No spark below 150rpm

Post by Reverant »

Hey guys,

I'm running 1.1-pre5, Miata 99-05, spark outputs on D14/D16, spark output normal. So the car has been very difficult to start at times, usually when cold. So today, after sitting for a couple of days, I couldn't start it for the life of me. I hooked up the stim, and sure enough, below 150rpm, there's no spark! As soon as I go over 150-155rpm, the LEDs start blinking. Injection events are fine.

In the datalog, the manual marks show the crossover points where I see the LEDs go on and off.

Any ideas???

I'm using wasted spark, not wasted COP.

Yes its a MS3+MS3X that I am building and testing for someone else, my own car is still on the MS2.

Edit: No change when I tried anything, including single coil and wasted COP.

This looks to be a bug in the alpha code. I've repeated weird behaviour here in this mode. I'll investigate.

1.0.1 appears ok.
