msextra upgrade

Post by myredporsche »

This my first post, I hope someone can help.
My ms2 v3 works perfectly on the b&g code but
When load msextra I can't get a tach signal from the stim
It won't start the engine....so I go back to b&g code and everything is fine again.
I have not tried tuning it yet as it has itb,s and need alpha n to start tuning
Any help appreciated cheers Phil.

Your tooth #1 angle won't be zero, not sure that would cause no rpm signal on the stim however. Can you take a tooth and trigger log (composite log) under Diagnostics and High Speed Loggers tab?

thanks elutionsdesign for taking time to look at my msq.

i am not using a crank trigger, just vr. i realise the stim has difficulty doing this

but it worked well with the b&g code.

i will jumper the ms for optical and try that, if i have to go down the ignition road

i will , but i wanted to get fuel right first.

thanks again for your help cheers phil

Msextra is now up and running..I just needed to select fuel only in ignition settings now the stim

Sends a good strong tach signal to the ms and the engine starts, now lots of fun tuning thanks

To all .... Phil.
