ok i downloaded the firmware and got everything taking,

however the fuel pump is not running, i can switch back to the stock ecu and build up some pressure but when i hook the MS3 back up it runs for a few seconds and dies with no pressure left in the lines?

Are you actually starting the car or just turning the key on? When you first turn the key to the on position it will prime the fuel pump for a few second then turn it off.

I'm having the same issues with mine as well, just waiting for brian's reply

Probably the most basic thing and not year related is to upload your logs and use test mode in TS for your injectors and spark.

What happens when you jump the fuel pump in the diagnostic box?

I'm assuming you did the necessary calibrations.

i do have spark and it is in time with the MS, at least while cranking.
i am not sure how to read the injector pulse width in the log, it appears the injectors are wide open the whole time i am cranking?

not having spark is troubling. same with the fuel pump.

log looks pretty good otherwise.


can you test fuel pump, injectors a-d, and spark a-b in the output test mode?

The setting on the spark is for wasted spark, but im running toyota cops.
