The idle stepper setup can be a bit tricky.

I thought that mine was sticking, but I had not set the "Start" value high enough.

This needs to be high enough to fully retract the pintle when you turn on the ignition.

My stepper of a peugeot needs 360 steps to fully retract the pintle.

The "Start" value is steps opening. All the other values are steps closing. Can be a bit confusing to start with.

I need to tweak Megatune to allow me to close my stepper by 360 steps. It's currently limited to 300 so air is always flowing through the idle valve.

Indeed,

I only started getting my head around it properly yesterday,

aparently 0 steps is fully open, i thought it was fully closed (read it somwhere) so due to that i must have wired the stepper back to front.

the annoying thing is it has been working on closed loop but intermitantly, but i'm sure i read that the code is not 100% reliable for that yet.

I am going to ditch the dodgy home made adaptor between the stepper and cavalier TB as I have found that a fiesta one should bolt straight on.

finally got an idle valve that will work, full travel is 222 steps (for my future reference lol)

also putting the dash together now, works style with touch screen, and lots of chavy gauges that i'll fit tomorow.

mmmmmmmmmmmm

Nice!

Fuckety fuck....

My LC1 has died

No idea why, it just started sitting at fully rich in megatune, checked the outputs with a meter and theres 0-0.6v on the WB output instead of 0-5v

still on the bright side the turbo seems to start making boost when you rev the engine with no load, enough to blow of the pipes i had pushed on.

does the lc-1 work thro the laptop still?? .. my lc1 died a month or so back after may years of faithfull service. the analogue outputs jsut went flat. aparently its a known issue with earlier units :( still worked off the laptop till i had a misshap involving the lambda sensor wiring and the clutch release arm and now its let out all its magic smoke and doesnt work atall :(

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

dunno,

I have no way of connecting to the serial at the moment, I have 2 tempremental usb cables, one worked on my laptop, but i lost the drivers and cant get it working again, so I'm using my bro's laptop, trouble is all the inovate software is on my laptop and the inovate disc is screwed...

I have had a google round and aparently the analog outputs are a little delicate, if you short them they will die, I mam positive i havent shorted them though, I've stuck in a narrowband but either megatune or the ecu dosent want to seem it so i have the narroband on a multimeeter at the moment, I'm wondering if the O" input has died on the ecu and taken the LC1 with it....

weeeelll,

had a bit of a dig and found this, the link in the second post is usefull too.

I think a spike must have killed it while cranking. think ill grab a DAC and replace it and add the protection.

got a friend if you need some electronic wizardry done Joe.

Cheers,

should be ok, I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron.

Well,

been for a drive today!

seems to corner and stop ok considering the geometry is bollocks.

no boost yet as i'm waiting for spme hoses to turn up so i had chavs looking to see what the horrendous wooshing was lol.

discovered a bit of an issue, horrendous clutch slip.... resulting is a top speed of about 50

still, i'll limp out and get some tyres tomorow and take it for mot.

good luck with MOT!

yep good luck!

Awwwww, cheers guys!

you gonna be at MITP Andy?

hope it passes fella, love this thing

good luck.

Cool! Do you think it'll limp to MITP, for us nosey people to have a look?

Good luck with the MOT!

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Good luck Joe!

Clutch slip without boost? That's not good.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Like that alot. Dash looks cool too

Back once again like a renegade master

dunno,

if i can get it taxed mot'd and insured and pull the flywheel and my boost hoses turn up then i can spend sat maping the thing (which will mean teaching th mrs to drive megatune LOL) then yes.

bit miffed about the clutch tho, I'm sure it is the same assy that came off the car when i stripped it (several years ago...) which was ok at the time.

Did you get another innovate disc?? If not ill burn one for you if you pm me your address. (in swaps for your map when you get it right ;o) )

its not likly just to be contamination is it? nothing that will burn off?

David.

that would be great!

i'll pm my addr :)

jesus all day to change a clutch....

I think i know what hte problem was....

me being a clever cunt added so extra straps when I put it together, this stole some clamping pressure, and along with a bit of oil an me slipping the clutch getting it in and out of the garage has made it slippy...

also went to put my spare plate in to find its a 190mm injection one I just turned the fucker down and slapped it in, YeeHaa!

straight away it has loads more bite.

Oh and it was an orange cover, I didnt think they had the extra tangs?
