Re: Help getting started

Holy thread resurrection.

For anyone with a similar engine setup who's using this base map.

Just make sure you have your cam sensor pinned to G2 and not G1.. doh.

Re: Arduino CAN Colour Dash Display

Troy, apologies for not getting back to you. My car, dashboard, and anything Motorsport related has taken a bit of a back seat this summer, slowly getting back into the swing of things. I was having problems with latency on the control I used to display RPM, was a bit of a faff but got there in the ...

On wasted spark, but after the hours I've spent trying to get it started I'm taking this as a victory. Alex has been a lot of help, so thanks to him. I'm away for a couple of wee...

Re: Help getting started

I took some fuel out of it last night and tried again, but it's clear the battery is fighting a losing battle. I've put it on charge, and will try again. The battery is a good few years old and hasn't been used properly for 18 months so we'll see how it fairs. Trying to do the simple things first. I...

Re: Help getting started

Perhaps my terminology of 24/1 is incorrect.

There isn't a missing tooth.

The amount of fuel has also been pointed out by a friend. I've made some changes to hopefully lower that and I'm going to try that tonight before sticking the battery on charge.

Checking spark whilst cranking was something I didn't try, I can do that the next time I'm at the car.

You say the trigger is in the distributor and a 24/1 will this work? are you saying this is 24 teeth with no gaps plus a cam sensor?
That's correct.

Battery sounds like it's struggling. Try a booster.
Thanks Alex, will give that a try. The car has sat for a while now, so it wouldn't be a surprise if it's kaput.

Help getting started

Spent some time this afternoon trying to get my car started for the first time. Now go easy on me, this is the first time I've ever done this. The car is a Starlet GT Turbo, I'm using standard triggering which is a 24/1 trigger setup housed inside the standard distributor. I am then using Toyota (De...
