Since frying my Megasquirt on Sunday and a planned trip to California on Thurday I needed to get some soldring done. I was lucky enough to have a MegaSquirt II kit I was planning to build at some point. Monday became that point. So late night were in order but I got it finished. Gerry and I leave this morning at 10 with a new ECU and a bunch of tuning to do. I feel like I finished finals.

Thanks Kev

Time to go put air in the tires, check the oil etc. It looks like showers through to at least Eugene. YUK

Dave,

Good luck.

What a great adventure! Father & son 914 trip to California!

I need to follow your example. Yesterday, my son finished his driver's training class and we finally got the new 3.2 running in the teener. He is itching to get behind the wheel.

Good luck Dave and Gerry!

I mean physically what fried, not what is the mechanism that caused the failure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

i spoke with dave last night. the ms is one big mystery to me. i think it was a ground terminal hooked up to a power source? he said it blew a big cap or resistor? there was a BIG melt on the board. his first tip was that the fuel pump ran continously when the key was in the first position. dave's the only guy i know who keeps a spare ms board in his parts stash!!

He actually was lucky to have the MSII kit on hand, intending to build it. This just accelerated the process.

there's other details dave can share if he wants. way more acceleration than he planned for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) he's prob just south of olympia right now. the first reststop is just down the road.

We made it to Yreka about 7 after 9 hrs of driving. Tuned on the road and averaged 27.9 mpg. The car ran great except for what I think are a few processor resets or a dropped spark event and high oil temps at times. We probably had 20 or so in 9 hrs. and it's not getting any worse so I'm not too worried. I suspect I can adjust it out with signal averaging. All in all a good day.

We'll be in the bay area tomorrow.

I fried the flyback circuit and the EDIS module. I hooked up 12V to a ground.

Getting ready to hit the road again. Trying to get a 16 year old out of bed at 6.

you made good time. 28mpg average. that's factoring in the southern oregon and north cal ups and downs. i bet cruising on the flats you're well over 30.

U da man Dave!! The future of the 914 is your set-up.....mild displacement bump with modern fuel injection. Fuel ecomomy and lots of fun. Try to catch some Highway 1 action on the way home - it's worth it.

We made it to Napa and McMark's. Driving CA 128 from Winters to Napa was great fun until we got behind a Honda Odessy with a soccer mom that thought she was Danika Patrick.

We spent the afternoon helping strip Andy's car. He had hand tight CV bolts AHHHHH! He also had a neat little clip thaheld the clutch cable to the pulley housing on the tranny. Nice people and a good time.

We just got to Palo Alto and are cleaning up for a snack before watching a little tube and hitting the sack.
