Summary of change:
After some consideration of my options, I'm almost set on going with VEMS for engine management. Anything that's cheaper is far less intelligent, anything that's more intelligent is also more expensive. The car is an '89 S13 200SX w/ a built CA18DET engine. 1809ccm, 4 cyl, turbocharged, intercooled, multipoint sequential FI, COP ignition. ---- === Starting attempt === Unsuccessful, won't start. Symptoms: * + engine cranks, RPM shows up, ~180 * + MAP shows 90kPa * - doesn't smell like fuel at all at the exhaust, I don't think fuel is injected. Cranking pulse is 1.9ms (1809 ccm disp., 1000cc injectors.) * - can't make triggerlog, after the first logged white(sectrigger?) pulse, RS232 communication is lost (returns in a few seconds after closing triggerlog window OR when cranking is stopped '''<- TBC which'''). When triggerlog window is not open during cranking, comms stay up. * / Nissan count shows 16. As in, '''16''' is the value shown in the Nissan count gauge. Not 104, which would mean 16 sectrig pulses, according to the manual. Is this bad, or was there an update in the software to show actual length but not yet updated in the manual? Because 16 '''is''' the correct length of the longest window, see CAS chapter below (16,12,8,4). * / '''TRIED''' both Pri.trigger settings of Rising edge/60 BTDC, and Falling edge/28 BTDC, no difference * / '''TRIED''' also Nissan_SR20_16_4_8_12 trigger settings, which looked quite strange, no difference Will attach screenshot of triggerlog in the evening, but as described, one white pulse, and it's over, comms break. ::At 115200 and 57600, triggerlog freezes communications. ::http://gtlamateurfest.uw.hu/nissan/2013-01-CAS-oscope/triggerLog_57600_115200.jpg :: '''Sometimes''' there are 2, 3 sectriggers recorded, sometimes even a primary, well, it's a game of luck, depending on the position the engine stopped last time, I suppose. :: The triggerlog is '''functional''' at 19200, but secondary pulse count was incorrect. In the one issue I've tried, 167 sec pulses were counted between two primaries. There must be 90. '''Suggestions received from VEMS support:''' * move RS232 ground to EC18-pin17 :: * no change, but RS232 comms definitely problematic :: * when COM port in Win Dev Mgr is configured at above 19200, VemsTune data reception is laggy, intermittent. E.g. I keep moving the throttle pedal, and every 3 seconds, there's a 1 second pause in the gauge. A '''power cycle''' of the ECU fixes this, as it falls back to 19200. * So, high-speed serial doesn't work, that's one thing, but the engine not firing at all feels unrelated to this. '''Ideas:''' * increase injector latency at 8 and/or 10V? Got the latency values off the Internet, seemed credible, though. ---- '''Q/A With Vems Support''' Lets start with the basics, to diagnose why you might be having problems getting the engine started, could you provide: * triggerlog of engine cranking 8-10 seconds no ignition or injection fuse; a common cause for triggerlog failing is either ** cranking too short (keep a minimum of 8-10 seconds) ** ecu reset when starting to crank caused by power dips, easily solved by connecting a strong battery near the engine not in the booth or using some small battery. * triggerlog of engine cranking 8-10 seconds no ignition or injection fuse '''in safe mode''', to trigger safe mode, change VT->Ecu calibration, prohibit low byte from its current value to some other value and burn, remember to put back the original value when done * vemslog of a similar cranking sequence (cranking 8-10 seconds, no fuses) Please upload these files with appropriate names to FileArea (or other storage space) and link here I'll review and make some suggestions on how to proceed (and what to adjust). Thanks! Best regards, Dave ---- '''Re: Q/A With Vems Support''' Hi Dave, my problems at the moment are twofold: * 1. high-speed serial comms do not work (see above, 19200 works, more is problematic) * 2. engine won't fire Do I need to fix #1 before I can address #2? I have the Nissan stock CAS, that's 180 sectrig pulses per crank rotation. This is the highest frequency of all CAS's out there that I know of. Do I need higher RS232 speeds than 19200bps to make an accurate triggerlog and/or vemslog? I don't think my ECU resets during cranking, I get continous quick updates of the Vbatt value in VemsTune during cranking @~8V, I'm guessing serial comms would disconnect, and the gauge would freeze, if the ECU would reset due to low voltage. I can make logs tomorrow afternoon, if 19200bps is enough. Kind Regards, Balazs ---- Hello Balazs, A1. Serial comms