MegaSquirt in Parallel Questions
I have a 92 with the engine from a 94. I have A/C and I want to keep it.
I'd like to buy a MegaSquirt already assembled instead of building it myself.
From reading FAQ's scanning the MegaManual, and browsing the forums I think (but I'm not sure) I should get the Megasquirt II and run it in parallel with my existing ECU. This should allow the Mazda ecu to control the idle and the A/C.
I haven't found anything written but I suspect if I'm going to run in parallel I shouldn't bother with the Plug & Play. Is this correct?
I haven't found a wiring diagram that shows the connections to be done in a parallel setup. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Vince

a parallel MSI controls fuel and spark
a standalone MSI can be made to control idle and fans
the MSPNP is a standalone that controls your idle, your fans, and AC in addition to all the things a parallel MS does.

Perhaps there should be an area of the forum for people who are still learning, where they could ask questions and get helpfull answers.
I understand that you and many others here are sick of the same questions over & over, and would prefer a forum where you only deal with new and interesting problems.
If buying a MegaSquirt, installing it and using it require reading thousands of pages of information then perhaps it's not for me. I had hoped that reading what I did, then asking a few question would help me make a decision. You seem to suggest that "there is a link here to all knowledge about the MS. Read it".
Btw, what link were you refering to? I don't see an obvious answer to any of my questions in the title of any of your links.
Thanks

You dont see the link that says DIY MS How-To ???
Click that one, if you can't figure it out from that how-to then it really isn't for you because pretty much everything from wiping your own *** when you're done is covered.
