Zetec idle settings

Hi guys!

I've succesfully installed a Microsquirt on my Zetec powered Westfield but, although I've read the manual twice, I can't seem to get the basic settings for the idle control right and so the car starts, but starts to "yo-yo" in RPM and AFR right away until it dies.
I'm using a 1800cc Zetec ...

Re: Megatune shows wrong RPM

Thanks again for the replies guys! :yeah!:
I'm still using the base fuel map that came with the ECU. I'm running a wide band lambda sensor which (I think) is set for a target AFR. I've still got issues with the MAP sensor because it's shows 115 kpa which, as stated before is slightly high. I'll ...

Re: Megatune shows wrong RPM

MAP shows 115 with the engine out and drops to about 30 whilst cranking. I think it dies because of lack of fuel after start. I played around with the after start enrichment settings which showed some improvement, but it still dies after a second or so. It almost looks like it's not picking up the ...

Re: Megatune shows wrong RPM

Thanks for the replies guys! :D
I've got a new problem. With the MAP sensor disconnected from the manifold, the engine idles without problems. When I connect the MAP sensor again, the engine dies. When I attempt a restart, the engine fires and dies right away.
Any idea what the problem might be?

Re: Megatune shows wrong RPM

It's alive!
Made a pretty stupid mistake connecting the MAP sensor which resulted in a incorrect MAP signal. Fixed the wiring and it started right away!

I did a lot of reading in the manual, but the autotune function still is a mistery to me. Is it something that is on all the time?
Also, my engine ...

Re: Megatune shows wrong RPM

I played with the settings a little bit and indeed the number of cylinders was set to 8. Now I've got a steady RPM of 250 while cranking. I suspect that the battery is close to death, so I'll need to get a new one.
I've uploaded a .msq file, but I know some of the settings are still off. I've got ...

Re: Megatune shows wrong RPM

Thanks for your reply. I'm not very familair with the Microsquirt/Megatune yet, so I'll do my best to upload a log.
I seriously doubt that my settings are right for this setup. Is there any way to get a base map/settings from someone using a simulair setup? I'm trying to decode the manual but I find ...

Megatune shows wrong RPM

Hi everybody!

I'm a newbie from Holland, trying to fit a Microsquirt into a 1800cc Zetec powered Westfield. Hooked up all the sensors and using the standard Ford VR sensor, coil and Edis module. At first, Megatune showed about 300 rpm while cranking. Now that I've got everything installed, it's ...
