    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    So, I will try to adjust the tune by small increments as I would like to try to drive the car and see if it runs properly... Right now, I've enabled the "include AFRtarget" under the General Settings but haven't tried to run it yet. Should I also adjust the injectors' dead time as per this post...

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    Sorry guys, long time no see, been busy with work, life and got myself a 2015 Ecoboost Premium a couple of months ago so not really wanted to work on my old junk :D Anyway, today was the day I made it run! I remembered that when putting the engine back together, I had to fight with the...

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    Ok new data log, the car did stay idling a little bit more, I started the data log way too late.... I confirm the ECT sensor works, it was at 29.4K ohms after idling two times in the garage (it's really cold down there) The only that changed in my tune is the MAT/CLT compensation table And I...

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    One thing to note: I forgot that I've removed the MAT/CLT correction table provided by @a91what so that might be the problem... I'll try to add it again to my tune and see if it changes something

    Resistance measured to the sensor indicates 63k ohms, ambiant temperature unknown but pretty cold in my garage

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    Interesting :chin How can I check if my sensor is still good (it's brand new)? I'll check on the forum because I think I remember seeing a post on how to check sensors and stuff

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    Anyone can help me at this point? I'll be off for 2 weeks but coming back next Saturday PM in between so I can test out something if needed

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    Well the Microsquirt is set to use tables so maybe all it needs now is a tune

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    You mean the timing? I'm 100% sure I was at TDC on the number 1 cylinder

    PWM Fan Control

    Wow Mike, that's a good find! Would that controller work with MicroSquirt and a Lincoln Mark 8 fan? The M8 fan is a single blade but dual speed. I have had the fan laying around for almost 6 years now, never had the time to install it as I want to install my 130 AMP alternator first.

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    Amazing, started the car, it shooted way up in the RPM but stayed idling for almost 1 minute.... maybe it's because it's a cold start after almost 2 weeks with the negative terminal out of the battery? Anyhow, here is my data log and my current tune, I've been abled to take picture of the seal...

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    Sorry for the late reply, I'm not always home. I was wondering if I could try something "redneck-style": put sealant around the back of the intake and see if that helps? If not then I take it apart... Or, I can hook up a boost gauge that I have laying around, to one of the vacuum port on the...

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    So, some news from Europe.... your tip did the trick to set the timing @a91what ! thanks a lot mate! I've checked that my dizzy pointer was correctly pointing to the #1 cylinder by rotating the engine to TDC once again, then restabbed the dizzy a little bit further clockwise to allow for more...

    MicroSquirt-Engine starts, impossible to maintain idle

    Ok guys, I'm stumped and it might probably be a stupid error on my part but... long story short: tried to redo the timing on my MicroSquirt equipped 302 after changing the head gaskets and removing my EGR. I've set my engine to TDC, stabbed in the distributor, made sure that the pointer was set...

    Steve's Megasquirt/tunerstudio Help Thread

    Hello everyone, long time no see! Well, I have been able to connect my MicroSquirt in my car LAST YEAR (already!) and was able to start it with the base tune after changing the injectors size to 24# and updating various parameters like the timing etc. I was able to drive around for 15 miles but...
