Ok had a Megasquirt system installed on the 3.0. Much better throttle response and looks oh so sexy. Tuning was something else but it runs pretty well. Two issues:
1. After a cold start, the car is not drivable for at least two minutes, until it warms up. If you try to drive it cold it just stalls. Is this normal behavior? 2. The throttle is a tad touchy. Unless you slowly squeeze the throttle accelerating is like an on/off switch, with a millisecond of hesitation and then off we go. Is that normal or can that be tuned out? |

1. After a cold start, the car is not drivable for at least two minutes, until it warms up. If you try to drive it cold it just stalls. Is this normal behavior? Short answer, yes. This isnt a deficiency of Megasquirt, this would be related to details the build or the tune, but cant really say without more information. What sort of induction are you running? Is an idle control valve being used? Has the warmup curve been tuned? What does the mixture look like while its warming up? 2. The throttle is a tad touchy. Unless you slowly squeeze the throttle accelerating is like an on/off switch, with a millisecond of hesitation and then off we go. Is that normal or can that be tuned out? Again, need more information, its either the build or the tune. What induction is being used? Has the fuel map been dialed in, have accel enrichment been properly tuned? What does the timing look like? what does the cam look like? Seeing datalogs would help as well. The thing with megasquirt is you get out of it what you put into it. Just slapping parts on a motor doesn't guarantee it will work well, there is a quite a lot of proper planning and follow up tuning involved to maximize results. |
