It must be that time of year....

You know, 4th of July and all that.... 'cause I blew the muffler off my car.

I was trying to get MegaSquirt tuned well enough to start it. Needless to say after a month of dicking around, I'm getting tired of futzing with MegaSquirt.

Seriously, I'm stumped and rather frustrated at this point as I'm going to miss the local 924 gathering at the Portland Historic Races. The only comment I've gotten from the MSextra board after looking at my datalog is about the lack of vacuum, which is so helpful to an engine running Alpha_N (especially as it is running large ITB's).

At least the neighbors around me were firing off M80's so my little explosion didn't seem to cause any concern among the neighbors on my street. Still, without a muffler, no more tuning until I get it replaced :(

Which MS are you running? On the Miata I had a problem with the firmware on my MS-IIe not "remembering" the static timing number I put in - you know, where you futz around a bunch with the timing light and the computer to get the MS and engine to agree on what is TDC?

If you're using a toothed wheel, this may not be an issue, just throwing stuff out there, see what sticks.

Ms1/Extra with EDIS4.

SAW is still disconnected so it is locked at 10 degrees static.

So far the unit itself seems pretty responsive to my settings, I'm just useless at the settings apparently :(
