pre tap your holes

Post by baz-r »

had a bit of an odd one today with a fresh ms3x build

had everything running all ok on a stim on the bentch and while i had the other ecu out of my car i was thinking it would be a good idea to test the new ms3 on the car.

so i put it all in its nice new black case and pluged it into the car

started promptly on the key and ran for 2 min then stoped and then no rpm's on crank or anything?

pulled it out and strippe dit back appart and nothing in with the stim?

turned out to be a tiny bit of swarf between to pins on q22 :evil: and a few bits in the case too!
all working fine again now.

might be a good idea to pre tap and clear the screw holes to stop this happening.
