On my 9a only cylinders 1+2 are firing, Ive swapped leads sparks plugs, checked fuel but 3+4 do not fire, compression is ok aswell. I rotated my dizzy around 180 degrees as said my RJ but still only 1+2 fire. WTF could it be. :angry:
-
what engine what managment
-
9a running ms1 v3 running a dizzy. The spark plugs in the non firing cylinders are clean, whilst 1+2 are black (rich map atm) swapped everything around but only 1+2 fire up. Thinking it can only be the dizzy or hall sender or no fuel getting into cylinders somehow. Fuels coming out of all the injectors.

simpels i bet thats in the settings
email me a copy of your MSQ and i'll have a quick look through it if you like
-
I hope it's simple! dont remember doing anything to ignition in ms, but could of without knowing! Pm me your email and i'll send a copy of it.
Cheers

If my map is asking for too much fuel than my injectors can give what would happen. Ive got normal abf injectors in atm which are like 220 cc aren't they. Which when put into required fuel says 15. Atm mine says 11 cant remember what size the ecu builder said I needed.
-
req fuel being wrong would just offset the values in the VE tabel.
so th values would ether be larger than they should be or smaller but it would behave the same on all four cylinders.
if it's only fireing on two cyls the problem is with ignition settings.
if you send an eml with the msq as an attachment to dannyp1595athotmaildotcom and put megasquirt as the subject i'll have a look when i get 5 mins
-
Ahh right ok, I may just change required fuel to what it should be to see if it makes a difference, well after if youve found anything wrong with the ignition. It is sent under megasquirt as asked.
Thanks
-
Right basically I haven't got fuel going to cylinders 3+4 as when I pull the wires going to them the engine note stays the same, then when one of either 1+2 is pulled, it stalls near enough.
But when I checked last all 4 inj where squirting! could something after the inj be blocked?
-
Oh and what does it mean if when starting my car it just makes a whizzing noise, as if the starter motor isnt attachted and just spinning. ..Starer motor :) Not so upset now
-
basic setting> engine constants 1.
try changing " squirts per engine cycel" from 1 to 4 it should like that a lot better
-
OK thanks mate, im going to get a new injector rail aswell, people seem to think my injectors could be knackered, as someone's giving me there map which is a 2.0l 16v and it's still the same. if someones got one with injectors and the plug let me know!
-
anothe rpossoblity that chould cause it to run really awfull is the ignition output you can set it to inverted or not depending on how you are driveing the coil, if it set to the wrong one you can get an engine to run but the actual point of ignition is nolonger really controlled so weird stuff can happen just try quickly swaping it over and see if it makes a massive inprovement
-
Ok thanks mate, awaiting my starter motor atm then I'll try that out.
