Customized firmware updated to account (BMW std. Bosch double winding idle valve drive) code.
- Engine specs: MembersPage/BengtR
- Problem is that engine does not start.
- First of all. Thank you Marcell from time spent, succestions etc. Comments and thoughts are below. I will try these setting changes and report back.
- Could someone verify my trigger and cranking fuelling settings ?
- trigger specs are at ... ?
- They were measured (60-2 wheel dimensions, tooth width etc.) and calculated to some extent
- Engine in question has 6 cylinders, we fire injectors sequentially and drive ign.module/coil 6 times per two crank rotation.
- So it needs 3 events per crank rotation (another_trigger_tooth=20 -> 60 tooth/3 =20)
- Check that ignition channels are mapped according to sequence
- and don't forget h[2] goes from right to left.
- Good point, table vector/'zero'cell is the rightmost table value ? If so, then the h[0] table has error.
- Copied from below to ease reading...
- Injector channels h[0] masks
- Inj 1 EC36-7 / 01
- Inj 2 EC36-19 / 02
- Inj 3 EC36-8 / 04
- Inj 4 EC36-20 / 08
- Inj 5 EC36-9 / 10
- Inj 6 EC36-18 / 20
- h[0] set to order of (BMW M20B25 engine) firing (1 5 2 3 4 6).
- Note h[0] table is read "backwards"
- Yeah, above written but still hassled/unclear in a hurry.
- h[0] is now/was set like
- 6 4 3 2 5 1 X X'
- h[0]=20 08 04 02 10 01 40 80
- Which one of these is correct ?
- X X 6 4 3 2 5 1'
- h[0]=80 40 20 08 04 02 10 01
- We are using 'Ign00' (ie. 'I259_0') channel (at EC36-35) to drive one ignition module (Bosch 0 227 100 124 item)/single (TZI) coil, spark delivered via distributor.
- Need to change ignition settings 'as per injection' table ? ie. 'switch on' from 5 to 0 and h[2] table to xx, xx, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00
- Helps Genboard to retard correct cylinder ?
- do you get valid RPM?
- Yes, cranking rpm is quite constant around 200-250 1/min.
- do you get wheel-error ? W.. on LCD 2nd page (Man mlp01 mll)
- Didn't check that, but will check.
- how did you find the base timing ?
- Targeting 10 deg cranking advance, 'but it is just assumption', based on previous experience.
- Will recognize that we need 'timing light gun' to verify actual ignition advance angle (and adjust trigger angle setting to match) during cranking.
- 'Snap-on' has 'timing advance timing light' where angle is adjustable, albeit quite expensive... http://buy1.snapon.com/products/diagnostics/time_mt2661ap.asp
- Any ideas, how to measure (cost economically wice) actual spark angle during cranking ? After all measuring device is needed just 'once'.
- For first glance, config seems reasonable, except the offending output channels that are not disabled and colliding. There are several types of not starting. I assume that it does not revv higher than the 399 RPM cranking threshold. So if the basic wiring and config is OK, than cwl, cwh needs to be adjusted (more fuel) - or alternate changed to enable simultaneous injector firing during cranking. Can you smell fuel in the exhaust ?
- Fuel smells, but not strongly. Also checked that spark plugs are not fouled ie. they are quite dry. Will try to increase cwl and cwh little bit.
- Indeed at first, might be wice, to try with simpler injection phasing setting (3 to 2 banks for example).
- When cranked, engine fired couple of times so cranking revolutions increased to around 500 1/min, for short moment hence exceeding cranking threshold. Could this cause 'side effects' ?
- With starter (tested without ignition module and coil fuses) engine revolutions stays between 200-300 1/min.
- I suggest to check power (maybe some fuse is broken?)
- Checked that already, (fuses are ok, voltage does not drop badly during cranking is around 10-10.5 volt), before asking for help.
- fuel pump
- Constant fuel pressure 292-295 kPa.
- fuel injectors. With ECM off, unplug the injectors so you can measure in the connector. You can disable the fuel pump (it's a good idea anyway to have a physical switch; but it's disabled anyway after the configured 5 seconds of inactivity). You can try to fire the injectors with mdh.0 commands, eg. mdhd0 (h[0] element 5 on) and mdh50 (h[0] element 5 off) and measure with DVM (voltage that would go on the injector: should be 12V when on, <0.8V when off). See GenBoard/Manual/DigitalOut
- Checked that before asking, they energise when commanded/switched manually.
- ignition coil (there is only one coil, right?). Remove the coil if you play with mdh.2 commands (commands that end in 2 refer to the ignition channels), you don't want to blow the coil fuse (or fry the coil!)
- Yes, only one coil.
- check GND5, never hurts
- Plenty of ground = all EC36 and EC18 ground leads connected, impedance difference was measured and is just few milliohms.
- check Flyback as well, for each injector channels !
- Measured that too, is around 820 mV in all connected (injA to injF) injection channels.
- So summary this far.
- We should correct another_trigger_tooth setting.
- Should look also h2 table, apparently setting

- No I wasn't aware. Do you mean that advance (ie. timing value from ign. adv. lookup table) is retarded 'all the time' or just when knocking occurs ?
- If parameter retards 'just when knocking occurs', then parameter correctly understood, otherwise not.
- Meaning that we want/meant to retard 'immediately 2 degrees' if knocking occurs and if still knocks (when initially retarded 2 degrees) retard more as per 'knock_retard_step' setting.

- This was really interesting correction, thank you. Will try to change to 'ignchmax=05' and set h[2] table values like below.
- h[2] = xx, xx, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00

note: do you really want company address on the box ?
Packs that go to private address are less likely to be delayed at customs (appr 2% of packs To: <company add> are delayed a bit, it's said that 1% gets import-taxed, although we haven't experienced that yet, so far; maybe because we hand-write addresses and no value written on pack)
