Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

Oh yeah, two more things I just recalled... 1.) The ECM still disconnects every time I do a burn (using TunerStudio and rusEFI software), and it will randomly disconnect when the engine is cranking/running. I have to reconnect via connection settings. 2.) When cranking, the LCD and TunerStudio shows...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

Here's my current tune:

[The extension msq has been deactivated and can no longer be displayed.]

As for injectors, the are 167cm3/min. I've researched and researched then I found it (when I first replaced the injectors before starting the rusEFI project). They are the same injectors they used on the 90's Cadillac.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

Now to figure out how to get the damn thing to "start" easily. It takes about a minute or so of cranking before it tries to fire. After it tries to fire, its 100% throttle (0% fuel while cranking) then another 45sec or so of cranking before it starts. Runs really rich on idle, clears up at...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

So, I put the fuel pump back on PE4, default inverted. Put the ground lead to bat+ and its working now.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

Ah now I see...hahaha.

So, yellow wire = MAIN relay (12v+ when ignition is on)
Grey wire = (rusefi - fuel pump default-inverted) so when rusefi requests fuel pump, it "grounds" the grey wire.

Or, if that doesn't work, then like you said I'll find an injector driver not used for it.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

Question for the electronics gurus here... Will this relay work for my fuel pump? Fuel pump requirements: 12v DC, 25amp Relay link: https://www.amazon.com/Yeeco-Current-Normally-Electric-Transfer/dp/B00R7TTSMI/ DC5v30A It appears that the trigger (rusefi side) is 5v, and the control (fuel pump side)...

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

Ok, so I know what's going on with the fuel pump...It's not getting enough amps to push the relay to start the pump. I've tested with voltmeter and here's what I get... Without relay connected it pushes 13.3v, once I put relay in line, it drops to 5.7v. The relay is a 12v30/40amp relay to run the fu...

Ok, so that fixed that error. Now I get the TPS error is too low (-17%)

Also, I now have no signal going to my ignition controller, and no fuel pump signal. Well, I think I'll be double checking everything now...haha

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

By any chance, can I get the settings for the miata 1.6l?

Mainly fuel, cranking (timing, dwell, etc). Basically what it needs to start and run (fuel map, tps multiplier, coolant multiplier)

I'd like to see if it works better than sitting outside at 0degrees guessing.

Re: 1990 Geo Storm GSI - Advice/Suggestions? #18

Correct, since day 1 - I have had intermittant (random) connection drops on both tunerstudio and rusefi.

The new java version seems to have resolved the issue - the software now opens, in a few I'll go out and see if it can connect.

The o2 sensor I purchased was this one: WO2's come in different variations, most common are LSU 4.2's and LSU 4.8's. I'm sure OEM's use different variants, or perhaps they meet one of the LSU specs. If you don't get the a controller that matches your WO2, it probably won't work well. Best to get a c...
