SpoonzAU Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I very recently became the proud owner of an AltezzaLink earlier this week, and last night I thought I'd have a a go at installing it and getting it running! I'm not a tuner even in the slightest but I followed the instructions of updating firmware, calibrating the internal MAP and the TPS (took me a few goes ) and I couldn't get the car to kick over! I just want to get it running to take to the tuner. I have a 1st gen Altezza with a completely 99% engine (it has the Nology Hotwire kit), and all the fuel gauge, ambient temp sensor and everything worked fine. Corresponding with my good friend MGTezza, I tried his old map with no luck, and the map supplied with the software with no luck again, calibrating the MAP, TPS and changing the fuel equation to traditional mode. Swapping back to the original ECU and the car started immediately. I've had a look at the base map this morning (I'm not with the car unfortunately) and have adjusted the Fuel equation to traditional (base MAP comes with modelled fuel mode with "1000cc" injectors) and I'm just wondering if anyone can have a comb over and see if maybe I'm missing something? I have attached it to this post. I'll be having another go either this afternoon or this weekend. Thanks! SXE10 TRAD FUEL SETUP.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 can you also post a log of you trying to start it? I suspect fuelling as that fuel map is pretty messy. Its closer to a modelled fuel map than traditional mode, but its probably a long way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Put it back to modeled mode and just change the injector size to match whatever you have. Altezza's need to be tuned in modeled mode for the dash to work properly. Was that map actually loaded into your ECU? All the analog inputs are in error condition. Please do as CJ says and give us a log of it cranking. How to Log: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P1LRANeO4A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonzAU Posted September 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 So I have the base tune from my mate's software, still wouldn't start. Here's the log and the tune. sxe10 trad fuel no start.llg sxe10 traditional fuel.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonzAU Posted September 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Did a quick setup for modelled fuel, same story. There must be something big I'm missing? Is the built in MAP sensor enough, or should I be hooking up the tubes? I'm sorry to be such a pain :( sxe10 modelled fuel no start.llg sxe10 modelled fuel.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Did you not notice this warning that pops up in the middle of the screen every time you connect the ECU? Your ECU is locked. You need to get the unlock code off the dealer you purchased it off before it will run an engine. 11 minutes ago, SpoonzAU said: Is the built in MAP sensor enough, or should I be hooking up the tubes? Of course the MAP sensor does need to be connected to the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonzAU Posted September 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Ahhhh damn, I thought he said it was good to run, but I'll need a tune, this is embarrassing I shall call him on Monday, and visit the autoparts store when they're open, might pay to try doing this during retail hours lol. Thanks for the help, I shall report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
