Car runs for 1 second and dies

I am running a MS2 version 3.0 and have the edis 4 setup on a 4 cylinder. The injectors are 450cc low resistance injecotrs. The fuel pump runs constantly so i have fuel. The car starts up and runs smoothly until about 1000 rpm or one second after it starts and then just dies. I noticed that all of a sudden my timing map was all zeros, so i reloaded my previous map and still no change. I cant figure this out so if anybody has any suggestions please let me know.

Posting your settings (File->SaveAs in Megatune) and a datalog are needed before we can help. Use the Add Attachement when posting.

sorry here are the files. There probably is something messed up in the tune file, but the weird thing is that two days ago, i turned on and ran fine but was late so i didnt tune it that night. Next day i went to start it and it ran for a second and died. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Let me know if you figure it out, I have a similar setup and a similar problem. Mine dies after 3 seconds.

Thanks,

Phil

I got it to run again all i did was reflash the firmware to the megasquirt and ran from the map that came with the firmware, then fine tuned it from there. Hope that helps solve your problem
