4-4500 RPM sync loss- Already changed cap and diode

Post by jcbe34 »

So, to make a long story short, I've been battling sync loss ever since I installed megasquirt. At first it was multiple sporadic hiccups at high RPM's.. I tried messing with the noise filters, adding a 10k inline resistor (changed it but didn't fix it), and most recently changed out c32/C31 .001uF capacitor/D24 1n4148 diode.. Now my sync loss is severe, won't rev past 4500 or so. I am still quite green when it comes to megasquirt, so I'm really just looking for some suggestions, where should I be looking? My megasquirt is inside a stock motronic box and the wiring is not shielded from M55 to DB37.. Should I start there?

I went through the same thing with mine.I tried new shielded wire on the vr sender. The final fix was a different dizzy with a better vr signal.
good luck

Hmm.. Never heard of that, but I suppose it makes sense. When I came home from work today I changed the crank sensor over to another one I had with a 10k resistor wired in, and now the car revs all the way to 7 but still misfires pretty good at and above 5k. I don't have time to log it right now but it will be interesting to see what the tooth log looks like now, would it help if I posted a screen shot or two of the tooth log, or is there another way to post it?

What are you using for a pickup and wheel?

stock 60-2 wheel and sensor from a b35.. I've read about the problems with this setup, but I've tried all of the solutions that I've seen.

Have you tuned the pots on the board? I'm not sure I'll be much help looking at the log, but if you'd like I can host it. Just email it to me if you'd like. walter.pamplin (at) gmail.com
