ms1 4000rpm ghost "limiter"

Post by onnipekka »

Do you guys have any idea that what could be messing around in my ms1? When the engine heats up (90c) it won't rev over 4000rpm? Like new rev limiter on 4000rpm.. On neutral it spins easily the 6400rpm but not on gears. New sparkplugs.

so here is a toothlog when the cancer hits. I hope this helps something. The most weird thing is that, when coolant is below 90 its easily goes to the REAL revlimiter (6400)

That .csv is not much help. Need to see your .msq and a full .msl datalog of the instance.

Ok so there is a factor you did not mention. Every logged run shown was 4k, but engine was in boost.Will it run over 4K but when not in boost? What is the plug gap?

Yes it will. About 0.6mm on NGK bpr7es.

Change your plug gaps see if it gets better or worse. those plugs would be a 1mm gap from factory. You could be too close. I would try opening them up for starters.

No change in the rpm or did it shift the point of break down? What type of ignition system is on the engine?

No change at all. Fords 6cyl wastedspark and 3 ignitionrocks inside megasquirt (I don't know if "rock" is the right term but in Finland we call them sytkäkivi=ignition rock)

I used to use ford edis coils in wasted spark triggered by the "rocks". I ran a bit more dwell than you are using. 2 - 2.5mS if I remember correctly.
