I am reluctant to remove the intake manifold to check the injector connection, but I feel like its inevitable.

Which cylinders are wet? Is it wired for sequential fuel?

aidandj 10-10-2015 04:28 PM

Red line in composite log is lost sync events. So you get a couple while its grabbing sync. And then it stops because it syncs.

ryansmoneypit 10-10-2015 04:31 PM

No sequencial. I was trying to avoid fucking with too many things until it actually ran.
After more testing, here is what I have found.


Cyl.1- no spark- wet
Cyl. 2 weak spark-dry, brown
Cyl.3 lighting type spark- brown
Cyl.4 no spark, wet.

I don't understand. Is this good, bad or normal?

aidandj 10-10-2015 04:34 PM

Interesting. 1 and 4 are the same trigger from the ECU. 2 and 3 are different. Are you using output test mode to test the coils?

ryansmoneypit 10-10-2015 04:41 PM

Nope. I could figure out how to make it test. I set it up like it says, but the start test button never becomes available. Just grey. Don't even really understand what should happen. Directions a vague at best. Do I crank it, do I sit there and wait for a test to start?
Instead I just removed all of the plugs, grounded them and cranked.
Anything from efi analytics seems to just have microspheres of information. I emailed them about directions on how to use the mega log viewer, and they said that they never wrote any. Well that's nice.

Make a little video of how to do it.


Might be a bit for it to process

ryansmoneypit 10-10-2015 04:58 PM

Thanks man, I really appreciate the help. I really do. Ill try it later tonight. I have to take a break from this thing for an hour or two, Im really frustrated and need to get my head straight.

aidandj 10-10-2015 04:59 PM

Always a good idea. No use getting pissed off at it.

ryansmoneypit 10-10-2015 08:05 PM

Just wanted to throw out there, that if anyone is interested in my coil mount, I can provide a dxf file. It only cost me 40 bucks to have it cut.

Yes please

ryansmoneypit 10-10-2015 09:40 PM

Update..
Testing the coil trigger wires.
With the ignition on-
Brown =240 Mv.- this is the circuit that actually fires a coil
BROWN/YELLOW= 8 Mv.- this circuit will not fire a coil.

Ignition off=
NeAR zero for both.

What the fuck does this mean?

I'll get it monday. It's on my work computer. Don't tell.

ryansmoneypit 10-10-2015 10:30 PM

Holy fuck. It started! Bad connection at the crank/cam plug. Shit.

Well, it starts bit it doesn't run well at all. I don't know what to do, and am at the end of my rope. My wide band that worked fine six months ago, no longer reads correct. Calibration does nothing. I didnt change anything aboit it. There are so many new features on ms3 that I just don't know how to set up or use. I thought all of my ms2 knowledge would transfer over, but it just doesn't.

ryansmoneypit 10-11-2015 10:57 PM

I am now going to literally start all over. New project, new map, and start from step #1 in the ms3 guide.

Yeah, I tried this. My "start" button is non existing. It's there, but greed out. FOR EV VER. FOR EV VER. No combination of actions make it accessible.

aidandj 10-12-2015 10:11 AM

That's really odd. Same settings as I posted?
