No Crank Trigger / RPM - New Installation Configuration

[dnb]

That's right - the fuel pump and coils are disabled.  (There is a spark map, so it would "simply" be a case of switching on the fuel pump and coil drivers.)

have been informed Jago is going over to the capri this saturday,
he is taking his scope etc over, (fingers crossed it runs)
What do i need to get him to test while he is over,?
and how to test what ever i need to test,
i can print it off and take with me in the morning,

cheers guys.

well at last jago has mangaed to get over to the car,
put his scope on the trigger and it gave a perfect signal he said,
And he said the trigger and wiring up to the ecu is not at fault,
he has taken the ecu back with him to see what maybe the fault, or if he did miss anything whne converting it,
also just to test the setup uploaded the new firmware dave and still no trigger with the trigger msq you did,
Will keep you posted as Jago hopes to get the ecu back to me before next weekend, so we may av some sparks at last

we have life,
well sort of,
now got rpm on MT when cranking,
the car tries to fire, but is very rough as if only on a couple of cylinders,
tested all leads while cranking, with a plug, all fired bar two plugs,
ch36 on the ec36 is dead,
placed the wire from ch36 to ch35 changed config, all 8 plugs now firing,
have got no1 at tdc, with timing light,

have got the msq, config and dlog of trying to start, it does say on vems view when looking at the dlog trigger errors,
just wondered if someone could throw some light, but the ecu was the fault in the end, not sure what jago did but she is getting triggers now,

will upload the files in a few moments.

thanks guys,.

Here we go :-)

also when i did the config dload the tables.txt was empty.

[rob@vems.co.uk]

Oh... the tables files is what I needed to see - the trick is to leave the window open, tables will download and then close the download window.

it said at end avr says hello
that not the end then?

[Tony C]

im using 1.1.44 firmware too.

[Tony C]

also just looking at the audit log file,

i have this:

  WARNING(03): Value from option list "h2d2" = "INVALID" not found.
   WARNING(03): Value from option list "h2d6" = "INVALID" not found.
   WARNING(03): Value from option list "boost_conf_pwm" = "INVALID" not found.
   WARNING(03): Value from option list "launch_out_conf_speed" = "INVALID" not found.

Warning Details
---------------

   WARNING(03) means that the value expressed in the file for the
               constant was not found one of the options listed in the
               current configuration.  The constant was not altered, so
               you probably want to look more closely at this one and
               see what caused the mismatch.

i changed like i said ch36 to ch35 as no spark was on two leads on same coil pack, (cylinders 8 and 5)

[Tony C]

fink i found the problem,
on h2 table ignition outputs i got two settings blank, doing a screen print.
would this be the trigger errors?

Just an update, and hopefully Dave (dnb) will update whats been done,

But Dave has the ecu running on his test bed now, was a R30 ressistor on the board that should of been removed when it was converted to VR from Hall triggering.

[Tony C]

A BIG thank you to Dave,
He popped in on his trip over here today to drop the ecu off and endded up working on the capri with me,
after a bit of tinkering the car is running,
and sounds awsome,
He is a top man cheers mate,

we did have a prob of the trigger wires needed swapping again,
and the map sensor pipe had come off the ecu and made her run mega rich and on half the cylinders
but after that was refitted it was well sweet.

[dnb]

To be fair, it was at least 5 cylinders - slightly more than half

Looking forward to seeing the tuned version now
