[dnb]

lambda target is the looked up thing from the lambda table.  It sets the aim point for the mixture when EGO correction is running.

Make sure the lambda table is OK!

[Tony C]

table seems to be the same mate nowt different there :-(

any ideas???
