Finally posting my 3400 build

Sounds good Dave, I really appreciate all of the help that you have given me. I'll send you a PM with my address. I believe that the bin is uploading to the Ostrich but is not communicating with tha ECM. It could be becuase of a bad ribbon cable or a bad memcal adapter, I 'm not sure which it is yet. I want this thing running asap because it's killing me to have it done but not running. LOL

[Superdave]

well, i enhanced the images a little but it looks like everything is hooked up right. I compared it to mine and it looks the same.


If you want, i can send you a socketed memcal to try out... that would eliminate the Moates adapter, maybe even a burnt chip of that tune to try and eliminate the Ostrich as the problem.

[johnnymossville]

Thanks Brad, I'll try that.

Once you upload to Photobucket, you need to copy the IMG tag shwon in the box belwo the photos and paste it into your message...

[johnnymossville]

Ok,here are pics if it works. lol


well it didn't work yet, I am trying to use the photobucket upload apparently without success.

[Superdave]

can you get some pics of your memcal, Ostrich and adapter plugged in to the ECM ?

[johnnymossville]

Same as before. This is starting to bite my ass. lol

[johnnymossville]

Ok, I just did that and checked my memcal adapter and cable again. I'll go out and try it again. Thanks Dave

[Superdave]

go to the Preferences menu, Emulation tab, and make sure all of the boxes are checked, including the "disable checksum" option.. try that

[johnnymossville]

Well, here is where I'm at. If I totally remove the Ostrich 2.0 and put the chip-set back in stock, the fan doesn't come on and everything appears nomal but of course it won't run my setup. TunerPro says that my bin. has been uploaded to the Ostrich and it says that it is emulating but the fan and CEL come on when the key is turned on which I believe that it is in limp mode. I have hooked the Ostrich up every way possible, with and without the socket booster, spacer, and hooked the cable directly to the memcal adapter. It doesn't seem to matter how I hook it up, it still isn't working! Anyone have any suggestions?

.060 is what the gen3 3x00's use. So stick with that for starters. http://60degreev6.com/forum/f86/spar...003#post328559

[Superdave]

I am thinking that it might be in limp mode or something because the cooling fan and the CEL stay on the whole time the the key is on and when it is running. Thoughts?

Yah, it's in limp mode...


re-upload the bin to the ostrich.. that might help.


also, the ostrich isn't plugged in backwards to the memcal is it?

the gap is usually deturmined by the displacement, i'm running .060 on mine w/o problems.

[gpse3400]

Don't gap them larger. Is it tuned for the injectors?

I rember I had my engine plugs gaped at .060...It ran..Could it have ran better???I know the egr being stuck on in the winter didnt help....
