Checklist of major steps (of a successful install).
Skipping any of these steps makes support impossible or ineffective, and adversely effects the chances of success and happiness. * MembersPage (preferrably with 4..5 subpages for subsystems) ** project page is required for tech support. (otherwise optional) * pinout mapping (usually .xls) ** [Webshop] can wire ECxx pins to mot55 or mot88 pins based on xls. (similar to Audi 3B engine). ** installer can build custom harness, or customize [generic harness] * verify/measure/test * find similar engine .vemscfg (or .vemslog) and adjust (according to wiring; differences) ** refer to the information being used eg. the exact wiki pages or sections of [VT help]. Never assume that others see the same as you without referring exactly * check that the plans are as detailed as possible ** (number of cylinders, firing order, trigger type, type of ignition transformers/coils, wiring, vemscfg ...) ** ask for review (if it hasn't happened automatically; often you find suggestions as you go along documenting your plans, install and measurements) * start engine, capture logs * tune, capture logs If there is some project page with engine information, references + pinout mapping in xls, techies can review, make recommendations. * if a project follows these lines, the probability of success in reasonable time is great (and chances of hidden problems are small) => makes it possible for installer and tech support crew to see the exact same set of information and cooperate ** otherwise expect response : continue along these lines, fill in the missing bits ---- Notes, hints: * Use real PC with 14" .. 65" screen ! ** Android and I-phone is no substitute for a real computer. Wastes a lot of time, and often stands in the way of effective work, really * sometimes use paper, take notes ** make sure the spreadsheet and project page is updated soon with important notes, measurements, changes |
