If it's throwing an immediate eml with no code, I'd be tempted to think it's the hardware setup of the emanage and then wiring.
All jumpers where they should be? Number of cylinders correct? MAF type correct (if using maf as an input)?

The MAP itself wouldn't cause an eml on start up. Not without a code.

Carolyn · January 16, 2017, 18:58

I checked the jumpers - all seems fine. I'm using the standard maf and airbox (and it's doing fine without the Emanage). Looking at the map, I'm not sure that it is using the maf (which it should).
This needs someone to actually look at what's going on with my puter/software/ emanage. I lack the basic comfort in working with it.
I don't feel it's going to be solved by 'remote'. Time for hands and eyes on.
We could spend many messages trying to sort out that which an experienced eye will solve in a couple of minutes. What I need is a bit of education.

Well done, great progress, hopefully someone with good knowledge of using eManage systems will volunteer to pop round?

Carolyn · January 16, 2017, 20:21

That's what I'm hoping for. Or at least, an invitation to take my hardware somewhere and be shown how to use it properly. The principles, I understand, the practice, I just need to be shown. That's how I learn best.
She's running sweet under no load, so it's all down to getting it right on the road now.

Have you tried contacting Greddy direct, to see if they can help?

Carolyn · January 16, 2017, 20:45

Thanks for the suggestion, Martin, but I'm in search of practical instruction. I can read info on websites, but I'm dealing with language full of assumptions about the reader's knowledge and lots of acronyms and buzzwords. Doesn't work for me. I have manuals but it's amazing how little of the BASICS they bother to impart. I can't imagine Greddy doing other than referring me to their manual.
It's out there .. I'll have to troll through my motorsport contacts.

Would it help if I sent/brought you my setup with a laptop and everything that properly work etc?

I don't actually know how everything works but I can certainly help with loading software etc...?

Carolyn · January 16, 2017, 21:04

Hi John,
that would be a big help. Also the other Jon (Jonbil) offered to take a look too. Perhaps we can get all three of us together (Lunch on me!!) and give it a damn good thrashing?

jvanzyl · January 16, 2017, 21:16

Hey Carolyn,
We've got a newborn so weekends are kind of fully booked for a while but I can certainly drive up in an evening to bring stuff to you?
Alternatively I work in Harpenden so if you're within 30 mins drive I could make to yours and back during the week?

That is what I had in mind

I'm available at the weekend if I can help.

That would be a big help. I'll call you. John can't make it but he's offered the loan of his kt (lovely bloke) for comparison purposes. I've got to go get it as he's busy being a Dad.

Maybe I can earn some positive karma with your engine, to spend on the Damn Z engine.

Happy to have you show me what the problems are and see what we can do to assist. (I think I know where I can get a few engine spares. like head and block... if required).

CrazySX · January 17, 2017, 11:23

I have 2 emanage blues. You can use one if you promise not to break it.

Carolyn · January 17, 2017, 11:55

That's a very kind offer. We already have two to play with. It's not the kit -it's the operator, I'm afraid. We'll get there. Big learning curve.

Ok no worries. Offer is there if you need it.

Going through the basic set-up once more to be sure. Can Schnazzle (Patrick, or other knowledgeable type) confirm jumper and rotary switch settings??

I have rotary switches: 4 2 2

Jumpers at factory default except J2 which jumped 2-3.

Am I correct?

shnazzle · January 17, 2017, 16:44

Pulled it out to take pics. Settle it for once and for all s:)

A full Screenshot of my settings and map can be found in my readers ride (see link in my signature) near the end

Brilliant. You star!!

Thanks - I've got spare heads & blocks, but I need to make this head work - too much investment already to give up :-) :-) :-)
There's nothing drastic, just an endless stream of niggles.
I thought I'd finished last weekend and started it up, only to discover the HG was leaking everything everywhere.
Which then revealed that the head bolts weren't torqued properly
which then revealed that my torque wrench (that snapped inside just after I'd finished assembly!) couldn't be trusted.
so I'm pressure testing the cooling system to be sure and then pulling then engine out again to retorque the main & rod caps.
aaaaagh.

I'm sure the emanage will be light relief!

Essex2Visuvesi · January 17, 2017, 20:31

If it wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all!

Carolyn · January 18, 2017, 15:05

Getting to grips with it now. The ignition harness came labelled for connections, and it seems they were wrong (or open to misinterpretation). Had two channels wrong (I think).
Any way, Jon and I will get to the bottom of that, I'm sure.
One more bit of info need as I'm assuming that nothing can be taken for granted.
What (Patrick? Pretty please) is the correct code for the airflow device in setting up parameters? There's one in there, but I need to double check.
