  1. Attached is the corrected pcl file for the Subaru v7.

    Changes included:

    DI 2 pullup resistor changed from on to off
    Active edge changed from rising to falling
    Aux output 2 changed from /LH inlet to RH inlet

     

    With these changes the map works on the bench.

    You will need to check in the run times display (F12) under the VVT tab for more info on what the cam triggers are doing.

  2. Hi

    Do you happen to be running a display as well.

    If so make sure you unplug the display at the ECU before connecting with the PC.

    There is also a very good section in the help file on

    Solving Communication Problems just do a search for communication problems.

  3. First thing to check is that you have one of the later VL boards with the 4 way plug with the extra ignition outputs.

    For coil packs I like the early EVO ones but really they all work well and I would just see what is available.

    If the coils you pick don't have an igniter built in (not many do) you will require a 3 channel igniter.

    Again factory ones are often fine or we can supply.

  4. The complete electronic circuit used for ignition timing includes many delays. Signals must go through edge detection, filtering, microprocessor, ignition output circuitry, igniter circuitry and finally the coil. Each element introduces a small but significant delay (20 to 200 microseconds). In fact even the timing light used to view ignition angle has a built in delay. These delays are inherent in ALL engine managements systems and components.

    At low engine speeds the time between ignition firing events is large and the effects of delays are minimal. As engine speed increases the effects of delays becomes more of a problem ultimately resulting in a slight timing retard (usually only a few degrees). This retard can be easily seen by locking the ignition timing to a constant value and increasing RPM. This effect is often referred to as reluctor retard.

    The Ignition Delay setting provides compensation to offset circuit delays eliminating timing retard.

    The Ignition Delay setting is not designed to correct for other problems that may effect timing stability such as mechanical shifting of trigger sensor pickup wheels (due to cam belt stretch etc...).

    Setting Ignition Delay

    To set up Ignition Delay perform the following steps:

     

    1. Set Ignition Delay to 0
    2. Under Triggers, Calibration, Turn Lock to Reference to ON.
    3. Using a good quality timing light, increase RPM and observe ignition retard.
    4. Increase Ignition Delay and repeat step 3 until the retard is eliminated.
  5. Sorry about the slow responses it has been a very hectic time for us. Unfortunately we are not able to do all that you will require on that engine. We could do 2 of the 4 vanos cams and no e throttle.

  6. Assuming the sensor still had its 5V supply and a good ground and you are measuring .2 of a volt out of it, I would say this is the problem. I would try another map sensor.

    This won't however be related to the connection issues.
