Microsquirt repair needed who to send to?

I had the option+ hooked up for my tach signal and was told to ground the option- because there was no clarity at that time what to do with it. Well i had a problem where it lost tach signal after 8hrs of no stop running. Fuel pump would cycle with a flip of the switch but not during cranking. Then ...

Re: Unable to load current code.

Latest update, my friend is able to load an old code like 2.33. When he tries to load the new 2.890 he gets an error. He used the ms-ii embedded code page for the 2.890 file. I tried that one and the one in the new down loader. I'll see if he can get a screen shot. I'll have him get the new down ...

Re: Unable to load current code.

Wish i would thought of taking a screen shot. My friend is swapping back to a carb for last race. I had connection until i tried to load new code. Even tried hooking it up to my desktop, turned of every printer port etc. I did finally find the new downloader, which is great. The first time i tried ...

Unable to load current code.

Working on a friends new US install and his laptop has usb adapter and wouldn't connect. So i downloaded the latest package from DIY on mine so i would have the newer files. Tried it and it connected but i didn't have the right ini file. So figured we should just load the 2.890 in his US. Couldn't ...

Re: tach signal ?

I used the option+ pin 30 too the tach signal and the option- pin 31 grounded. That worked well for maybe 1 1/2 hours then no signal. Then i installed a diode inline on the option+ and that fixed it.

Re: Was running but no rpm signal now?

After hours of research i decided to build my own tach adapter. Didn't help. I read about putting a 50v 1a diode inline with the tach signal wire. Success that fixed my problem. Why it worked with out it at first i don't know and don't really care. I found the info on the MSII board assembly guide ...

Re: Was running but no rpm signal now?

I tried using the vr sensor no luck there. Then i thought why not just put a stock dist back in. Hooked it up checked signal with test light looked good. Still shows no rpm and will not turn on fuel pump. The pump cycles like it should when you first turn the switch on. I can't imagine the signal ...

Re: Was running but no rpm signal now?

Unless something happened to the Msd tach adapter. Appears to be working ok. I don't have access to another one other then spending $50 and ordering it. To use the vr do i need to change anything in megatune setup? Was running stalled then thats it. It's a nightmare to remove my MS and open it up ...

Re: Was running but no rpm signal now?

I think its a vr sensor,. I can check later and find out. I don't want control the ignition right now with the MS. Can i use that for the rpm signal? If so i will try that. There is a tach hookup on the side of the MSD 6al box. Which sends a crazy signal that most tachs must use the tach adapter to ...
