No Crank Trigger / RPM - New Installation Configuration

[Tony C]

ta mate,
i'll adjust to around 500 then,

have swapped the wires, but will try it again.

[Tony C]

still no joy,
So now i think its time the ecu got looked at properly,
Rob or Dnb either of you two fancy taking a look please,
i know you didnt do the recent board mods but running out of ideas now,
the msq was done by dnb so doubtful thats at fault, the sensor is giving a signal as previously tested by your instructions,
Jago was going to try and come over to take a look at the car today (he text saying bit busy but will try)but never heard from him by 7 tonight so came home, now im at a loose end getting car done for this month now..

Do you have a scope of the sensor readout at the sensor, and ecu, and chip?
This must be addressed and you need to be 100% sure that the sensor is perfect before assuming that the ecu is faulty.

[Tony C]

if i had a scope mate i would,
this is where having to rely on people come in to play
regarding the ecu,
it was converted from hall to VR back in jan 09 and i have had no way of testing it until recently when we went over to wasted spark,
thats why i want Rob or dnb to check the board to see if the modifications done in Jan are right, or if something is wrong. (missing from board)
the only test i can do at present is what Rob said with the DVM,

There could be a problem with the MSQ.  I am not sure that the firmware you have works without a camsync.  (Based on stuff I found on the wiki while researching 1.1.59)

I am going to put together a firmware and MSQ based on what is currently in the TVR.  The NOS functions will not be there, but that's a small issue compared to running the car (and I'll have 1.1.59 working by the time you need NOS anyway).  This should allow you to get an RPM signal.  I will host it in the usual place.

I have a scope and everything, but I'm a little far away to be of much use.   (Unless you can think of a way to make the area surrounding Newbury attractive to my good lady and daughter for a few hours... )

what version is that .msq you sent mate?
as my firmware version is 1.0.73 at the mo.
cant get back to the car now until the weekend,
which is a night mare as i now only get two days a week to test anything :-( (saturday and a sunday)

[rob@vems.co.uk]

Did you try the signalgen thing?  That's the first thing I'd be doing if you sent it to me.

[dnb]

The MSQ and firmware are 1.1.46.  You will need to download the appropriate Megatune distribution too.

Hi Rob no mate as this old slap of a laptop has no sound card,
bought it faulty and never needed sound for doing the tuning on the car,
maybe its an excuse to talk the mrs into me getting a new one

Cheers Dave off hunting for it,
is there a link to what i need to dload on the forum anywhere?

thanks again for the help guys,
just itching to fire this new engine up :-)

[Tony C]

i can find
1.1.44 and 1.1.47
not 1.1.46 point me in the right direction please.

[dnb]

I really meant 1.1.44.  Sorry!

[Tony C]

did you dload off the forum mate?
or somewhere else?

[dnb]

I think so...  Can't remember now

[Tony C]

right downloaded 1.1.44 from sambas post in software,
that capri test .msq you posted Dave,
is that just to test the crank trigger no other settings? e.g car wont run on that msq.
