Have you used the Ignition Test function to confirm that the ECU is actually firing the spark plugs?

Thanks, finally set to -75 and got it to run after increasing fuel main slightly and resetting MAP to BAP. No MAP sensor as using ITBs and trying to get decent MAP is difficult.

Thanks Adam. Investigation showed the engine builder had fitted a Hall crank sensor instead of VR. Changing to a VR gave an immediate cough so now I just need to sort out the offset.

Just trying to get first start on a BMW M60 V8. We get a single pulse on the injectors with "Key On" but then nothing during cranking. All the injectors have been checked using Injector Test and appear to be operating correctly and in the correct order. The initial Key On pulse can be seen using a test lamp and also the injectors can be heard clicking. The base map has been created from a G4+ M60 base map from another M60. I have had a look through the Pre Crank and Cranking Prime tables and cannot see anything that may be inhibiting the operation. Map file attached Hope you can help.

Thanks again.

Thanks Adam, that works a treat. What had I missed?

Hope this is what you need. Aim don't seem to generate a single config file. cfg_20221103_155700.zip

I am currently trying to display gear position information from a 6 speed sequential gearbox through a G4X Storm running the latest firmware onto an Aim MS Strada 1.2 dash (Link race version). The dash is receiving and displaying the gear position information for 1 - 6 but not for Neutral and Reverse. Oddly though, it will momentarily display N when shifting between the gears. The dash has been configured to receive the ECU "Gear" information and appears to be doing that. On the Link, the runtime voltages match those measured when the gear position sensor was tested in the gearbox on the bench. The position information in the Gear Barrel Settings have been set to R(10) and N(11) respectively. Am I missing something? I noticed in a post on the G4+ forum that there were CAN settings required however those instructions do not seem to apply to the G4X. Thanks in advance E36 M60 Base Map V3-02 03-11-2022.pclx

Thanks Adam

Does anyone know if there is an off the shelf LTW to panel mounting USB connector so that the USB can be dash mounted for easier access. AIM have provided this on the programming cable for the MXS dash and we would like to replicate it for the Link if we can. I know that panel mounting back-to-back USB connectors are available but a one-off cable would be much neater. Thanks.

Thanks. Will have a look at it tomorrow.

BMW E36, 2 litre M52 running G4+ Storm. Config file attached. Owner ran into problems installing a new Link MXS dash and has asked me to help sort the problem. Dash powers up but there is no communication with the ECU. Initially found that he had read the B connector upside down so had the CAN connection to 7 & 8 instead of 27 & 28 however even after connecting correctly there is no communication. I tried looking at the CAN bus with a DVM/Scope but there was no sign of any signal on the bus. I am unsure if it is related but there is no 5 volts on pin 33 on the B connector but there is 5V on the A connector. BMW E36 Chris - 19 07 2021.pclr

Assuming that the original engine was an M50, the information I have shows pin 44 as the ground for engine intake air temperature, engine coolant temperature sensor and throttle position sensor. The ground wire for those sensors should run to that pin.

Thanks Adam. No vanos to worry about fortunately. This is not the engine that will be getting the Link so hopefully that one will be better.
