I thought I'de just share this with you.
I've been a bit quiet last couple of days as I have had some serious issues with my MegaSquirt.
However I've just sorted it.
To cut a very very long story short since getting the engine to fire I have been totally unable to do bugger all else.
It would not run and just died immediatly.
I faffed asround for hours trying to sort out what the problem was...Nothing seemed to work... no timing advance... no injector pulse width... no O2 sensor... a big fat zip!
Eventually in desperation I decided to reload the .S19 config file and start again from scratch...
Guess what?
First turn of the key and the swine started...
I think the file must have become corrupted with all the fiddling I had been doing both with the stim and on the car.
I hope this is a cautionary tale for anyone else who's just built a system.
I think the moral of the story is that when you eventually get to put the system on the car (after playing on the stim) Reload the latest config file from the B & G site and go from there....
Just the tuning to do now then...
See you in about a month....

Mark,
I'm running standard code on MSII V3 with EDIS.
I might change it in the future ( if extra code is developed for MSII) but this seemed the easiest way to go to get the system running so I could get the car on the road for summer.
