chris,
when you install the crystal for the uP oscillator, not only solder it on the bottom, but attach it to the top of the pcb with epoxy or hot glue or something. mine must have shook with engine rock and the effect showed on the o-scope sine wave sweep.
i hope theyve increased the termination pad size from when i built mine, as they were woefully small then.
i didnt build the sim, but did the relay board. guess i just planned on being lucky
are you using hi or lo-Z injectors? i STRONGLY suggest hi-Z. your ms FET bank will run much cooler and the I draw will be much less considering the limited vintage alt capabilities.
separate your input sig parameter wiring from your spark plug wires, as induction spikes from too close of placement will kill your uP... trust me!
unless theres a magic download im not aware of, get ready to datalog my friend!
