Hello knastenrad, If that's the front side of your front pulley, then fine. If that's the back that faces your crankshaft, you can't mount it flush. There has to be enough clearance for the center of the VR sensor to point directly at the center of each tooth on the trigger wheel. And the VR sensor ...

Hi all, I've been reading a lot today and setting up my ignition map when I came accross this on a UK web site. This is what someone said about an ignition map for the MJLJ: "Once it's started a good trick to get a really good idle is to give some extra advance above and below your desired idle...

Hello All, It seems I'm one of the guys who has to do the 2 1n4004's and a zener diode setup to bring my tach back to life. I know this has been addressed before, but not in detail. I've seen the graphic that shows the diodes, but I'm still confused... Could someone "please" walk me throug...

Hello all, It's been a long time since I've posted here, because my project has involved my whole engine. My 1974 2002 BMW 2.0L engine now has modified 318i injection, MJLJ & a MegaSquirt. I fired her up yesterday for the first time since the rebuild, and the timing is way off. The MegaSquirt al...

Thanks Paratime,

I think I got it. The final test comes when I attach the battery and crank it. But first, way more wiring to do...

Hey Paratime, Thanks for posting. My firing order IS 1 3 4 2. After reading your post earlier today I looked closer at my coil pack, and I'm even more confused. The numbers on the coil pack's connectors don't correspond with either picture I posted. And, I can't get accurate ohm readings. Do me a fa...

Hi Brent, I haven't posted in a while because work and my MegaSquirt assy has kept me busy. I mounted my Accel coil pack in a convenient place, was going to attach the spark plug wires, and then noticed they hook up two different ways. The insert that came in the box with the coil pack looks like th...

Hey Paratime, Short answer, no. I found someone who has much more experience at PCB's than I do to help me out. I should know more in a couple of days. Once my error is found, I'll post it on here to help the next guy who has the same problem. Stay tuned... On a brighter note - I've been working on ...

Hi All, I still haven't found the cause of my board not communicating with my PC... :( I need a little help troubleshooting. It's not my com ports, they work fine. And the board is getting power. The two chips and the crystal have been oriented correctly from the start, voltage regulator is fine, th...

Hey Paratime, Thanks for posting guy. You brought up a number of things for me to check. I was SO confident that I had done everything by the numbers that I installed my board in it's case, and sealed it with silicone. I'll take it apart tomorrow and start looking it over carefully again. Thanks, Ba...

Disregard last post, I found the tach circuit .jpg. I'll get to that later once my controller is working correctly...

Barry

Hey Josh,

Where did you find the tach info on the the yahoo msg board?

Barry

Brent, I'm still having a problem with my board not responding, and Paratime has been the only person to answer my most recent post. My controller is plugged into com1 with a 6' DB9 cable with 12v supplied to it. I've downloaded & installed the Java com software and placed the files in their cor...

Hey Paratime, That's not the problem... :-( I've supplied 12v to it, same error. This is one for the group. Anyone with any ideas please feel free to jump right in! Barry 1974 2002 BMW wide body w/many mods... complete engine rebuild, f.i/turbo/MegaJolt & MegaSquirt conversions starting now! (=o...

H E L P!!!! My controller is all assembled correctly now. It passed its power on tests. It's plugged into Com1 port. I installed all of the JAVA comm software correctly. I was getting "can't open com port 1 error" until I moved the files to the right locations. That error msg is gone. Now ...
