No CAS input (no spark etc)
Hi everybody,
I was wondering if I could get some assistance with a issue I am having with my Megasquirt 2.
I recently got it upgraded from a MS1 to MS2 with a few extras like sequential fueling, launch control, boost control, switchable maps and light output.
I have just fitted it and with the test mode found I can get spark and I can get the injectors to fire plus the fuel pump works good as well.
The ECU knows when its cranking however I am getting no spark when cranking, I have taken a log and found my RPM goes from 0 - 200 (approx) while cranking.
From my research this indicates a CAS error and I do have a sync count and sync error.
I have 19 sync errors in the log below with the error reason being 39 which I have found is 4G63 - pattern does not match.
Below I have also included a composite log and a tooth log which I recorded on three different cranking attemps.
I also have it set to falling edge which I am pretty sure is correct and even if it was wrong I should still get spark so I really dont have a idea what the problem could be. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Before I upgrade can you confirm that this should fix it I dont wanna take a risk of messing anything up thats all.
very big thank you for your help so far though.

I don't know since I didn't build the ECU my self I sent my MS1 which was built by a unknown to Phil at ExtraEFI.co.uk
He upgraded it to a MS2 with a MS2X card since I got sequentially fueling, launch, boost, switchable maps and a programmable output added all on the 15 pin options plug.
He also said he fixed a few things as well as it didn't look that great inside, I am going to go quickly upgrade my firmware to 3.4.4 so I have the flip polarity setting and take another log with it inverted.
Hopefully thats all I need to start it since it is getting a signal its just not correct.

So I have upgraded to v3.4 restored my tune and inverted the polairty but it still wont start.
This is my pattern with the polarity inverted as you can see its still not right. (log attached)
I got my friend Alex to take a log of his signal pattern and I am guessing this is what mine needs to look like.
I also attached my current tune just incase it makes a differents, its not set for my injector size yet but that does not matter I'm guessing for the meanwhile til I actually get it trying to start.

there's a change between ms1 and ms2 between the polarity requirements of the signals. I assumed the latest firmware made it so it didnt matter and you could change the cam polarity in relation to the crank in software. I really have only just seen the option and havent read on it.
otherwise when I was upgrading ms1 to ms2 in the past I was making modifications to the mods on the board itself. i was trying to prevent you from having to solder if it wasnt necessary.

I have emailed Phil with the same information and hopefully he can confirm exactly what has happened.

Okay I got 4 logs all with different settings.
Attached is 1 log with the settings Falling edge with polarity normal
Another is Rising edge with polarity normal
third is Falling edge with polarity inverted
and lastly Rising edge with polarity inverted
Once again thank you for helping me try to figuire this out.
Just incase your at work etc and havnt got Megalog viewer to hand here are some pictures:
Falling edge, cam normal
Rising edge, cam normal
Falling edge, cam inverted
Rising edge, cam inverted.
