after Link MK1 install quirks
hey all
so i just installed a link mk1 with mk2 upgrades it runs fine and everything
however i have 2 problems right now
1 - on the screen "IDLE" where the * and n are supposed to be shown, i only get the *....trying to figure out how and why its not there...it says in the manual the neutral switch isnt being read...i know there is one on the clutch, and one on the tranny....but neither are being read?
also the manual said it wont idle right or store without either the * and/or the n....but it idles and stores fine...should i be worried?
2 - when i rev out, any gear, when i hit 4000rpm i hit a CEL that stays solid until i get lower in the range....but it doesnt store so i cant check the code....anyone have any clues?
also remembered something small.....when i hit adjust up on the controller, it is supposed to show TEMP A and TEMP C....i only see TEMP C, where the hell is TEMP A?
car details: stock motor, just running the link as preparation to upgrade later

push the clutch in- do you get the *? yes - then it's just the trans, no - it's both
I wouldn't worry about the idle if you're happy. Make some changes, save and then shut down, repower and see if your changes are there. If they are, don't worry.
Not familiar with the CEL issue.
I don't run a keypad, I use an old palm 500 with the free plink software (linked in my sig). The advantages are numerous, but the disadvantage is it's hard to follow the FM manual when it references the keypad if you're just grasping the ecu tuning process.

My bad- the * is for the TPS. The N is for the clutch and neutral switches. If you don't get the N at all then neither switch appears to be working. Sounds like your tps is ok. In my experience the N causes an incredibly high idle- the car never enters idle control, so it's not regulating the idle valve. It usually causes stalling when the car is taken out of gear for coming to a stop... a droop prevention. If you don't have problems I wouldn't worry about it, but it may surface later when something else changes.

ok so i fixed the 4000 shift light thing, its labeled as AUX RPM in the controller, it was set at 3900 (?)
still no readin on the knock sensor but ill check connections tomorrow, when i check the neutral switches for conductivity
also still no TEMP A, can anyone advise me where to look?
also i cant find QINJ for wiring into sequential injector mode, i havent done the wiring on that yet so its ok, but still not visible
i think that my software is older than the manual maybe, mine says 4-26-2005, but the manual says 12-15-2005.. im not sure...i know in the instructions it says to access ZONEF mode and my controller says ZF....is that any indication?
thanks!

I'm not gonna be much help with the keypad. There's a reason I quit using it - it's incredibly cryptic when it doesn't need to be. Get a palm and a serial link, sell the keypad and make your life with the LINK simple. You'll need the serial link to tune anyway. I can't remember what version the latest is- you can check with FM. I'll post it here when I find out.

It could. The guy who wrote the software had his set up that way. It's just a matter of sending the 5v up the correct lead in the palm cable. I just never got around to it. Honestly the palm has never run out of juice on me, but I don't take the car on long drives either. But it's laid around the house for days without sitting on the charger and been used in the car multiple times w/o recharging. I guess that's why I never messed with it.
