PM me your email address, I made one for my 1994 Mustang GT, using the factory A9L timing map

We're up and running now, I have a couple of small questions if you don't mind? The first is about the ignition table - is the timing table total advance including base timing or is it on top of the base timing? The second is regarding the Master Fuel setting - am I right in thinking that it's best to keep this number as low as possible whilst maintaining safe air/fuel ratio's so that there is maximum flexibility in the fuel table?

You can wire it in just like any other 5v analog sensor, the important thing to determine would be whether it has the appropriate sensitivity for its intended purpose.

Cool, that ticks another box then - thanks for taking the time to reply

I currently have them paired with the banks of the 302w: Firing Order: 13726548 Bank1 - 1,7,6,4 Bank2 - 3,2,5,8 Inj1 - 1,7 Inj2 - 6,4 Inj3 - 3,2 Inj4 - 5,8 I haven't wrapped the harness yet so it's not a big deal changing things around.

Cheers for that, I've plumbed the eight injectors to run off the four drives and am building up a basemap to get the thing started but I have a question - Given that it's TFI so only have a single trigger, As far as the Injection Mode goes am I right in thinking that I should set the Injection Mode to Multi Point Group and the Injection rate to 1/2 cycle so that the first two drives pulse on the first 360 degrees and the second two pulse on the next rotation?

What sort of car?

Group firing it is then :-) So for the pairings, would I follow the spark order?, ie: Inj1 1,3 Inj2 7,2 Inj3 6,5 Inj4 4,8

Whilst we use a Acer tablet for our dash, yours should have similar options - we use the power saving options in ours, when running from battery the screen turns off after 30 seconds, when running from a power source the screen blanking is disabled. We also have the link software set to auto start when windows boots up. Probably not ideal for a roadgoing car, but we just power it up when we get to the track and shut it down at the end of the day.

Good evening all, Am contemplating doing something daft with my MX5 which has a Plugin G4+ which will involve eight fuel injectors (Can you guess?), are the pins for the Aux Injectors mapped onto the factory MX5 pins at all? Also, does anyone have a startup map for a TFI Ignition Ford 302w V8?

Just open any .pclr file in pclink, go to layout and start from there.

In the PCLink manual it says: 84 Aux 9/10 Driver Fault Over-Current/Over-Temperature warning from the electronic Throttle Control hardware contained inside the ECU. This is most likely caused by excessive current draw on the Aux 9/10 channels.

This thread has caught my interest, I've been looking at Windows tablets out there but only a few have full size USB ports, and many charge from the USB port as well which makes long term use challenging - Are there any well priced tablets out there that fit the bill?

I have a daft question, when calculating fuel consumption per revolution (assuming 100% VE) if the stoichiometric ratio is 14.7:1 does that mean that the total mass of fuel and air per cycle would be 15.7 parts total?

Thanks for that Adam, it can stay open then :-)

You've been looking for 18 months? If your ECU is able to be upgraded to the latest firmware, it comes with a base map for the ST185 from memory.

I'm just finishing the prep to install a MX5Link G4+ into a 1.6 NA MX5 of ours, I see on the PCB is a open jumper labelled 'MX5 1800' - Does anyone know what the purpose of this jumper is? I'm not after any replies that say 'You have a 1600 so don't worry about it' as I have configured my harness to use aspects from both the 1600 and 1800 systems and if closing the jumper enables those things, it'd be handy to know. :-)

Sounds like you need to do some logging, get a data set of the car when it's playing nice and one when it's acting up, that should help point you in the right direction. How is the boost being controlled?

Long story short, we bought a 1991 1.6L MX5 because it was really cheap, then Links June special meant we bought a MX5Link G4+ plugin, because it was really cheap, now I'm putting the two together. The factory TPS needs to be replaced as it's non-variable, the OEM one has two feeds, +5v and +12v which are fed to the ECU at Idle and WOT respectively. Am I correct in thinking that the +12v is now redundant?, also the idle switch on the variable TPS I'm using as the TPS uses AN Volt 1 which is strictly a 0-5v input?
