Ive been trying for a few weeks to get my car(91 miata with 1.6 and flyin miata turbo) running and have had no success. The car ran a few months ago when i first installed it then a few days later it would not run. Since then ive been trying to figure out what was wrong with it.
Now a few days ago my hard drive crashed on my computer and i lost all my files and when i tied loading the original settings for the miata on tunerstudio and connected I get an error message and it will not spark. I can post the error its showing but i dont know how to fix it.
Is there anyone who can send me the settings for everything on their setup that is similar to mine so i can get this thing running or anyone who i can send my megasquirt to who could sort out my issues?
Im not that goo with electronics and i simply wanted something simple to operate but this is killing me and it is getting way more involved than i wanted to get.

Ok, I'm going to be nice and reply and try not to be too much of an a-hole:
1. The MS2 and MSPNP2 use the same software, so it doesn't matter which one you use, you will have the same issue.
2. A simple search will bring up a base MAP from DIYAutotune (and 100 others) as far as a baseline.
3. Posting an error msg or the MSQ files would help.
4. If you get an error message, most likely it won't spark.
5. We need to know what your issue is first before sending you anything. This has nothing to do with electronics, it's all software setting. You might want to read up on MegaSquirt and how to tune generally before you attempt to start the car and blow up your house! The radioactive core in the engine might overheat and bad things will happen!!! BE WARNED!

Ok, thanks for the reply.
I knew that they used the same software but i figured maybe the PNP setup may be easier as there is less wiring i would have to deal with.
I have done alot of research on megasquirt before i even thought about putting it in, i just dont learn well from reading. I just graduated from MECHANICAL engineering so im good with numbers and hands on(mechanical work such as engine building, carb tuning, head porting,etc) so this whole standalone setup is a scare for me as ive always had trouble with vehicle electronics and computers
One of the reasons im trouble i think is that i went through a tutorial to get some stuff sorted properly and may have made a few changes that could be casusing some problems and that is what im looking for mostly is the other settings such as ignition, injector parameters, etc.
Ill try and get that error message up here in a few minutes. I wish i had someone local because i dont learn this stuff well by reading, i learn by hands on or someone teaching me

Ok here are the 3 screen shots of the errors im getting
BTW whenever im on Mini Terminal to view the error, tuner studio freezes and i have to shut it down with task manager, idk if that is relevant.
That is actually what happened then my hard drive crashed when that happened before and i lost everything on my computer, they may not be related but thats what happened

Ok, so i disabled that port, it was setup as a warning for for the coolant temperature, idk why.
Anyway, the error went away but the car still wont start. It spins over fine and has spark but does not sound like it even wants to run. What would be the next thing to help diagnose the issue? Should i run a datalog while trying to crank?

That appears to be a ignition log and not a datalog. And that MSQ you attached has the JS10 as the ignition. Really hard to help without knowing if D10 or JS10 are used for primary ignition. Back to the beginning... this MS2, was it used with the turbo kit or did it come with a kit you bought (BEGI?)
