Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

I have attached some specific pictures of the coil. This is my old one that's been replaced. Also when attempting to follow the wiki, I've got the engine sniffer tab active, when cranking it goes for about 30sec then re-initializes the com port. It doesn't show any readings before re-initialization....

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Ok, so right now I'm at a loss... I've tried multiple different trigger settings, but none produce any output. The CAM LED flashes when turning over - at, what appears, the correct time. It's a 4 tooth trigger (see previous pictures). I'm connected directly to the red plug (white and green wires). I...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Now, I've been looking everywhere in the software on where to change the trigger settings. It's probably right in front of me and I'm just blind today, but could someone "spell it out" for me please, ie; click here, click there, drop down here and BOOM! you got it... The dev console...wher...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Well, that was no success (RPM staid at 0)... White => cam signal in Green => cam neg & tried ground Do I dare put green on +5v? Its your basic "coil" of copper wire. Has approximately 750Ohm resistance. Thoughts? (It is a hall effect sensor) ********************************** Let me c...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

I can figure something out to get in there. The pickup coil wires are White and Green (Red plug). My thoughts are - remove the ignition module, and run wires directly from the pickup coil. I would assume green goes to sensor ground and white would go to Cam signal in? So, here's what I have: IMG_201...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Yes, it's an HEI 8pin. So, the suggestion we have is to go with a crank sensor vs the cam sensor (distributor) right? Now, I need to install a crank sensor then. Any good after market "easy" installs out there for a 4cyl?

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Ok, so here's what I found online. Now I "would" like to run the coil separately because I have a performance 2 wire coil I'd like to wire in a performance coil. I don't care how the distributor is setup, I'd prefer to keep it intact but I don't mind removing "stuff" that isn't n...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Ok, so now I'm to the distributor and coil...

The way this is setup, the coil is directly connected to the distributor. The distributor has a "hi", "lo", "bypass", and "est". My question is this: How should I wire this in?

Thank you.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Nope, that bugger lit up like a christmas tree going to ground... I just verified that I'm a vin-code 5 (not 6), so the schematics I posted are correct. Think I see the issue... It's not "RED-GRN"(A6) I need, it's the "BLK-YEL => WHT-GRN" (D12) that I need. Of course RED-GRN is h...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Perfect, thank you for the information on the baud rate.

Ok, now for the Main Relay...It shows in the picture that it is an output (green text), however when the ignition is on the wire pushes 12v to the ECM. As an output, I thought the ECM should be pushing out to the relay, not the other way.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

A friend brought it up to me that maybe I have the baud rate wrong. Can you verify this for me please.

I'm currently connected at 38400.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

It's the ruseEfi console. So, my next step - I would assume is the fan relay...it is also 12v. Do I need to add jumpers for that, and if so which one? Then, I'm assuming, I'd have to change the output pin like I did for the fuel pump relay.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Ok, so I've got it back in the car. I tested the output for the fuel pump relay (PE4), and when pressing fuel pump "test" nothing happens. However, when resetting or initial power on it shows 12v (12.95 per battery). When the fuel pump relay is connected, it will turn on when reset or init...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Perfect, I've moved the jumper from P605 to P606. Changed the Fuel Pump to PE10, and moved Ignition 4 to PE4 (basically traded spots). Is there anything else I need to do before testing the fuel pump relay?

Thank you for all your help.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

I don't mean to sound like an ignorant fool, but which jumper(s) would be the ones I should place on 12v (assuming I will have 4 coils)? I'm not able to see what you're talking about regarding the PE10, PE12, PE14, etc. I've looked at the picture from http://rusefi.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manual:Ha...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

So, I have the jumper installed. But what settings do I change in the program? In the future, I do plan on having 4 coils for the engine. At this moment, I's only one for "proof of concept". IMG_20160406_091923.jpg Another thing I noticed, when using TunerStudio or the program provided (vi...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

The fuel pump relay wire that originally came off the old ECM, when put on hot +12v, the pump turns on and when grounded nothing happens. So with that, I would assume it is controlled by a high side. Now, if necessary, I can create my own low side relay to run the original fuel pump relay system (an...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions?

Ok, so I have power. I tried to connect the fuel pump out to the fuel pump relay, but when I do the bench test to test the fuel pump, nothing happens. It is pushing 3.2v to the relay at all times. Doesn't matter if I push test or not. What would be the course of action here? The relays are all 12v r...

Perhaps someone can give me some assistance here. Now, I'm not wanting to sound stupid - I just don't want to burn this up before I get it in correctly. So, I'll upload a picture of the wiring diagram for my current ECM. What I'm looking for is this - Pin to Pin wiring (remember no A/T); ie. OLD ECM...

Sorry for the delay in my replies. To answer some of the questions- The "igniter" (ignition control) is located in the distributor. It has been replaced with a new one, along with a new induction coil. Basically, I've replaced all the core parts for any ignition and fuel system device - wi...
