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.
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!

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