Link Keypad?
After the better part of a year, Junior now has the MSM turbo in and running in my 96 M. I've had a Link ECU for some time, so we're now fiddling with settings to optimize fuel map. Car runs - reliably - but need to reduce fuel flow a bit to remove billowing clouds of smoke when started from cold. We know smoke isn't oil or coolant. Seems to be super-rich mixture that we're trying to fix.
ECU keypad is - "wonky". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We've got a notebook, and have had intermittent success with it. My confidence in tuning this, frankly, is not high - I'd really rather prefer NOT grenading the engine. Is a wonky keypad a typical Link issue? I'd really rather not have to try to either build (megasquirt) or buy (Hydra) another ECU...but don't want an overly-inquisitive cop pulling me over and citing me for an emissions violation (which, where I live, will trigger an emissions test that I can't pass with an aftermarket ECU). Thanks! Bruce MacKay Turbo Rookie |
More than likely the ribbon cable needs to be replaced.

thanks!
Am I correct in assuming that replacing the ribbon cable is something a computer repair shop could handle?
Links are now...well..."last-generation", and getting a Serial Link to be able to talk to my netbook took months (not to mention the cost from NZ to here). Thanks again! Bruce |
I've replaced mine using some computer ribbon cable and connectors purchased online. It was $10 delivered. I can't recall exactly which cable connectors, but got the into from miata.net with a search.
