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.
Forum for discussing how to install MicroSquirt(TM), choose and troubleshoot sensors, wiring, and communications for MicroSquirt (TM) and MicroSquirt Module(TM).

Running a V3 microsquirt system on my V6 Duratec, everything is fine and runs very well however I have only one nagging issue and that is the rev counter, I am using the original Ford Mondeo V6 rev counter and all was well at first except when any electrical functions was used the rev counter would give a quick dip to 0 then back up other than that it would work fine, however the more I use the car the fault is getting worse, sometimes it just dies for no reason then will come back on again but very erratic in nature, I have double checked every thing I can think of, even tried another rev counter just to make sure. I am using the Ford EDIS unit hooked up to the Microsquirt module, I have also tried to get my rev counter working from the EDIS unit with no luck, should I have something else on the rev counter wire from pin 35? whatever it is it does not effect the running of the engine

Update on this, bit of head scratching went on here, with no help from the www I decided to try the trial or error method, for anyone with the same problem as I had, use pin 2 on the EDIS used for diagnostics on the original Ford set up, but only works with modern electronic rev counters as I am using the original V6 rev counter from the 1999 Mondeo it was not a problem, job done
