Default Diypnp no rpm,no start and frying coils







1995 Miata M edition home brew sr20 t25 turbo setup built a diypnp 76 pin ecu meticulously wentover the board and loaded firmware off diys website put all the jumpers and whatnot in snd I cannot get an rpm for the life of me the car ran fine just lean with the stock ecu I don't know what I did wrong but loaded a start up map off their site and double checked the ignition setting burnt the first coils out and just burnt the second ones like smoke coming off of them I'm pulling my hair out I thought this would be fun. Any info would be greatly appreciated

Did you load the firmware onto the board when it was installed in the car? If so, that's a good way to fry the coils. Also, if you're using the air temperature sensor as opposed to the MAF, you will have to do a little wiring to get the fuel pump working.

you put a resistor where a diode should go. the idle valve flyback protection...

you need to remove r39.

you need U5 installed.

You have your INJ outputs going to both your injectors AND coils.



What directions are you following, because youre not being as meticulously as you think.

Loaded the wrong pic I have corrected the r39 u5 and pull up diode but did not notice the injector wiring thank you and no I didn't load firmware on the car.

Test the voltage on the spark outputs with the key on and engine off. It should be zero. Let me know what you measure.

I would try going to the diagnostics box and jumping Fuel pump FP and ground GND.

thats right, sorry, I just forgot the problem you were having. it's gotta be something on the board or the wiring harness.

Please post a composite log of an attempted start. This will tell us more about the no-RPM issue.

Also, remove R20 and R39, if you have not already done so.

Would you like the composit log before or after I remove r20?

After. No point in recording the composite log with a known assembly error.
