ECMlink 1g dsmlink fuel questions

[BoostinAWD]

Ok heres the dilema. Just got the car all put back together.

I have the dsmlink set for -42 on the maf settings with 350 dead time. About right for 780cc injectors right? I am still running the 1g base fuel pressure obviously because I havent got it started yet to adjust it.

Well the car won't start it tries to but backfires and the plugs smell rank with fuel.
I have the maf translator but it is for the 1g I have the settings zeroed out. Now I know its gonna read wrong, Right? So is that why its not starting because I need the maf translator for the 2g? I'm really confused, when I first tried starting the car I forgot to set it to 780cc's from 550's and the car made one hella loud pop out the exhaust, which it doesnt do now. But the car refuses to start, it kinda bla blah blahs at 350rpms while cranking it over but nothing.

Another question on wonderful Hal's 1g dsmlink guide it states

"The actual MAS reset and idle switch leads will vary depending on the model year of your 1g. If it's a 90, it's one set of pins, if its a 91 - 94, the same pins are used, but swapped. Remember the FSM in the required parts list? Get this wrong the car probably won't start."

I have a 90 model car and I used Hal's wiring diagram down to the nail. Did Hal base this off of a 90 model or 91-94 car which might explain why it wont start.
I have a question about this too, it states that pin 38 on 2g goes to 66/63 on 1g. So I connected both 66/63pins to pin 38 on 2g is that right?

I'm sure its something stupid, I hope one of you can point it out to me. I really want the car running again.

Thank you.
Chance

DSMLink Forum ( or is it a yahoo group, can't remember?)

 

[BoostinAWD]

yea a link to the yahoo group would be awesome.

The Yahoo group is dead. You want the DSMLink forums at:

http://www.dsmlink.com/forums/

Of course, you have to own a legitimate (ie. purchased from Tom and Dave, or had the ownership transferred to you) DSMLink to be admitted access to that (very useful) forum. And when you bought your DSMLink, you would have been given access to the forum. So if you're unaware of the existance of the forum, I'd guess that you don't have a legitimate copy of DSMLink.

But that's just a guess.

I assume you are running 2g DSMLink in a 1g.

You need to use the 2g MAFT, the ECU is expecting to see the 2g MAF signal.

Yea I got onto the dsmlink forums, seems as though my firing order may be off.

I have my 1g maf translator set for 550cc injectors to simulate a 2g maf. I will be getting a 2g translator soon. It never dawned on me until I tried starting the car unfortunately, that I needed a different translator.

Well swapped in new plugs and tried reversing 1 and 2, and 3 and 4. Still nothing. Car wont even backfire anymore.

Also the tach does not move at all when starting the car, if I recall it did the first few times. I'm confused

, MPI fuse was out. Purrs like a kitten now.

I just saw your thread on the DSMLink forums; I apologize for suggesting that you might not have a legitimate copy. Congratulations on getting everything back up and running! (I'll be glad when I can say the same. )

Now if anyone could tell me why my car wont idle once its warmed up that would be nice.
And wtf is causing my throw out bearing to rattle or whatever is rattling to rattle that would be nice .

Not even 2 miles on it, and its doing it again. 3 throw out bearings over the last 3 years and they all have done it. Don't think its crankwalk, would have died by now.

Input shaft on tranny, or possibly worn out clutch fork/pivot ball?
Maybe I should post a new thread.
