Summary of change:
'''This project is in a weird state'''. Do not experiment '''without a concept''' (the most likely outcome is wasted time and perhaps damage. Trying to get help by '''pointing to a wiring that apparently does not even match the connector type''' => unlikely that it could work this way. I purchased a '''2nd hand home-assembled PnP''' VEMS v3.3 and have installed it on my Mk1 VW Golf 2.0 ABF 16v Turbo. The former owner has written a lot of info about the assembly here: MembersPage/BasilDaham/CordobaSX * PNP means that (according to referred page) your frontplate has T68 main connector (non-factory assembled device). ** but this is '''inconsistent''' with the controller you sent in, which does '''NOT have T68 connector, but standard econoseal EC36+EC18'''. Can you take a photo of what you are doing (near the ECU connector) to clear the myst a bit ? The ECU mainboard was replaced with a brand new, and new mainboard tested in factory. Hopefully the new is not killed yet. '''PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CLAIM TO HAVE THE WIRING DETAILED''' on MembersPage/BasilDaham/CordobaSX , that is with '''T68 connector, BUT YOUR CONTROLLER HAS EC36+EC18''' connectors. '''This is a real showstopper, it prevents further investigation until it is clear for everyone involved what is going on, what the exact wiring is.''' '''Doing this puts the new mainboard to risk, not a good idea at all.''' '''DO NOT just point to a page that does not describe your setup, please. Write your own'''. Fine to start by copying parts, but make sure to only include the wires that you really have, and verified. Including the flyback and the 5 ground wires! The car runs wastespark Bosch VW coil (exact type or photo maybe?) with the factory ignitors removed. It uses a multitooth 60-2 trigger wheel, which is standard on this engine and located inside the engine on the crankshaft. '''The Seat Cordoba for sure using HALL, not VR sensor for the 60-2 ?''' * was the input jumper changed ? '''Trying a VR input setup inside the box, with a HALL sensor connected could give similar problem symptoms.''' ** MembersPage/BasilDaham/CordobaSX lists HALL, and we are trying a HALL sensor, but ... ** could be a good idea to doublecheck the blobs near the LM1815 (the one closer to atmega), to see which one is shorted ( GenBoard/Manual/InputTriggerHardWare and GenBoard/VerThree/Schematic ). (can be seen with removing endplate only, do not unclamp the device) * is the wheel the same ? * the HALL sensor output voltage is verified MembersPage/BasilDaham/CordobaSX/TriggerSetup When we first installed the computer, the car ran ok, but with a '''weak spark'''. After a few starts, the crank signal started to become intermittent: it would appear and then disappear and the car would run and then fail to run without the signal. '''Would be typical with insufficient grounding''', but we know little about wiring so hard to tell. Eventually, the RPM signal disappeared entirely and "trigger errors" showed up on Megatune. After checking all the grounds (all fine) and everything else, we decided it must be a hardware problem, so sent the ECU back to Hungary where said it showed signs of damage and replaced the board. '''THIS INSTALL IS NOT EVEN STARTED. THE claimed WIRING with T68 is inconsistent with the EC36 + EC18 you have.''' * with the new mainboard, first had no crank signal. * pulled harness out and '''remade all of the grounds''' to make entirely sure they were ok. After doing this and replacing the crank angle sensor (just to make extra sure) '''the RPM signal returned.''' * However, the ECU had come back with the 1.0.73 firmware installed and this resulted in no spark. ** Not being entirely sure how to fix it with all the config. stuff ** '''STOP. You should not start the engine'''. Please. No wiring details, no firmware and config uploaded. '''STOP experimenting''', start to detail the wiring, measure while you're doing this. Since this point, the RPM signal has become intermittent again: - It jumps to 250rpm under cranking and back to 0rpm all the time: signal, no signal, signal, no signal '''Suitable config not uploaded''' (you likely not have tooth_wheel=3A or number of tooth on wheel=58 in MT primary trigger settings) To untangle this, subsystems should be moved (deleted from this page) to their own subpages. Only leave uptodate info there. If writing any info that is old (eg. config dump read BEFORE the most recent firmware upgrade) : * MembersPage/StuFrench/TriggerSetup * MembersPage/StuFrench/InjOutputs * MembersPage/StuFrench/IgnOutputs ---- '''Other history''' * there might be some internal trigger setup uncertainty, although it should theoretically be HALL, HALL * the controller was admittedly damaged due to bad install (missing flyback) earlier, but hopefully the wiring was fixed (was it?) ---- TRIGGER SETTINGS/INFO: Edge: Rising Type: Multitooth Filtering: Disabled Advanced filtering: Disabled Special N-1: Disabled Fiat Stilo: Disabled TDC after trigger: 60 '''Number of teeth on wheel: 58 ''' are you sure ? Trigger tooth: 3 Next trigger tooth: 30 Crank min period: 3744 usec Angular width of tooth: 2 Tooth relation Normal: 122 (irrelevant with multitooth advanced filter disabled) Tooth relation Missing: 181 (irrelevant with multitooth advanced filter disabled) Angular width of missing teeth: 6 Engine phase: 240 ---- '''HALL voltage verified OK''' turning the engine over by hand - it seems perfect: * 3.5V * pulled consistently down to 0.05V at each tooth. ---- CRANK SENSOR WIRING: * EC36pin28 for 5v supply * EC36pin27 for signal * Sensor ground to EC36pin26 ---- I AM CONVINCED THIS MUST BE A '''CONFIG PROBLEM''' * the crank sensor is performing fine and the car HAS run before. * '''important''': When I first got the car running upon installing the VEMS and harness, I opened Megatune using '''Megasquirt version of the program, and clicked 'ok' when it warned that table corruption may occur. The car has never run properly since this point in time.''' ** likely you just need to upload the config and tables, it's absolutely pointless to experiment with a '''KNOWN TRASHED config''' * to verify, dump with TerminalProgram mcd / mct, ** or more userfriendly upload tool: recent [http://www.vems.hu/download/v3gui/ vemstune] to download config (you can also upload with it as well) * than compare to your known good config.txt * At this stage, this is my saved config.txt for 1.0.73Final ** what is "this" stage ? Is it dumped when the engine was working or after the whole config was THRASHED ? * Tables can be checked against MembersPage/BasilDaham/CordobaSX info primep=0A primep_temp_scaling=00 cwl=46 cwh=10
