1.1.44 alpha released

[Tony C]

will get one tomorrow,

[dnb]

I'd say the VE map is too lean at high(ish) kPa and low RPM or the TPS vs MAT compensation is not big enough when the car starts to heatsoak at idle.

I've had both of the above in the past...

[Tony C]

Might be 1.1.65 now.  How's the oil issue progressing?  I doubt I'll be too long before I'm on the mainland.

Well we wont be looking at mine for a while mate,
the engine has to come back out, we are hoping to do the work and back in over a long weekend,
when you on the main land?
as may wait till you have been or will do it before your over here.

[Tony C]

got a big problem guys,
drove the car for the last time last weekend before the engine comes out (today). drove fine except for the odd rich idle as posted previous,

went to start today no go, it coughed a few times but stinks of fuel,
uploaded the msq again just in case still the same, changed the plugs still the same,
i have noticed though that while cranking somes times the PW goes to 0 and stays there until you turn ignition off then back on and crank again,
any ideas,
have a dlog here which will upload shortly,
I have a workshop booked for today (taken 2 months to get this slot for this weekend) and now the car wont start.

Something wrong with your MAP value?

[Tony C]

not sure mate,
nothing has changed on the car from driving it last weekend and parking it up in the garage and trying to start it today,
I even uploaded the msq file from the laptop thats on the ecu incase something had spooked it, but still no go,
Im getting a crank signal as the rpm gauge on Mt is reading 150-200rpm while cranking.

[dnb]

MAP signal is very wrong - this would cause a complete lack of fuel for starting.
Maybe the signal hose is blocked with oil?

[Tony C]

nope checked that tonight after sambas post hose is clear,
I did post a while back that the kpa at idle was doing strange things if you can remember, was pulsing up and down,
could the map sensor be playing up?

[Tony C]

just rigged the ecu up in doors to the pc,
should the kpa be reading 100kpa with no engine running?
if so im only getting 14-15kpa :-(

[lost]

at least you found problem. ;D

[Tony C]

i gather its a dead map sensor then???

[dnb]

Or config corruption - there are scale parameters for the MAP sensor.

[Tony C]

Hi Dave,
why would it be ok last weekend but not this weekend?
and still the same after uploading the msq and config?

im willing to try anything, but its getting to be a pain now,

moved this map sensor topic to here now as its nowt to do with this topic:
