#134459, "Help with tuning Megasquirt II"


          

I dropped my car off to the tuner to get my megasquirt installed and he is having trouble. Does anyone know who he can call to get a little help with it? From what I understand the car is dumping way too much fuel at idle and is fouling out the spark plugs. I am not familiar with the program and don't know who to call. I called another tuning shop that was familiar with megasquirt and the man that knew the program doesn't work there anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

Kind of hard to tell you anything without seeing a log of what's going on.

Post your tuning file, log file, and all specs of the MegaSquirt hardware and the engine.

Your "tuner" should probably create an account on the megasquirt message board and ask his questions there:

http://www.msextra.com/forums/index.php

There is a forum specifically for MSII Extra users. If the guy has never installed a Megasquirt, he will probably find that it is not profitable to invest the time in learning everything to properly tune your car and give it back to you with a lot of bugs left to work out. Good luck.

I really hope that isn't what happens, and he gets it running. I am not close to the car, so I can't get the logs. The owner of the shop said he was having problems even pulling a log for some reason. Now he is on vacation till Tuesday, and then he leaves again on Friday. I want to just go pick up my car and bring it home, but that really doesn't do me any good either if I can't find someone to tune it.

Well, I picked up the car...towed it home. When I got it here I downloaded the newest firmware, and tuner studio ms. The car would fire and run for about 3 seconds before. After installing the new firmware and tuner studio I get nothing. The car will crank, but it will not fire. Any help on basic set-up of tuner studio would be much appreciated. I called symtech labs today since they are less then a half hour away and they couldn't even give me anyone who installs and tunes the EMS kits. So I am really starting to second guess building this car, and installing this computer which everyone says is the best thing for our cars!

Mods for the car are:
Block bored .020 over
Eagle Rods
Wiesco Pistons
Head ported and polished by CI Motorsports stage 3
5 angle valve job
1mm oversized valves
crower springs and retainers
crower stage 3 cams
AEM adjustable cam gears
Gates timing belt
pt style lifters and rockers
ARP bolts all around
Turbonetics stage 2 t3/t4 turbo
Turbonetics wastgate and bov
rc 750cc injectors
aeromotive 1:1 rising rate fpr
Greddy Profec B boost controller
Megasquirt II extra built by symtech labs for the 420A eclipse, with wire harness
3" cat-back exhaust

If there is anything I missed that you may need to help me just let me know.

Read over the software manual for MegaSquirt II: http://msextra.com/doc/ms2extra/MS2-Extra_Conversion.htm

Also check out the wiki as it has all the pertinent links on the 420a application: http://www.2gnt.com/?d=Megasquirt_Resources_and_Information

Every setting has documentation - the MegaSquirt project is not guess work.

If you end up scrapping the project, I will take it off your hands for you heh.
