Let the stupid questions begin....

I finally got time to install my MS-II.

The car starts and runs with the map Joe loaded on my MS for testing.

Stupid question #1 Do I have to disconnect the ignitor on my 92 to burn a new .msq to the controller, or just when I flash the firmware?

More to follow...

Let me save you guys the hassle, so maybe you can save me some hassle

I know I should search
I know I should RTFM

and I know hustler is going to give me $%^*

Thanks in advance

when you flash and load your first MSQ. anytime after is fine to leave them connected.

Yup. The igniter needs to be unplugged anytime the power is on but the CPU is not operational, which principally occurs only during a re-flash of firmware, and which hopefully you won't need to be doing. The code I loaded on there should be good to go, and the only stuff you should need to change are the tables.

I created a fix for this problem after yours was sent out, but you can read about it (along with a full explanation of why the problem occurs) here: https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t33964/

BTW- congrats! The first time is always great.