over 19200 is not needed at cranking, if your serial communication is working stable at 19200 no need to worry. A2. We are not aiming to actually start the engine just yet, first we need to diagnose if everything on trigger side is working properly A3. ~8v during cranking is definitely way too low, attach a big fully charged battery to front with proper jumper cables (no booster) as suggested by me earlier. To get to the bottom of this: * apply trigger configlet: "Nissan_4cyl_SR20_360_16-4-8-12_Camsync" '''do not make any setting changes to this, even if it looks strange''' and press burn * power cycle the ecu * make sure you have 4 window sensor connected to primary trigger * make sure you have the 360 window sensor connected to secondary trigger * supply the triggerlogs and vemslogs i for earlier (using that exact procedure) and upload the actual triggerlog and vemslog files (not png screenshots or other) somewhere, link them here. I'll review and make some suggestions on how to proceed (and what to adjust). Thanks! Best regards, Dave ---- Hi Dave, I've uploaded a .triggerlog and .vemslog with the Nissan_SR20_16-4-8-12 trigger defaults (powercycled the ECU after burning). They are of the same cranking run. http://www.vems.hu/files/BlownHemi_11454/ I didn't do the prohibit_h thing, I just pulled off injection and and ignition in the engine bay (it's quite quick and simple in my case, just 2 connectors next to each other). I've charged my battery, last time it was seriously depleted from all the cranking I did before. It's now cranking ~9.5V, as you'll see from the vemslog. After I made the logs, I've also cranked a long one with injection and ingition in place. I took a few deep whiffs afterwards from the tailpipe, and it's as if I can detect a faint smell of gasoline. What's a realistic cranking VE value? Is the cranking pulsewidth in the ballpark for this configuration, conditions (~25*C)? 1.8 liters, 4cyl, 1000cc low imp. injectors? Also, for some reason, from time to time, I find that injector settings change from Simplified to Traditional. Simplified was my setting, but I've checked after the logged cranking, and again it has gone back to Trad.. I've set it back again to Simp. During the logs it was still Trad. Does the Nissan_SR20 default or something else implicitly change this setting? The triggerlog look quite different from when I've tried with my own settings. Without the Nissan_SR20 defaults, I had lots of white columns with some blue columns, now it's just blue+green pairs, no whites. I'm guessing this setting changes internal trigger behavior substantially. I've looked at quite a few pages in the wiki and almost all of the manual during the research phase, and didn't find any details about these trigger options. It's just a basic "if you have this, select that" guide. I'm not expecting a deep system level documentation about the workings of the trigger circuit/software, but a ''bit'' deeper explanation might aid in self-diagnosis for those of us who are not just pure petrolheads, but engineers as well. Thank you in advance for any help, Kind Regards, Balazs ---- Hello Balazs, I have reviewed your files: * triggerlog looked good, no issues there * vemslog did seems to have missed the cranking section, all it contained was some throttle blips, no rpm; perhaps you included the wrong one ? * triggerlog with prohibit enabled is still needed to rule out any secondary trigger/sync issues, please upload this together with the vemslog containing small cranking rpm. No need to worry about any fuel related now, first im trying to diagnose (remotely) if the basic requirements are in place, '''this is needed before all else'''. Thanks! Best regards, Dave ---- Hi Dave, I've added two new .vemslogs, dated 18:20-ish, made in Safe Mode. I don't know if recording a triggerlog and recording a vemslog are mutually exclusive, if they are, probably that's why the previous one doesn't contain anything, both are from the same cranking, when I've activated trigger logging. Forgot the triggerlog in safe mode, I'll make one tomorrow. '''P.S.''' one change I've made for these two logs is, I've doubled my req_fuel. When I've configured it initally, I halved it, just like I read in the guides, in preparation for doubling the VE resolution this way, but after halving the calculated req_fuel, I forgot completely to actually double table/cranking VE's. I've turned off safe mode, and it definitely smells like fuel now. Still won't fire though, pity, I really though that was gonna be it. Kind Regards, Balazs ---- Hello Balazs, * vemslog and triggerlog are '''NOT''' mutually