NODIZ ecu car not running?
So, I've been running my car on factory ford esc management for the time being and despite some misfiring on idle/sticky rev issues it ran okay.
Soon as it was driven the car went pretty well, I have today however wired up my Nodiz Pro ecu and it now runs like a bag of spanners. Pretty much any
throttle input kills the car, I connected the tps and calibrated to see if this would help but it hasn't. The Motorsport electronics page gives
a full guide to setting it up but one issue I've found is I can't alter the trigger wheel setting on the ecu and wondering if this is the
issue I'm having. The Nodiz ecu seems to be sparking at half time than the old Ford esc stuff was and I'm wondering if that's maybe
because its set to the wrong trigger wheel? Anyone else had issues like this before?

Give the boys at Motorsports Electronics ring in the morning. I have always found them very supportive.
I run a Nodiz on my 1800 Zetec on carb's.
It not only worked straight out of the box but also raced strait out of the box, the map was that good.
It was a 4 hour race at Snetterton that I completed with a mate who was running a ST170, also running faultlessly on an 'out of the box'
Nodiz.

Hi,
Are you using a trigger wheel or the standard Crank sensor? it should be set 90 before TDC sounds like its set 90 after like I did with mine there
fore it was 180 degree out. I was able to start again a re position the trigger wheel.
Regards Jon

They indeed do work out the box - the trigger change mode was added to the manual and only works on NODIZ delivered in the last 2 weeks....
If you like we can have it back under RMA to test? Please use a support ticket or phone to contact us as we do not often check forums! (And may not
reply on here again if we miss it!)
Thanks

I'm still using standard Ford flywheel and crank sensor, but it seems to be firing at about half time as opposed to the standard esc stuff hence
my thinking that the trigger setting is incorrect. Does this sound like symptoms of incorrect trigger setting or would it simply not run at all if
this being the case?

Are you getting spark to all four plugs, the coil pack fires two at a time so if one connection is lost it will be running on two cylinders, or are
the two coil pack wires crossed? Just a thought.

Yes I am, but as I said they are firing at about half the speed the standard esc was firing them. Leads are untouched and was running spot on with
esc. It's as if the ecu wont fire the spark fast enough when throttle, fuel and air are applied and thus floods the engine to stall.

That's what I thought, I'd imagine it would run on vauxhall trigger setting but never run right, is the only way to alter the trigger
setting through the motorsport electronics software do you know?
