Default sequential fuel and the Jimstim

I built a new MS2 running 3.0.3r with sequential fuel.
Before plugging it in the car, I'm playing a bit with it on the Jimstim.
When I select untimed injection (thus, no sequential), everything works as advertised. That is, my 2 injection leds on the jimstim are blinking and the 2 pulse width dials in TS are moving.
However, when I select sequential injection, the 2 leds on the jimstim go dead and the pulse width dials in TS stop moving.
Is this normal operation?
Everything else seems to be working fine.

For sequential injection to work you need 2 timing inputs. 1 to show the crank position in degrees and one to indicate which cylinder is at tdc (cam sensor). You will need to emulate a cam position sensor on the jim stim, a simple divide by 2 t-flip flop circuit should do.

The JimStim includes a second trigger output by default. It is capable of accurately simulating both the NA and NB signals.

Sorry I can't help with the sequential problem. I probably should play with that on Albert's MS2 that we've got here at the house.

I agree, you should figure out MS2 sequential injection. Preferably using the '92 model year stock sensors. Then build me some additional injector driver circuits.

I know where there is good beer. And I will be coming to San Diego and El Toro this year, with lots of trailer room.

First, you need to cycle power after changing to sequential injection. Second, if you have selected the additional drivers, the JimStim injector LEDs won't light up until you reach 50% duty cycle. That's because the additional drivers are using the same 4 CPU pins but for 4 drivers instead of 2 with pins NANDed. (look at the schematics for clarifications)

So you need to use 4 of the ignition LEDs and connect them to the 4 injector drivers if you want to see the 4 injection drivers and their sequence.

Any settings highlighted in red require a power cycle to take effect
