Do you mean the first tooth log on page 24?

that was the file i was looking at.

edit any chance you can get some fresh tooth log and composite logs of it cranking and also losing sync when running?

Trigger logs are usually useless for this kind of problem. Please save your time and do.not post them.

Did you think further on my previous comments.

I have similar problems when upgraded from 1.2.1 to 1.2.3, 1.2.4 or 1.3.0 release. MS3 from 1.3.0 come back to live only on the table with USB connection directly to PC and dedicated +12V power and GND. Downgrade to 1.2.1 helped and car works perfect TunerStudio connected on the car. Now I want to have a Traction Prefect RPM Run and it not work in 1.2.1 because of bug. But I'm afraid of problems in new versions so might to wait when somebody fixed it. :D

That's unlikely to happen as we (the devs) aren't aware of anything being broken.

Yes I have similar issues with sync. Also engine can suddenly die. I tried 1.3.3 beta3 for 2 days and it works normal. Continue testing.

В общем Рома пробуй эту версию - раньше мне тоже говорили что это я дурак, а не баг в мегасквирте.

I got back my ECU with a completly new v3.0 card.
Ecu updated to 1.3.2 now I can not even rev more then 3000 rpm at idling.

Before i worked great with a 22k resistor and I could rev withot poblem up to 9000rpm
Does not matter how much I adjust the pots .

Now I will try beta 1.3.3

Feels so strange that after 2 years everyday driving the car works just perfect and now I got some virus :oops:

I made about 20 install the same setup with the same stock vr sensor and it allways work very fine, so something is wrong because the car run just fine with this setup before I changed the firmware

looking back at the first log you are getting resets when the ecu looses sync, if you look at secL you can see it drop and start re counting back after it loses sync up plus it appears you lose some time in the log, and if you look at the time that jumps up when it happens as well.
