I have achieved new levels of numptyness
I think my problem with my MS not seeing the PIP signal was down to the fact I had disconnected the +12v to the MS as the fusebox!
This raises the question though, how was my MS powered so that it could appear to be working to TunerStudio??

It could be worse. At least you didn't set the car on
fire!
If you haven't had a numpty-moment then I doubt you've been around kit cars for very long!

I changed a gearbox once an Alfasud once to fix an undiagnosed drivetrain knock.
Turned out the front wheel studs were loose!
Not my best day

Cheffy and I took a X-flow head off to cure an oil leak, turned out to be the earth for the Megajolt breaking, it was allowing two cylinders to push
oil out of the intake, very wierd.

I think the expression goes something like: "Measure twice, cut once, discard, repeat".
It's quite possible to a power a microcontroller via a voltage on one of it's I/O pins and the inbuilt static protection diodes, so
I'm not surprised it still ran well enough to do comms.

So does this mean you have got it going Scudderfish??
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

No, because I discovered the missing 12v after I had posted it back to ExtraEFI for a checkup. Phil did send me an email saying it was working
perfectly so I should be good to go as soon as I get it back

LOL thats just the way it goes isn't it?? I was 3 months trying to find why mines would start but not rev till I found a dry soldered joint ( by
chance ).
bet you're getting excited about it coming through the post.

Doh!

Thanks for the update, easily done.
Went for a nice drive today. 40miles away fuel was a bit low so went to fill-up.
Wrong keys, so no way of removing petrol cap. Amazing how good a BEC is for economy! 55mph and keeping off the brakes waiting for the "stutter
of doom".
In my case everyday is a new cock-up.
