  3. Engine not starting. STIv4

    in Link G1

    Posted

    Im running the possum link G1.

    Car was running fine, almost 2 years now, until yesterday when it started to hesitate, then it died. I started the engine back on, with a rough idle, and it died again. Now it won't start at all.  Here more details :

     

    - I have fuel and injectors are firing

    -I have sparks on each plugs

    -I have a good TPS readin

    -I have a good MAP reading (engine off)

    -I tried starting with the MAF unplugged

    -I tried with O2 unplugged

    -I checked all ground,and 12V on the ECU pins

    -When you crank it, it will sometimes ignite and I can hear its trying hard to start.

    -I removed my spark plugs, and they are all flooded with gaz from trying to crank the engine.. so gaz is going in 4 cylinders

     

    Could it the cam position sensor or the crank position sensor? With my OEM ecu I was able to pull the DTC from the ECU with the check engine light. Now how can I see the DTCs? I tried with my laptop, i dont see where. I tried with the in-car link display, I go to screen "error: xxx"  showing nothing..

     

    What am missing here ? Any idea? Your help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks

  6. Settings not storing

    in Link G1

    As long as I dont turn off the ignition key off, the settings remain. Correct me if Im wrong here: To STORE the settings, its basic flash to EPROM right ? (Electrical Programable Read Only Memory) So it needs a certain amount of electrical power to write on the EPROM. You might be right about the grounds. I will go buy 20 feet of 2.0Sq/mm wire and will re-run all 4 grounds to the engine block. MAybe I have poor grounds and its not generating enough power to write to the EPROM? Its still odd as why it keeps the settings.. meaning it stored it somewhere, but goes away when ignition key is turned off. Anyway, I will try the grounds. Here is something interesting at the bottom of the page: http://www.linkecu.com/support/documentation/g1-engine-management-documentation/MY96Manual

    Hi, I have an STI V4 G1. I tried with the LCD display in the car, I tried with the laptop, and my settings are not kept when I turn the ignition key off. Do I need to connect any cable to have it like it will be in 'write mode' ? thanks
