The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview. While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
When I initially put my MS together I bought the Ford IAC kit from Jerry at DIYAutotune which consisted of a replacement Q4 and replacement R19. After my first start it was obvious the IAC wasn't functioning. My mulimeter showed Q4 had all legs with continuity to ground. So ...
Well that's bizarre. We apparently have two different manuals for the same piece of equipment! My page 14 is "Advanced Output Programming" Strange.
On the resistor issue I should have linked you to the thread here at msefi.com The information is not in the LC-1 manual but has been discussed here ...
I just did this myself. On page 10 of the LC-1 .pdf manual it states that output 2 (brown wire) is factory preset to output 1 to 2 volts so I foolishly assumed that output one (yellow wire) was preset to be 0 to 5 volts. Well it didn't work when I wired it up.
I just went through exactly what you are describing and tried everything you did with the same results.
In the end I found out it actually was reversed leads on the VR sensor. When I changed them the first time I cut the leads and instead of switching them simply soldered them back ...
Ahhhh, thanks for the insight estate agent! I didn't realize they needed vacuum to operate properly.
But more importantly I am a victim of not reading directions closely enough. The megamanual clearly states that PWM sensors must be set under the PWM dutycycle menu and NOT the Idle Control menu ...
I have MS-II, V3 main board, Megatune 2.25, and 2.35 embedded code, all hooked up to a relay board.
I bought the PWM kit from DIYAutotune which included a new Q4 and R19. I jumpered the relay as per the megamanual. Everything seems okay. When I power up the MS I get a a good ground on ...
