3132, MSnS datalog mode?
Posted by cbrdsm, Apr-17-07 03:35 AM
I'm running an MSnS with 72lb injectors which is giving me cel codes. At the moment I'm only running fuel. Unfortunately I need to get an emissions inspection. In Missouri they just check for cel codes on OBDII vehicles (which mine is, '97). So, I'm swapping my stock injectors back in and letting the stock ECU control them. My question is, can I leave the Megasquirt running without the injectors connected without burning up the MSnS? I'm hoping to datalog the car running on stock injectors so that when I put my larger injectors back in I can create an "emissions" tune based off of these datalogs that will hopefully keep the cel's under control for testing purposes. I don't know what version of software I'm using off hand, not sure it matters. I can check this evening if need be. Thanks for the help.

you must put the stock injectors in and let the stock ecu control them. this also applies to all emissions equip. Welcome to the wonderful world of emissions

Terry,
I realize that, I just wanted to know if I would run into any problems if I had the Megasquirt running in the background pulling in data from the sensors. I didn't know if it would cause problems if the Megasquirt was running but not controlling anything.
