MS3X no IAC - problem solved!
Can't get the IAC valve working on my '99.
I'm using the idle out (db37 pin 9) on the MS3X. Do I need to activate that output somewhere in TS? I built the 'normal' fidle circuit on the V3, thus Q20, Q4, R39 and D8. |
idle shoudl be set to "idle" not "fidle" iirc.
|
that's how I have it.
Forgot to add msq. |
Why did you build the 'normal' idle circuit if you're using the one on the MS3X?
|
Good question, that I asked myself as well. I did it because of this sentence in step 26 of the MS3 build manual:
ii) PWM Idle Valve: Note! This is not required with the MS3X card - use one of the mid-current outputs on the MS3X card for you idle valve and fit the standard components Q4, Q20, R39, D8. In the idle control menu, I selected Valve mode Normal, output port 'idle', 390Hz. Do I need to activate PP2-Idle under Output port settings as well? Other outputs work fine (tacho, fan, vics etc). |
Dammit someone PLEASE unblock Belgium. Surfing the board is one thing, but trying to get something posted is another.
/rant I don't need to add these jumpers, do I? a) JS0 to IAC1A b) JS1 to IAC1B c) JS2 to IAC2A d) JS3 to IAC2B |
No that's for a stepper motor.
|
if you're using the expander idle pin, just run that to your idle pin on the harness connector.
you have 12V power to the idle valve in addition to the above? i see your msq is set to pwm warmup and 390Hz on "idle" output. so that's ok. did you power cycle after setting these? |
Made a stupid mistake. The idle output was working all along, except that it's working in a completely different range. I did do the idle valve test, but never tried anything over 50% not to overrev the (cold) engine. I let it warm up today and raised duty some more and sure enough, the valve came to life :).
On my MS2, for 800rpm I needed about 20% duty. Now I need 60% duty. Under that, no reaction. Changing the valve freq doesn't seem to make a difference (nor noise). Closed loop doesn't yet want to cooperate, no matter what I do, the idle just hangs there, with the closed loop indicator on. Need to play with it some more. Seems there's a couple of new interesting things to play with, like VSS :). |
