Jordie Posted April 28, 2024 Report Posted April 28, 2024 Using ecu test functions, both ignition and injectors test good, upon cranking/starting condition both appear to be off according to pc link. IAT seems to be faulty but tuner has that excluded from tune parameters anyway. Was running mint, as a daily for years, just turned it off one night, wouldn’t start the next day. Crank angle works. Spin it by hand and you can hear the injectors open. I am new to pc link but not new to this vehicle Quote
Vaughan Posted April 28, 2024 Report Posted April 28, 2024 Take a PC log of an attempted start and maybe a trigger scope and attach those here. To take a PC Log connect PCLink to the ECU, press F8 or click on the "PC Log = Off" box in the top right of PCLink, crank the engine, stop cranking, press F8 again or click the same box. Logging -> Save Log File. To take a trigger scope connect PCLink to the ECU, ECU Controls -> Trigger scope, crank the engine, click capture, keep cranking until a the scope shows up, save as log. To save basemap connect PCLink to ECU, File -> Save as. Quote
Jordie Posted April 30, 2024 Author Report Posted April 30, 2024 Champion mate, those are the kind of clear instructions I’m chasing thank you. I work away, I’ll do just that the moment I’m home. Thanks again Vaughan 1 Quote
Jordie Posted May 9, 2024 Author Report Posted May 9, 2024 log file 09-05.llg sorry mate, for whatever reason my saved trigger scopes just come up blank whenever not connected to ecu, had to use photos of them instead log file cranking.llg Quote
Jordie Posted May 9, 2024 Author Report Posted May 9, 2024 My log doesn’t seem to send either inj timing does seem to say 400btdc which doesn’t seem right but it was running fine, just won’t restart. Nothing tune related was changed Quote
Adamw Posted May 9, 2024 Report Posted May 9, 2024 The log shows injector pulse width and ignition dwell are being commanded. How did you determine there is no injection & spark? Quote
Jordie Posted May 9, 2024 Author Report Posted May 9, 2024 With coil removed and testing external of the head it’s certainly not producing spark unless under test conditions. Sorry I had written earlier that injectors weren’t operating but only while spinning the cas, I was mistaken I believe they’re fine. I’m focused on the spark I don’t have. Quote
Adamw Posted May 9, 2024 Report Posted May 9, 2024 If the coils spark with ignition on when you spin the CAS, but not when you crank the engine, then that may suggest the coils are losing 12V when the ign switch is in the start position. Does it have the later series 2 coils with built-in ignitors or the early dumb coils? If dumb coils, does it have the factory ignitor wired in? Quote
