Car Starts and Runs but when i switch off it will not start

Post by nevtiger »

OK,

MSextra version 29i

This was running on previuos Rover 4.6, however, i have changed the engine and run into a small problem:

If i load my base msq onto my laptop, then communicate with the MS i can start the car without any problems.

If i then switch it off and then try to restart it will not start at all!!!

I am sure this is me - but i can not see the wood for the tree's

Any ideas as to what i am doing wrong??

Cheers

You have a conflicting config error most likely. Is your fuel pump going on/off?

Well, the pump seems to becoming on and then going off again upon power up, but if i load up my new map when the MS is powered up then pump stays on.

Where did your "base map" come from? I'm wondering if it contains some errors or invalid settings?
Do you get any errors when starting Megatune ?

No errors are reported but i have had success with using an old map i had used with 4.6 - its not very close and requires alot of fiddling but at least it appears to stay in the MS

I have attached the working and non working msq's as a comparison the top one is one that will not 'stay in' the bottom one appears to load in fine (although very very roughly tuned so far).
