Hi folks

Just fitted my secs ecu at last it has a stage 3 base map. When i fire the engine up from the ecu map it runs lumpy, has trouble ticking over and black smokes to death!!!. When i load the base map from file and run her, she runs slightly better but still lumpy and smokey. Its running dizzy @ the mo not coil pack

One map runs 16 deg and 20 m/s injector cycle
The other runs 12 deg and 2.6 m/s injector cycle

This is just a few basic settings i have picked out, I'm running my other ecu now so i don't get any melted pistons

Can any one on here who is running a SECS S8 ecu send me a base map file that works please.

Std stage 3 spec ie/ 803's, 3 bar, 500 cooler, STD compression and cams T34 .48

Also any pics of were you have mounted your coil pack would be nice

Any help much appreciated Cheers

Bri.

 

BTTT Please

 

try pluging it into a proper computer not your old saga mastersistem btt for bry

 

Wondered why i could hear sonic the hedgehog all day, thought i was going mad

Any way come on SECS users

 

come on lads can you help him out

 

Hi mate,

I am currently going through the same process as you! I have just bought an SECS ECU also, and have had the same trouble to date. I am likewise running the original L6 ECU with stge 3 chip for the time being until my Wideband Lambda and controller map arrive.

When I get this, I will spend some time with my mate and his rolling road.

If you have no joy by then, then I will happily share my findings with you, though probably will take a while!

cheers

JJ

 

Cheers fella much appreciated, might have another play tomorrow as i was having trouble changing between maps today

Cheers, Bri

 

I had that problem too!

I found that it was because I had not 'fix to ECU' after playing with the map to make it save it and keep it. It is one of the function keys under file -> transfer!

Hope this helps

Also, if it wont idle, check that the idle control valve isnt disabled on the setup - mine was! The bottom number on the Idle control page should be 0%. If it isnt, then the ICV is set to whatever the number is. Mine was set to 1%, hence it wouldnt idle!

As far as the rest is concerned, I am still learning!!

Cheers again, Checked ICV is set to 0% however still lumpy through all revs, hard to tickover and lots of black smoke (fueling i think) I think i need to get another map or have mine tweaked as the two maps are the same (fuel and ignition tables) but on live data show different readings (12/16 deg timing and 2.5/20 m/s on injector cycle.

Can anone using SECS and same/similar spec to me please send me a .ss8 map file that works pretty please

 

I'm sure if you cross Karl Norris's (NMS) palm with silver, he will send you a good base map .

 

bri stop fookin about and take it to sumone who knows what they doin lol and put some more money on yr visa and jacko get to work you lazy bum

 

20m/s @ idle? Are you sure you have got that right. I'm supprised it will run and will certainly be making some black smoke!

I have a couple of maps at home that ForiegnRS and another chap sent me the other week. If you still need a better base map this evening i will drop you a PM and e-mail the to you.

 

Tried to call Karl about this, but the phone number on his website never gets answered

 

Yes that is correct 20 m/s @ idle it runs at about 600 rpm and you cant see for black smoke.

If you could send me some other maps that would be fantastic as long as they are for same spec give or take

cheers once again

Bri.



You have PM

 

BTTT for Garage19

 

Sorry Bri,

The wife was pretty ill all last night so i didn't get a chance to find those files. Only managed a couple of hours kip for the second night in a row.
Will try and sorth them out tonight.

 

Sorry to hear that bud. Hope all is well

 

got her starting ok now but 10 seconds later its pop bang then stall

Can the TPS be adjusted as i'm only getting 86% when open can this be compensated by a TPS trim?

Map files any one??

 

for a short time only:

link removed

 

Got em your a star

 

At last i have a semi working base map

Cold and warm starts ok now with no black smoke or pops

Not road tested her yet as have no fueling monitoring gear yet

When i rev her up slowly, initially she skips a beat or two then is fine, but with quick and semi quick throttle applications it hesitates really bad for a sec then picks up. I am right in thinking its the throttle fuel enrichment setting i need to look at or is it the map enrighment

I'm using the STUMOD map as it works the best but have noticed the ignition table is only plotted up to 12psi (although not relevent as car is having no load on it until fueling monitoring is sorted)

Also in the live data area i'm getting a Lambda reading in mV but i have no lambda sensor fitted!!!!!

Bloody hard work but i'm keen

 

have you got the correct tps type selected?

that map was based on the BASE4803 map that was tweaked a little at idle on an engine running with std cams and a t34.

i would not drive anywhere on it without proper monitoring gear, especially as i think it was written for a t3, not a t34 that you have.

mV reading without lambda sensor is nothing unusual if it's low. the way that the narrow band lambda sensor outputs anyway, and the way that the ecu uses it is that it will increase fuelling if you get a lean reading (over about 500mV) and decrease it with a rich reading (less than about 500mV)

 

Correct TPS type?

Got the correct sensor settings eg 4x4 webber, but cant find anywere to select TPS type, I am i missing something?

 

proberbly dude,see you tonight or what??

 

try about 30 degrees@ idle

 

that's it

 

is that on the ignition map if so i have:

30 deg @ 500 rpm -15 psi load
32 deg @800 rpm -15 psi
24 deg @ 1500 rpm -15 psi
All BTDC

Tickover seems ok hot and cold just blipping the throttle it hesitates

 

I'm affraid not
