MS3X Expansion Card Failure

Post by merlewagner »

After finishing up my bench testing I finished assembling my unit and did a final test. Very erratic operation. took case back off and realized the RPM pot had been turned way too high. After getting the unit back to an operational RPM I noticed that two of the injector drivers were not firing (C and E). I scoped the inputs and they were good but the ouputs were dead, GONZO. Anyone ever have these type of failures with a Stim board?

Does DIYAutotune have spare driver transistors or should I check out local supplies?

EDIT:
As a side note I noticed that the injector driver output is normally high with pulses going low. Is this normal? Just doesn't seem correct to me.

There's a one year warranty on the card - email us at websales@diyautotune.com; if it's broken we can replace it.
