Sensors and out puts calibration

Let's start with the basic check list:

1. Install the MS(Meagsquirt) in the car.
2. Install TS(TunerStudio) on a laptop and check connectivity to the MS.
3. Start a new project and set it up.
4. Configure "Required Fuel"
5. Verify all the sensors communicate with TS.
6. Load base maps for your car/engine.
7. Car starts ? good ! turn it off, does not start ? check 1-4.
8. Base timing light gun test.

Tuning order:

Required Fuel:

Setting up "Required Fuel" right will make an injectors change easy and simple.
If you do not set it up you will have to tune again...





Nothing much here, just type in your engine displacement, number of cylinders, injector flow and stoich  AFR for your engine (gasoline is 14.7:1)

Set it up right on your first steps will make injectors change (to smaller/bigger) EASY.

Do it !


Engine off:
First thing to do is calibrate your sensors.


Calibrate TPS - Throttle position
Calibrate Thermistor Tables --> IAT - Intake air temperature (GM open element IAT sensor)





Calibrate Thermistor Tables --> CLT - Coolant temprature (Original Mazda CLT sensor)




Calibrate AFR Table - Air fuel ratio sensor - Wideband - If connected to MS.

Are we good ? ok.

Next we need to setup our "Programmable on/off outputs", in my case I had only the radiator fan behavior to setup.


Check "Enable" to make the settings operational
Set "Power On Value" to "Off" - default behavior of the fan is off.
Set "Active value" to "On" - when triggered we want the fan to start.
Set "Output Channel" to "coolant" 
Set ">" - meaning only when the coolant is > (higher then...)
Set "Threshold" to the temp you would like the fan to start at (90C-95C I think is normal)
Set "Hysteresis" to how much coolant temp should drop below threshold before fan off.

  1. In Step 7, when you start the car, should you expect it to idle normally? Is it problematic if idle is rough, around 400 rpm?

  2. Are your Values for Calibrate Thermistor Tables correct as pictured? Mine shows differently in the Common Sensor Values for both IAT and CLT

  3. As I wrote, the IAT is GM open element and the CLT is the stock mazda sensor.
    It could look different then your values at first sight, you should check closely, I believe we use the same curve just with different points on it.

  4. Hey man, I have a 91 Miata with msp2. Can this site be benificial to me?

  5. Sure, read around MSPNP2 and DIYPNP are the same.
