MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
Hello to everyone
This is my first ECU project,
Engine:
BMW M62TUB35 (3.5L V8)
VVT on intake
ECU:
MS3 Pro ultimate
2x Quadspark
Status at this moment
Wiring harnas connected to:
-Quadspark
-COP (OEM)
-Injectors (OEM)
-MAT (OEM)
-TPS
-Fuel pump + relais
-12+ connected (with big a switch) directly to the accu
Things what's working
-Injectors
-TPS
-Fuel pump
-MAT
Settings Tunerstudio:
-Falling edge
-Going high
-wasted spark
Where I need help:
I got nothing out of the spark (in test mode)
They are 3 wire
In my daily car i got the same engine so i checked all the wires
Pin 1 Signal
Pin 4a Ground
Pin 15 12+
If i measure on my daily (all OEM) i got between 1 & 15 12volts
With engine OFF and RUNNING
I hope someone can help me with something

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
Yesterday i buy some brand new VW COP's
test them olso in spark test mode, but agian nothing (test them directly on MS without quadspark)
see in attachments
-.MSQ -- file how i test the BMW COP's(3 Wire) and the VW COP's (4 wire)
-Wiring power & output's -- this is all what i wired right now
-Wiring input's -- this is all what is wired right now (before the CKP was olso wired but at this moment disconnected)

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
I have an M62b44 (non-VANOS) running on full sequential from MS3+MS3X for the past several days now, and with a tune that is getting quite acceptable. I'm not sure about the differences between some of the sensors and trigger wheels on our engines, but if your engine has the crank position sensor on the flywheel, it is probably the same Tooth #1 angle as mine. I've found that to be 66 degrees.
Also, since you're set to full sequential, I think you need a second trigger input from the cam. I am not familiar with the MS3 Pro inputs and outputs, but I am guessing that the cam input and the spark output shouldn't both be JS10?
For my engine, second trigger is "poll level", and Level for phase 1 is "High." Since I'm using MS3X, my spark hardware is "MS3X Spark," and my cam input is "MS3X Cam In."
I don't know if any of this can help you, but I don't think there are too many of us M62 guys around, so it can be nice to have a bit of assistance from time to time!

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
Thanks for your reply!
my CKP sensor and CMP sensor is working very good
my engine is with VANOS so the first tooth angle will be higher
i got the same settings for my CAM input (that feels good )
there are many differences in pin numbers of the MS3X and MS3 Pro
but my big problem is, the coils are not woring...
what type of COP's do you use?
and how are those wired?

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
There's a simple test you can try.
First off - unplug all of the coils.
Connect a volt meter between ground and spk A trigger signal.
Now, in the "Output test mode -I/O 2" you can directly turn spk A on and off. Check that you see 0V or 5V on your meter.
Repeat for other outputs.

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
Are you sure about that from checking with a timing light? I'm not disagreeing with you, but I do find it unexpected that they changed the trigger wheel on the flywheel when going from the non-vanos to vanos.. If so, I wonder why it was necessary..nicodenhertog wrote:my engine is with VANOS so the first tooth angle will be higher
I am currently using the factory COPs that are the same between the M62b44 and M52b28 engines that I have. I created an "Octoshock" (as named by my daughter) with 8 BIP373s in it, so it is wired the same as the Quadsparks are on the coil side. On the MS3 side I am running the BIP373s from the MS3X logic level spark outputs, with the normal 330 Ohm resistor in line.nicodenhertog wrote:what type of COP's do you use?

By the way, your engine install is SOOOO CLEAN AND TIDY!! Makes me think I need to completely rewire the top of my engine that is still messy with factory wiring boxes and whatnot..

The same test with the quadspark gives 12V but its a very weak signal if i connect a 1.2W light on it the volts will go down to 1.88v
Thanks

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
The Quadspark is a ground-switch - it doesn't put out any voltage. Seeing about 1V at the output when it is connected to a bulb is probably ok (I've not measured that.)
Did you test bulb light up brightly?

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
Yes, i did the test with the light, there was a very small light but it was not a bright light!jsmcortina wrote:The Quadspark is a ground-switch - it doesn't put out any voltage. Seeing about 1V at the output when it is connected to a bulb is probably ok (I've not measured that.)

when i measure that 12V on the output of the Quadspark it was between Quadspark output and 12V+
and with the light connected the voltage between quadspark output and 12V+ is 1.88 V
With how many watt lights do other people test?
Thanks
Nico
Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
I have an m60b40 on MS3X, so slightly different but settings should be nearly the same. Also using quadspark with OEM coils. Couple things, why wasted spark instead of sequential? Also I *think* it should be rising edge, not falling. Not in front my tuning computer so I can't be 100% sure, but i'm nearly positive. What are your trigger wheel settings?

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
My M62b44 is running perfectly now, full-sequential, with fuel, spark, and idle controlled by MS3+MS3X. I am on rising edge as you say abeebe718.

last week i stared with the trigger wheel settings but there isn't het problem i think, there is no spark in testing mode (the wasted spark was only to test something)
but you are right the trigger wheel settings has to be rising edge only then i got a good log

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
You need to get the coils firing in test mode before doing anything else.

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
Today i did an other test
The engine in the car is the same as in my project car
Power and ground from the car to the MS3 Pro wiring
Power and ground from the MS3 Pro to the coils
Coil trigger from the car to the COP's
And i got a spark
so the Power and ground is good from the MS3 Pro wiring
But in testmode still no spark
if someone has tips on how to measure the triggering of the car

Re: MS3 Pro ultimate - M62
I'm not sure what to suggest, try contacting your supplier?
If you are really stuck, you could send me the ECU to confirm it is working ok.

It will be great if we can test the MS3 Pro box
