The pas pump as been really noisy, almost certain its the bearing, i have a feeling its my fault having the belt to tight, anyway i have a pump ready to fit but tonight i thought one last drive before the pump comes off :-( i ended up having a great drive but close to home at the traffic light i not...

Injector Driver

Failing miserably :( cant even get it to connect, using the USB port, i'm using windows 7. If i go on communication, The only one i can click on is Mini-Terminal, Port name: COM3 is the only one which doesn’t give me a error opening port? but still nothing. Does it matter what the output format is o...

There are two options for saving an MSQ, 'save' and 'save as' Save updates the current loaded MSQ file, save as creates a new one. That will be named with date and time (unless you change the name) and be saved in the same place as other MSQ files for your project. You'll be able to see all availab...

Thanks for the replys, based in sunny York :) I think i can manage with those instuctions, Im thinking the map that's saved on the laptop is a older Map & as since been changed, how would i save the current map :?: Ill give it a go Today :roll: Will the datalogging on idle show a faulty injector dri...

As above really, can anyone talk me through how to datalog and get the msq file. i have both Tuner Studio & Mega Log viewer on the laptop but never used them USB lead is connected to the ecu so its easy to connect up..........
Thanks

If the O2 sensors ain't linked to the MS, it won't be running closed loop, so unless you've altered things manually, TS shouldn't be showing any differences, if you're certain you've loaded the correct MSQ file to TS. Might be worth posting a screenshot of the difference report. Ill give it a try D...

Hi, email me the msq file and a datalog of it idling and I will take a look (phil(at)extraefi.co.uk) I suspect the ITBs though, in my experience of them they tend to leak, have you balanced them all and set them up using a flow meter? If so then are they still balanced? thanks Phil Thanks for the a...

Just a quick question before my batt dies on the laptop. What are the diference reports on the MS3 when pluged in? connected it up tinight and its stacked with Yellow diferences

Thanks for the replies..... Ill check some of the things mentioned tomorrow. Just had a horrible thought though, When it got started up (firing on 6?) it was a rush job having to get it on a transporter, so it was driven up on 6, when it got to its destination it was unloaded on 6 and the same comin...

Just hoping that somone might be able to give some pointers with the 5.3 V8D engine running bad A bit of a long story which ill try & keep short After the first map all seemed OK, after next to no miles the idle was terrible and the afr gauges were showing lean at idle, Chris who did the mapping cam...

Any idea if this will work with my MS3? http://www.scangauge.com/products/scangaugeii/

Cold oil pressure on idle (700rpm) is around 28 dropping to 25 aprox warm, i'm guessing there isnt anything wrong there, The first oil which went in was the new (expensive :-() Millers 10-50 Nanodrive i ended up changing it last week to Valvoline VR1 20w50, tbh there isnt any diference re: oil press...

The noise is there cold or warm, The cam is hydraulic.
V8D have suggested taking the car down to them for a listen, suppose that’s the best plan, its hard to know where the noise is coming from but i would guess somewhere from the front in the valley. as mentioned its only at idle

Ive just listned to the vid on the laptop and it doesnt pick the noise up as good as on the PC, If you listen above the normal clatter? you can pick the noise up.
If it was a loose lifter will it be safe to do a bit of gentle mapping?
