[BNE] Looking to borrow a Megasquirt to test if mine is dead

Postby Hugo999 » Mon Oct 09, 2017 2:40 pm

Hello all,
I have a NA6 mx5 that has a DIYPNP megasquirt on it. The car developed a misfire under load about a month ago. It will misfire when trying to go up a hill, or just after being under load for a minute or more. I have tested all the ignition parts (coil pack, CAS, plugs and leads, wires going between everything, ignitor) and cannot find any fault to cause this. This points me towards the ecu being the fault. I have had the car at automotive plus but they have no idea what the fault is.

I am hoping that someone in Brisbane has a megasquirt that could work on my car and would be willing to let me put my tune on it and drive the car up the road and back to check if it still misfires. I am more than happy to pay you for this. I know it's a long shot, but hoping to diagnose this before dropping a lot of money and time on getting a new ecu which may or may not be the issue.

The car is currently stuck at my house in Coorparoo (South Brisbane) and basically runs just well enough to get to the top of the street and back.
