Another MS3 Basic Firmware Update Thread
Gents,
Wanted to start a new thread rather than thread steal or tack it on to my other thread.
I updated from 1.2.0 to 1.3.4 yesterday. Now I'm going through the menus looking for anything that seems out of place. So here's question 1. Under Basic/Load Settings/ MAF Settings Tab, the Sensor Type is set to Voltage. Should that be Off instead? I thought the MS was sensing air flow using vacuum.
Thanks,

Here's the current 1.3.4 tune. I wanted to see if she'd start up after following all the directions. She would run if I gave it some throttle, but otherwise would not idle. I only had a few error messages, and they were all about something I changed that I can't find now. I changed maximum rpm value from 9000 to 8000. Seemed innocent enough. I'll change it back when I can find it.
Unfortunately, I have the RED "Not Ready" light and she's "Not Synced". Any idea what I missed?
I plan to do the 1.4.1 update later.
Thanks,

As far as idle goes mine was idling like ***** until I turned on PWM Closed-loop, adjusted the idle VE table, and turned on idle advance and idle RPM timing correction. Now I'm just playing with WUE and it's almost acting like the stock ECU at this point.
For firmware I just followed what TorqueJunkie outlined in his thread and everything seems to be in good working order. There are a crapload of mismatches when bumping up, but I'm on 1.4.1 from 1.2.4 and nothing seems awry. *Disclaimer: Total noob*

I loaded 1.4.1. She starts and idles without issue, but she's still not synced. That was easier than I thought it would be. The problem with 1.3.4 was my fault--I missed a pull down menu that needed updating.
Here's the tune with 1.4.1. I did three composite logs, but can't find a single one. Does that mean anything?

Are you sure you want to work in Deg C? Most folks on MT won't follow your logs.
Better flatten out your MAT Air Density correction.
AFR Targets are quite rich, 95 kPa and up. Maybe that's what people do with supers?
Suggest using AFR safety.
Idle Advance Looks strange to me. Surely you don't idle near 95 kPa.
Advance near 100kPa is quite retarded.
I have no input on your lack of sync issue. I was thinking there was another thread about it.

I spent 23+ years in the military. I know how to follow instructions. Soooooooooooo, it was easy with all the help from this forum. Thanks to all.
I don't know. The red "Not Synced" box is lit showing the red circle with the slash. It was green when I was running the 1.2.0 firmware. As I said previously, I thought I had a couple of composite logs, but I can't find them doing a "This PC" search for any file created today. I'll try again tomorrow.
Thanks again,

This is where I saw the C vs F. Not sure how it is used.
This is at least closer to what you likely need, assuming you tune at around 70* MAT.
Idle occurs somewhere around 30 to 45 kPa, typically. When you go into idle advance, you are set to run somewhere around 17 BTDC, and the curve is not precise in the operating area. Personally, I make mine flat to 10* and use an idle RPM Timing Correction Curve similar to your curve on that.

Bottom left of dashboard. Create a new one by clicking the tab.
I vaguely remember seeing what you describe. I think I just deleted that one annunciator and went on with life. I still have one that works correctly. You may want to see if you have two of them, one correct and one not. The one I still have is called, "Not RPM Synced" and is red until engine is synced.
