Megatune (now MJLJ Configurator v3.0)
Turbo Mini Forums

Everytime I try to start up Megatune this appears:



no i know that the MJLJ is connected to COM3, and I know thats what Ive got it set to in comunications...

I dont speak computer, so was hoping someone could tell me what the fuck this means?

(tried searching MSEFI and even google doesnt bring anything up)

If anyone canhelp Id be exremely appreciative

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I should also mention that if I change it to COM1 or COM2 in COmmunications (but have nothing attached to those ports) the problem goes away, so its definately the MJLJ causing the computer to spit this out...i think...?

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

i think its something to do with the code variant i should be using, Ive gone into car1 and tried "# set" next to all the different types now but with no sucess..

ive not done anything like this with computers before, all a massive learning curve...

Does anyone know what code variant i should be using?

Its a MJLJ V2....i presumed it would be either MSNEDIS or MSNEDISmod, but neither of these want to play ball?

Anyone??

I though MegaTune was only for MegaSquirt, not Mega Jolt.

This is the config software I'm using:

Also for some reason my MJ comes up as being on com port 7, but I'm guessing that's down to my USB adaptor.

oh well, only 3 hours wasted!!

hahah LOL

will that work with a v2 MJLJ?

thanks Rob

I'm running v2 MJLJ and it works for me.

Most OS / USB-serial adapters combinations default to either COM7 or COM8. Causes me untold problems at work with older software that doesn't have port configuration options!!!

I only had a 5 minute play with one of Rob's MJlj's and it all worked first time for me once I'd got the port ID's set-up. It's one of those things that if it seems right it probalby is ... if it seems wrong, have a cuppa whilst you think it through and it'll soon be running!!!!


Good luck matey

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Wow, that looks a much nicer layout than Megatune.

How do you know when its 'talking' to the mjlj?

does it pop with a window confirming it? or anything, only ive tried all 10 ports now and nothing, maybe im expecting something to happen that wont...?

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

will all other com# it comes up with:



(im talking about the text at the bottom under the rpm gauge)

i cant find much info about this program, do you think its just problems with the usb adapter im using?

Also, will the program run on windows 95? as ive bought a laptop for the garage.....

I don't think its been tested on 95- but give it a wirl, it might do!

as on Messenger...

if you update to V3 software on the PC you need to update the ECUs software to the same level. This is called updating the Firmware

I'll take you through it on messener if ya like :)

Righteo, tried it on a mates pc with a serial cable and hey presto it works (on COM1)!




looks like the usb adapter ive got has got aids, dug my old desktop out of the attic (256 processor dont you know...LOL) today and will see if it still works tonight (if i can find the keyboard).


Thanks for the help/advice alex

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

er, just one more question, why is my ecu saying that its 100kPa?

surely it should be reading that high???

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

thats atmospheric pressure. 100kPa = 1 bar

Take a look at this post on the megajolt forum, i had a similar problem with the 3.0 software (which i believe is being sorted) but the software that 4600cc posts works fine with my usb/serial adaptor. Worth a try.

Rob is spot on there
