My (fairly new-to-me) megasquirted '74 2L is running warm on the highway, and I suspect an overly aggressive ignition map might be to blame. As well, it's got some spots in the fuelling that are still rough around the edges, and I don't think I've got the patience to do anything but DRIVE the damned thing (who wants to fiddle around with the laptop when I could be enjoying the car?).
As a result, I think I'd like to buy some dyno time with a tuner that's familiar with both the type IV and the MegaSquirt... does anyone have any recommendations? For reference, I'm tuned for ~14.5 at cruise and about 36 degrees of advance at 3100 RPM cruise on the highway. I'm seeing head temps settling around 360 with up to 385 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) on long uphill sections, and oil temps of about 230. Around town temps hang out at about 345 and 225. Thanks in advance for the advice! This forum is a really great resource. |

I think in your first post you said you were running 32 deg advance at 3500RPM I think that is your running hot problem. Listen to 904SVO, he's had his MS on a test stand for about a year and has a vast Knowledge of electronics. I agree with 904SVO lets get an Atlanta group together and learn about MS and other 914 issues, AL
