MS-2 no fuel pump prime

Post by Volky »

Hi to all,

Yesterday I was using the ign. menu and left it on semi-seq by mistake and the car was stumbling, etc. I was thinking what's wrong then I went to the relay board and saw the FP connector melted #%^*.

After that, NADA. I went to TS and saw it at semi-seq so I changed it back knowing it won't start and it didn't start, no prime.

I revised the relay board for continuity on the connections and it checks out. I kept troubleshooting then noticed I had no 12v since it's connected to the gauges, so if no gauges I know the 12v is gone. Checked the fuse and blown. Changed it and blown.

I took the FP line off and put the DVM on continuity to ground and it beeped. So, I guess the cable melted somewhere in time. I put that same 12v line to 12 volts and you can here it pumping.

Been reading around the web about Q2 and Q19 on the board. I was thinking of flashing the MS to see if it works again. No burnt parts seen or smells.

I really don't want to buy another MS but if I have to I'll buy the MS-3.

What a costly error...so much for the weekend.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What mainboard?
Put it on your stim on the bench (you Do have a megastim or a Jimstim, right?) and you can check it out in seconds.
DIYautotune and other have very reasonable repair rates, most things are fixable, cheap.

zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Pile,

The board is V3.0.

I do have a Stim but is the normal one. I put it on and it just lit the PMP led.

TS sees the MS2 and when turning the knobs it responds. It also light up SYNCED. The Stim doesn't light anything. The PMP led turns off and if I turn RPM if flickers lightly.

With that Stim I don't get RPM's.
