Taz_Rx Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Did you write the injectors 1 to 1, 2 to 2 etc, rather than firing order? When I wired mine up I was all soldered ready for heat shrink and then realised what I had done lol. Wouldn't have been to big of a deal since I'm currently running banked injection but didn't want to have to rewire when I finally got around to running sequential. In your case even if it was wired wrong you'd think it would still get fuel to all four when just idling, just a bit out of phase. Weird it doesn't run at all now. Does it have common power to all four? Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Posted August 22, 2015 Its all been tested a million ways. Everything is fine. I'm not going to change anything in the physical system till I can have the software sorted out. Justin had initially had it wired as you describe but he just swapped the pins over at the ecu and it should be fine now. Getting a bit sick of diagnosis. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Posted August 22, 2015 Its trying to run sequential ignition and injection at the same time so it all has to work or nothing will. It seems like its igniting out of phase. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 I'm sure you'd be onto it but you didn't make the same mistake with coil output wiring did you? Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Posted August 22, 2015 Its all correct now. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Posted August 23, 2015 Been studying the ecu manual. I have worked out 2 things I need to do. One setting is real simple, it seems its been set by Adaptronic to the wrong number of periods before a spark event, which would explain my car somewhat and how its behaved kinda oddly with ignition events. Its set to 3 periods but being a 4 cylinder 4 cycle full sequential motor it needs 4 periods of 180 degrees of engine rotation for each cylinder to have one ignition event. Hopefully that's the smoking gun and I don't have to wait around for Adaptronic to sort it out. I also have neglected to put a timing light on it and there will no doubt be some error there so if I sort that fingers crossed its going to run on 4 pots for me. Off to buy a timing light unless someone can drop by with one. Lets roll the clock back 8 weeks and look how far we've come... Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Posted August 23, 2015 Heres a couple of mates who helped me along the way. In the immortal words of Jeff Fenech, " I Love You'se All". My painter mate Callum who blew the silver on to the car for me. My mate Ben who always loved his old Toyotas and was keen to help. Also my mate Kory who is an amazing welder and who has helped me a tonne with mounts and things, especially early on when I first started this quest. I cannot forget Medicine man who turned up and wired stuff every time I sent out the smoke signals. You're an excellent electrician mate. I cannot forget Teddy Either for helping me with a few parts from the Toyota dealer bin along the way too. My Mechanic mate Brian from Rocklea Mechanical who has given me great tuning advice and contacts for getting work done. My mate Rick Sendall who fitted the cage, made the headers and fixed the floor in the car and modified the diff mounts and made the coil overs. Get well Rick. My mate Mark the Towie for shuttling the car all over for reasonable prices. Macs mufflers for doing a bunch of fiddly welding jobs towards the end. Cheers Clayton. and all who contributed ideas, thoughts, positivism or information along the way, you all are part of this, thanks. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Posted August 23, 2015 Made changes no luck. Considering cubing it and moving forwards in my life in other ways. ʞ©$ɟ! Quote
ke70dave Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 don't give up! Its goung to fire and its going to be awesome. When I was playing with ecu trigger settings I found it helpfull to draw a detailed diagram of the trigger events and firing order etc. Stab in the dark here but since you have 2 clrs firing is it possible the other two outputs are not setup correctly?

LittleRedSpirit Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) It would be impossible to explain how I got here but it runs on none now. Running on 2 was an anomaly caused by a combo of swapped round wiring and triggering that has since been tested and corrected. Adaptronic has a diagnostic process to follow I need to work through it.

LittleRedSpirit Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Posted August 26, 2015 I still need to do a few more tests but at least its running again. No videos till I finish messing with it, and because its too late now. Ill have to warm up the coolant and see if its good at 82 degrees. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) She drives perfect. Started it up today and made a video of it running. Also drove it around the yard and did a couple skids on the grass. Shits tight! Wish I didn't have to build stuff today Id love to drive it and tune it. :clover: :lovin: Edited August 27, 2015 by LittleRedSpirit Quote
