pjavon Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Can anyone tell me if the top wire (black/red) on this plug is live with the ignition on when it's unplugged (I mean the bit that would still be attached to the fuse box if that makes sense) I've connected everything up and the ecu has no power going to it, so no spark, so no start;) I've checked all the earths and all the plugs and all seems ok. This top black and red wire goes to the ecu's bottom right hand wire on the standard ecu which is supposed to be the power for my emanage but there is no power at this plug, The wire is ok as I've checked it with a meter and had the relays checked today and the fuses are OK. I've also tried another Main Ecu just incase but nothing. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Theres a gray wire that triggers the relay but I've no idea where it goes to. It is linked the the ECU plug as I've checked that and theres no break in the cable but were it goes in-between I've no idea. Has anyone got any ideas why this would all of a sudden have no power going to it, as far as I'm aware I haven't touched this wire. Seems such a simple problem to solve but it's being very illusive at the moment:) This is the relay and the wire comes out to a plug on the side of the fuse box and the gray wire then disappears up under the intake. This is how the wires are. If I put a wire from the black/yellow to the black/red it powers up both ECU's and the engine will fire, although as I say the Rev counter doesn't work for some reason:( Could someone put a test lamp on this (should be ignition Gray) wire and and confirm it's live when the ignitions on for me. As far as I'm aware I have not touched the Gray wire in the build, none of the ECU wires I've spliced or cut go to it unless it changes colour somewhere!!! I have connected into a RPM (red/yellow) and throttle (yellow) signal wires at the ECU though but they are only spliced in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Anyone? This seems such a simple problem but I just can't find anything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Have you put the grey Plug user the dash back in the correct place mate. It will fit in other slots , it's an easy mistake to make. Reading more I'd say that's what you've done. I did the same thing the fist time I swapped an engine. I put the grey plug in a white slot and it fits perfectly. But it actually goes in a slot further under the dash Edited August 12, 2012 by dr_jekyll (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Also make sure the snap clip on the orange plug is all the way down ANC clipped rite in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is good again in NA-T world:d Just need to sort the exhaust out now. Craig with the emanage blue set as default (i.e. as it comes out of the box) can you rev the car a bit to see if everything is ok once or twice or is it a no no until it's mapped.

dr_jekyll Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yes mate but only stationary . If you drive the car little throttle and watch you boost gauge to stay in vacuum and it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm having problems connecting the emanage to the laptop now, any top tips on that mate? My green light is flashing and the orange interaction light is permanently lit (which I know it shouldn't be), I've no idea why. One last question what do you set the rotary switches inside the panel 7,4,0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I regularly buy (then drop, break or won't buy a new battery) cheap laptops with true serial ports. I have learnt that with a lot of ecu control software it's the most painless route. That and running XP, nothing newer, and nothing 64 bit..... You may find a PCMIA serial port card will work. Of the serial port to USB adaptors the only one I have had much joy with is a genuine Aten one, which is what Motec guardedly recommend to those who won't buy their hugely expensive USB cable.

pjavon Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Mmmm OK thanks guys. Wheres the best place to by a cheap laptop with a serial port then? I can't find one at all, never mind cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Maybe try eBay, or if you have a a cash generator worth a look there, if no luck at those 2 maybe try the charity shops. Most PC retail shops wouldn't stock or put out anything more than a few years old & com ports were much older than that, so would probably have no joy in those.

Noz Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I just used a USB to printer cable, worked fine for me got real time logging from my emanage? Am I missing something, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes, ecu's are fickle, if the software was riginally designed for a true serial port connection alot of the stuff plain doesn't work with an adaptor. I got some off Ebay and two off the forum here. If you are flush some Toughbooks still have true serial ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something, From what I've read the Ultimate connects better than the Blue mate. I did try one of them leads though just incase and it didn't work:(, thanks for the tip though. Thought I'd do some action shots;) of the exhaust/ de-cat pipe fabrication. Cutting the de-cat On the T.I.G tacking it up ready for sorting the rest out tonight. Cutting a strip of stainless for the de-cat bracket I got in done in record time tonight as I had some professional help, a 5 year old and two staffies:D All ready for the final weld tomorrow now:tbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