exclusive that's why i asked for both * i requested until all verifications are complete you '''run these tests without IGN and INJ fuses''' (or you can unplug the connectors to ignition and injectors as you elaborated before). * there is a proper order to preparing a car for first startup: ** determine correct trigger handling and setup/connections (that's what we are doing right now) ** verify if coils can be sparked in test mode (with plugs outside the engine) ** verify correct firing order in Ignition outputs visual and correct TDC after the trigger using timing light ** only after completing all of the above is it needed to reconnect the injectors and worry about fuel related settings Best regards, Dave ---- Hi Dave, I've uploaded a triggerlog made in safe mode, dated 09.26.55. Kind Regards, Balazs ---- Hello Balazs, Safe mode is enabled, good; but your triggerlog does not contain any engine cranking, reminder of what is needed: * triggerlog of engine cranking 8-10 seconds no ignition or injection fuse '''in safe mode''' Thanks! Best regards, Dave ---- Hi Dave, maybe I'm doing this all wrong then. Since I don't see any Start/Record or Stop/Save buttons, I assumed by opening Tools/Record_Triggerlog the recording starts, and closing this window stops and saves it to the auto-dated filename. Is that how recording works, or am I missing something? Kind Regards, Balazs ---- Hello Balazs, Opening the triggerlog dialog starts the recording, correct; But without you cranking the engine (while the triggerlog capture is running) trigger pulses are not captured. If needed you can Stop and Start the recording with Start V3 and Stop V3 in left bottom corner. * more triggerlog help is available in the VT program (see help) or online: http://vems.hu/vt/help/main/tools/triggerlog.html Best regards, Dave ---- Hi Dave, so, the problem with the triggerlog was the following. 8-10sec cranking wasn't enough. That's why you didn't see the cranking in the previous triggerlog. I had to crank for 13-14secs, for any data to actually show up, even data '''from 6-7 seconds before'''. When I stopped at 10 seconds on previous occasions, this didn't happen, the log stayed empty except for the safemode indicators. I've now uploaded a triggerlog that actually contains something besides the safemode indicators, I hope it proves useful. Kind Regards, Balazs ---- Hello Balazs, I have reviewed: v3.3_u011454-2016-08-07-16.25.11.GOOD.triggerlog, looks good; we now have confirmed good trigger operation (of both primtrig and sectrig) on engine. Its now time to advance to the next tests: * make sure Safe Mode is disabled and reconnect the coils (coils only no injectors) * verify if coils can be sparked in test mode (with plugs outside the engine) in Ignition outputs visual. * verify correct firing order in Ignition outputs visual and correct TDC after the trigger using timing light ** set cranking advance (VT->Start/Idle->Priming/Cranking/Afterstart->Cranking advance) to 0 degrees and make a TDC mark at 0 degrees on crankshaft pulley ** with timing light verify ignition advance ** adjust primary trigger->tdc after the trigger if needed or if deviation is bigger than 180 degrees adjust output rotation. * only after completing all of the above is it needed to reconnect the injectors and worry about fuel related settings Best regards, Dave ---- Hi Dave, * coils can all be sparked in test mode on the right outputs * timing lined up perfectly with crank pulley marks (shifted ignition outputs down by one, and increased '''TDC after''' to 112 degrees) Regards, Balazs '''Addendum:''' Thank you for the help so far! * Shifted ignition outputs another two steps down, since the above still didn't result in a running engine. Aligned injector outputs to ignition outputs. * '''Engine now runs''', but won't hold idle, has to be kept alive by throttle application. Idle reference curve setting has zero effect. No access anywhere to measure actual voltage on IAC solenoid, unfortunately. Can't remove the valve either to check visually, I can't access the bottom bolt at all. I'll check continuity from harness to the idle solenoid again, lacking a better idea. But since the stock ECU had no problem starting and holding idle with this same valve, I suspect a misconfiguration, but I have no idea where. I've connected it to InjH output, configured it to InjGroup 7 channel on the dialog. It show up in the Idle config and the Outputs dialog correctly as well. '''Addendum2:''' I've taken out the Injector H pin (EC36-pin17) from the connector, grounded it, RPM jumped up by 500. So, IAC hardware is working