Finally Got Comms With Ms Ecu

[pugpete1108 62 1 Cars]

after a bit of headscratching and some help from the boys on the ms forum i have managed to get my laptop to communicate with my ecu, it turns out it was a serial port related problem.

 

just got a whole heap of reading to do now to try and get the engine actually started

 

still there's light at the end of the very long dark tunnel

 

still put me in a good mood for once, so the family now longer has to suffer --- i'm sure it wont last.

Got mine from Phil @ ExtraEFI

 

I would have loved it if it started it up first turn of the key!

 

I was fiddling yesterday going through extraEFi info and using his base map turned it over a few times then turned the key again and it let out the biggest backfire ever which sh*t me up! I'm paranoid im gona damage the engine somehow!

 

I need help! I still have a few bits to finish off the conversion so i'm goin to conserntrate on those before I get stuck in MS again.

i was on the phone to james last night for about 2hrs and he does know his stuff.

 

if all goes well i will have her running begining of next week, i will let you know what probs i come up with.

 

surely a backfire is to be expected given its the first time trying to start it?

 

i got mine from phill too no offence to him but his after sales care isn't exactly top knotch

Sweet any tips will be a great help. The forum wont let me upload my megatune map so I can send it to James

 

Yeah it was a backfire like nothing I had ever heard, just turned the ignition on and it was like someone shoved a shotgun in my ear. The carbed Mi was very tame compared to this but different circumstances I suppose.

 

Completely agree with you about the aftersales from Phil, im sure he's a clever git but he didnt explain anything fully that I asked. Yes and No answers were common. Must be a busy man.

 

Good luck with yours

Maybe you could go on the MS forums and get a base map that someone else is running, there was a couple on there last time i checked

well the ecu is fine (james had it running on his motor) i now have fuel but not sure on spark, i've changed the coil and leads and am going to change the plugs too and see how i get on.

 

i would appear that he is a very busy man or just cant hold a conversation with anyone but your right i'm sure he knows his stuff and it does say D.I.Y on the box so what do we expect?
