Goin' Megasquirt (My progress thread)

Well I fiddled with ASE and cranking PW a little and with a shot of ether and new plugs she popped. I also redid my maps a little and most of the missing went away. I'm still going to try a new igniter.

Igniters either work or dont ... they are a transistor so there's little that can go wrong with them aside from complete failure.

Crap.... That's what I was afraid of. I'm hoping it's in the tune. I'm going to see if can find a O-scope and take a look at what's going on.

I'll have some new pix up tomorrow of my set up and stuff.

Yes it NEEDS to be cleaned. And I'm going to reroute the big red battery wire.

After spending all day a Sunday at work digin through catalogs I found a set of plug wires that work great. There not on in the pix. I also got the harness all loomed up and the launch control put wired in. I still have a few more mod to do but most of the hard work should be done. Thanks to everyone for all the help along the way.

I have no idea what model it is. I picked it up for $40 or something, dropped it of at a friends house along with a 6 pack and told him to make it work. I only use it for Megatune. I'm also trying to get it to work for Megalog but I'm missing java.

ummm ms goodness! how come you have a big tach in front of the stock one?

I have the tack there for 2 reasons. 1 the stock tach doesn't work right with the DIS and I'm to lazy to build the tach driver and 2 with the smaller wheel I can't see the higher Rs on the stock tach.