correctly. There's something not right on the VEMS side. It is configured to InjGROUP channel 7 non-inverted. I'm assuming, maybe wrong, that this is the Injector H ch.128 output, EC36-pin17? Reference DC curve is set to 95% all the way from cold to warm. Changes here have no effect. ---- Hello Balazs, Great to hear you were able to complete the steps in order and to have it resulting in a running engine! I would recommend one change still: * your TDC after the trigger is outside of the recommended range of 60-70 degrees for simple trigger. i know that the trigger itself can be rotated on the sr20 (and alike), please adjust the trigger counter engine rotation by ~20deg on cam so your tdc after the trigger drops to around 62-65ish. Regarding the idle control, if you post a vemslog of engine running (which also has your current configuration) and link here i can review what might be causing the issue. Best regards, Dave ---- Hi Dave, I've uploaded my current config and a vemslog dated 2016-08-15. My TPS is at 3%, I've gapped it with a washer so that I don't have to keep my foot on the pedal. Otherwise, it is otherwise calibrated correctly at 0-100. * I had to give back the timing light I borrowed, so I can't check timing for a while. What functional disadvantages and/or limitations are there while the TDC after is outside of the recommended range? Thank you, Kind Regards, Balazs ---- Hello Balazs, with the TDC after the trigger outside of the recommended range you might have some timing inaccuracies, i would strongly recommend to adjust it. I have reviewed your vemslog (v3.3_u011454-2016.08.15-17.36.42.vemslog) and was able to pinpoint the source of your IDLE problem, you have assigned the idle valve to INJgroup/7 (which is good) but you have not assigned a pin to this group in Base setup->Injector outputs visual (this needs adjusting) in your case you should tick the last checkbox to assign INJgroup/7 to EC36-pin17. From general running review it seems your engine is running quite uneven on cylinder 2 (see Injector calibration view), i suspect there might be some injector unbalance, HV leak, plug cable not properly connected or coil failure. Best regards, Dave ---- === WORK IN PROGRESS === ---- Aligning VEMS with the engine: ===== POWER ===== See FSM page {{EF&EC - 80}} for wiring diagram. (ECCS = ECU in Nissan CA18DET terminology) :Original ::The ignitions switch goes into the ECU, there it activates a low-side switch, which operates the ECCS relay.

'''TBC'''). * NPN (BC817 or similar with a 2k .. 2k7 base resistor) is usually better for such things. Less sensitive than FET (which can be killed more easily, and badly needs Rgs). ** Flyback is a good idea in any case (eg. 1n4007 diode across coil, with cathode on coil+. Some suitable diode is included in rescue kit) * Second idea for power... just because I have everything lying around for this. Don't know about the catch/flyback diode across the coil, I'd have to open up the relay housing for that, and they're sealed up tight. ::http://gtlamateurfest.uw.hu/nissan/2013-01-CAS-oscope/VemsPower2.jpg ====== MAIN INPUTS ====== '''Air metering''' :Original ::MAF :VEMS ::4bar MAP + IAT (already have both) ::MAP will be mounted externally, close to the IM, shortest possible tubing ::5V supply comes from the ECU ::IAT is a BMW type, res./temp diagram '''TBC''' :''Wiring changes - MAF'' ::Cut off MAF at the pigtail, it's 3 wires (12V, GND, signal).

It's a bit unclear, the ''TDC'' and ''angle'' signal has the same wire color (G/B). Label them before you cut.

The original system contains 4 separate items: 1) A mechanical valve that closes when the coolant heats up; 2) A mechanical screw for adjusting the base idle; 3) A PWM valve that only changes the revs about +-200 rpm when hot (too little to use just that); 4) A valve for extra air when A/C kicks in. ::::* Thanks for the info, didn't know the idle valve was too small, now I get why all that extra mess is there. I've planned to '''get rid of the on/off AAC''' (no A/C) and the mechanical air regulator, too. ::::** How about running both IAC and AAC off the same PWM signal? Would that work and have the capacity to regulate idle across the whole range? (I don't want to buy/build anything extra I don't necessarily need.) ::::** Or, is there a cheap, off-the-shelf or junkyard idle air valve from another make/model that would work in place of the mech. air regulator? I could install that in the parking lot. ::::*** Seems like a BMW M43-M50-M52 idle valves would almost work, except one of the 2 air hose diameters are not the same, as the CA18 air regulator.
