I have a '03 Miata that isn't starting. It cranks and i can smell fuel but no start. I am currently running no o2 as the narrowband sensor isn't hooked up. I have a lc-1 that I will get either tomorrow or monday.

I pulled a plugged and I didn't see the spark plugs sparking. The crank angle sensor is gapped to 0.040. I've never logged data before so i'm hoping what I uploaded for you guys to view is correctly done.

EDIT: After many attempts, it started ONCE but then died the moment i let off the gas...Now i'm back to it never starting again. Just cranks. I do see rpm in tuner studio (about 180rpm) during cranking.

Post#3 has newer info.

 

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

How can you crank an engine on a megasquirt if you don't have an oxygen sensor?

Hook up all the proper parts and then worry about trying to crank it.

 

I added the meat but I still don't have the pudding! Analogies aside, I attached the wideband and will posted 3 new composite logs after adding it + the current tune.

 

Bump, did more testing and figured out i'm running lean when I crank. AFR is at 17, not sure if this is normal for cranking (I know that 14.7 is ideal for idle/cruising).

 

Usually you are slightly rich for cranking

 

If that is the case, i'll pull out my injectors to see if they are both working and spraying fuel out correctly. Car still isn't starting and I do wannt drive it eventually.

 

Try bumping up your req_fuel value and/or adjusting idle ve.
I had a similar problem with my ms3x.
