[tuner23] Re: tuner issues



Well, I found the problem tonight. The XR curse strikes again! I took the ECU out and took out the plug that goes into the daughterboard. I did a continuity test and it all checked out ok.. I was stumped, then I plugged it in and did continuity test on the plug receptacle on the daughterboard to the serial port terminal on the wire.. AHA!.. no contact on the yellow wire (ground?) I inspected it and I noticed that the internal pin on the receptacle was damaged, it seemed to be defective.. if I moved the plug around it would make contact. It was never set in the plastic correctly (it looked molded into the plug), I took a metal pick and bent it back to allow contact with the plug again. I put it together and it worked, the tuner is back online now.. I don't know how this happened or if someone I gave a ride to kicked the ecu or snagged the cable and move the plug a bit but now it works.. The tuner works fine for me. I need to work on the base fuel map still becuase I get lean conditions on part throttle and cruise but other wise the WOT maps are pretty straight forward to set up.

With Martin's post, I feel a little better about all the problems I have had with the tuner. More than half of the time it does not
run
the file I upload and here lately, it looses the file after a few days. I have tried the tuner on several processors; currently have the PF3, started out with the PE.

My ignition and charging system is up to snuff, I run a 3G 95amp alternator with all new wiring, Optima Cell battery, and everything else is in good condition. I can always tell when the tuner has
lost
the file as the rev limiter goes back down to stock and I end up bouncing off of it.

Does anyone else have these issues with the tuner? I think I will send mine back in and get the newer version with the data logging capabilities.
