The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.

I may learn otherwise, but in my case I am fairly confident that I have ruled out the computer being the issue. I must stress I am certainly not an expert ...
Tried that but thank you for taking the time to reply. I have had a trawl over the site and it seems that the problem has raised its head quite a few times. I have a niggle that I have somehow damaged the unit as it seems very strange that it has stopped working suddenly . I am hopeful that perhaps ...
Been playing around with Mircrosquirt v3.0 for a couple of years on a kit car project. I have the unit installed but never tuned. The car would start after a couple of turns and run at a fairly rough idle until it was warm. I stopped there as I am a novice to the tuning game and didnt ...
I have been lurking in the background reading about Microsquirt and its features. I am seeking some advice re its installation. Let me start by explaining what I am doing and what I hope to achieve.
I am building a kit car based on the MX5 1994-1995 1.8 engine. Whilst happy enough ...
