Go file open, select an MSQ and it will ask you if you want to burn it to the ECU or not.Click yes

You will love the Megasquirt once you get over this hump. You just got off to a lumpy start.

I think you mean in MegaTune?

file/MSQ info/ window pops up 1-7 maps/close is the only option.

There are no msq's there to be selected it looks empty. :( Now what?

Any of the options to burn to the MS have a bunch of warnings and will not burn to the MS.

Your motor runs - right ? So there has to be an MSQ somewhere !!!

I don't understand what is going on with your stuff... could they be saved in another folder ?

Ok, this leads me to think that you don't have an MSQ or file to load.
Did you try the DIY web site ?
Did your MS come with a CD ?

No not running on the MS yet the MS is only wired to power untill I can get over the software BS. I need to drive this car everyday so I can't afford to have this MS BS breaking down on me.

I didn't see any downloads for a MSQ or basemap on their site.

No my MS did not come with a CD.

Do a search in this forum for MSQ. If you find one you need to make sure it is compatible with your ECU etc.

I found a couple. But it will not burn them. It says there are 12 or 7 warnings written into the audit file log. Whatever that is..... Then if I try to burn them it says cannot connect to controller. :(

You need to call or email DIY or find a local buddy Megasquirt expert. I've no clue what is going on with your stuff :vash:

Everyone has it all wrong. MS stands for MEGASHIT!

I already emailed DIYautotune..... No reply yet but it's not monday yet either. I should've bought an AEM EMS or something.

or Must not be Stupid to use it?

I think your very first and foremost issue is simply trying to figure out what com port your tuning cable resides on.

Errors when loading a MSQ file doesnt mean much, it could mean that your configurator is setup for kPa and the map is set for PSI, or another WB, or simple setting changes.


You need to start over from the beginning, your earlier post #21 suggests you have no firmware loaded.

And you'll never be able to load/connect if you cant figure out what com port you are using.

You also didn't get HR_10g loaded.


your next plan of action needs to be right clicking on My Computer, selecting Manage, selecting device manager, open the com ports section, and see what com port your cable is on. then post that here. If you cannot do that, you'll never get it. if you downloaded the mspnp installer, you can even go to Programs, Megasquirt, Port Checker, and see what ports it says are in use.

1. Comport 3, everything is set for comport 3 no problems there anymore.

2. Firmware is loaded.

3. HR_10g is loaded.


"Errors when loading a MSQ file doesnt mean much, it could mean that your configurator is setup for kPa and the map is set for PSI, or another WB, or simple setting changes."



Everything looks Ok but I don't know what else I should be looking for.


If it says it has 14 warnings I close that little window then it will popup 14 more times untill it finally goes away. But it never says what's wrong.

Are you sure you're connected? That sounds like the what happens when I try to burn an MSQ from my desktop to my car and MS that's out in the driveway. It doesn't say "page 1-13 could not connect to controller"?

Have patience. You'll get there.
Don't be shy about calling DIY they have great customer support.

if you have specifc questions email it to them.

Wouldn't it be easier and much more reliable to use a Apexi SAFC neo? I could just use an extra MAF from my nissan or pull a map sensor off a honda to use with it. Everyone in Phoenix can tune with those things. I'm now considering selling this Megasquirt btw.

yes it would.

It may be easier for you just because you are having trouble if you don't factor in the additional cost.

Did you contact DIY Auto tune for help with your issues or are you just relying on this forum?

I've been using this forum for almost all of the megasquirt info. It is the only place I have found that I can find out how to set it up for my car.

I will find out what they say tomorrow I hope.
