Help is easier to get if you upload MSQ and datalogs along with the description of your problem


BMW M3 E36

(previously tuned by DA motorsport)

NEW !

Engine running, no trigger errors, occasional missfire, very rough idle, BUT

At 2500rpm it just cuts the fuel, or spark (could not establish whitch one) and just dies (does not respond to gas pedal at all.

Today i upgraded it to 1.1.27 (dont know why) and started the config from the beginning, including the VE and Spark tables...

Now it manages to reach 3700rpm and again just drop dead.

[SOLVED] coil charging time was too long, shortened and engine now runs fine to the redline...

Also i have issues with terminal communication, could not manage to get "normal" respond to mll command, just some unrecognizable raw data )}}}}}@@@@ etc... [SOLVED] seems that terminal commands are case sensitive :(

NEW problem, after some tests with running engine, map sensor reading started to act funny, it reads 11kpa and if gas peddal pushed it reads 247kpa at WOT.

Did we fry something or it is just playing dead again ?

[solved] Alpha-N was active by mistake...

i am going to try with another v3.3 board, and 1.0.73 :)

[no need for that now]

Test drive ended with fried exhaust manifold gasket. but after several repeated 300km/h runs...

New problem is that engine would not rev over 2500rpm when it crashes, with anything else than 1ms in dwell time :( dont know the answer for that since the coils are standard m3 cop-s that require a little longer dwell...

firmware is still 1.1.27beta4 !

Engine:

... more to come

Genboard v3.3 1.1.26 firmware

etc

Thanks to Jason Voytilla for His msq file :) it helped me start it...
