Crazy weekend. Where to start...
I finally had serious time to pump out ECU work for others. I was successful in making a second NA V8 ECU!!!! This has not been done worldwide
This means that there will be 2 alabaster NA V8's!!! JimmySkullz will be up and running very soon!
The other ECU job I have currently is still in hush hush mode because of some difficulties with correct parts being shipped. It's all worked out and should be revealed soon.
Now testing the 2nd V8 ECU I made was interesting and scared the crap out of me... I wen't on a short drive, pulled into a gas station to buy a beer and the car died on the way in. It had CPS written alllllll over it, but all I changed was the ECU. I walked home and grabbed the V8's CPS and my other ECU. Still didn't start. Smelled fuel but no tach jump on cranks. Now rather than troubleshoot in front of a run down gas station next to an outdoor bar and grill I had two friends help me push it home... For 3K lbs this car will kill you pushing 1/2 mile lol. 2005 Ragtop had just got his new CPS in and was going to have a shop install it. I said if I install it can I have his old one. He agreed. So swapped his, swapped mine... First things first, the V6 CPS I had said "ab" with a Mercedes part number...??? The V8 CPS had nothing written on it anywhere. I thought for sure this was the problem. As I was walking to the car to install it, I dropped it (facepalm)... Picked it up, installed it, no start. Then I realized that there was some melted plastic on the valve cover between cylinders 6 and 7.... hmmmm. Pulled the coil for cylinder 7 and sure enough, it shorted and melted for plug B. Replaced it, still no start. Took a break since I had no hair left at this point and thought.... With a short that bad there must be a fuse. Popped open the drivers side fuse box, replaced the 15 amp fuse and she roared to life... (facepalm).
Moral of the story. If you think it's the CPS and the car still doesn't start after you replace it, try looking for a shorted coil and replace the fuse.
Cam - Crank sensors are still goofed up. Switching ECU's did nothing. Still thinking the variant coding is all messed up in star DAS Developer.
