5.9CR Pulsewidth/Timing Gauge

The only way to read it with the solus is if it is under the data stream where you can see all the sensors either through the PIDS or graphing or through the functional tests, you can also check fast track dats scan, im on my way to a pull but i have my Modis with me and will check through it to see if i can find it in there. As for the dot is it just on the screen or is the pixels gone it will probally need to be give to your dealer and sent in for repair, Solus or Solus Pro?

Pixels gone. I think it is a standard Solus, but I will check.
 
Well, I have to say the recent response is a bit more inline with what I had initially expected. When nobody responded to begin with I just figured I was lost as to what you boys were doing basically shooting blind on pw/timing on those things.

I have scoped pw and timing a LOT. In fact, my truck has a small deutsch connector permanently mounted to my engine harness for me to read the CPS and injector #1 any time I need to. I usually ride around with the scope sitting in the seat next to me.

As far as making something happen, I can do the software in a matter of hours, but making up the hardware would take me more time. I would need to scope a CR and note the exact connectors used on each sensor/injector needed.

Also, configuring it to recall maximum values and blink lights at certain values and such would be straight forward. Actually altering the timing wouldn't be all that hard either, although it would involve signal replication, not just monitoring. Which wouldn't be a big deal, just more involved.

I suppose a rail pressure interceptor could also be involved. Then you could display pw, timing and rail.


I honestly can't believe nothing like this exists for you guys.

Can't all this data be pulled from the drb port?

If it's anything like any other vehicle I've worked with, internal scan data is often times erroneous at best and outright retarded at worst.

I've got a couple friends with 5.9CR enigines, I might see if I can talk one of them in to letting me probe around under the hood with the scope sometime.

Really. How so? I find it funny that the ecu would report different data then what it's calling for. Could you show me more info on the subject?

You've honestly never run into a situation where scan data was in error?
 
I really hope this thread isn't dead! It was really starting to go in the right direction!

If I could be of any assistance with this, just let me know! I would really like to see something done with this. I would even bring my truck over (If I'm close enough. . . . )
I may also have a line on being able to look up those connectors that Chrysler used in there..... If I had one hooked up to my truck I would like it to be 'plug and play' so as to not modify the trucks wiring with cutting and 'pasting' into the wiring.
 
I'm thinking its going to be pretty water'd down. Besides with a tuner, and or stack a box, map means nothing, boost means nothing, rail means nothing.

Might be interest seeing what they are letting the ecu see....

That would be the beauty of directly measuring everything by pulling the info directly from the crank/cam sensor, number one injector and the rail pressure sensor.
 
I understand that the signal may have some loss between the ECU and injector. Also, if you drop a piggy back box on it the game changes. But how the heck does monitoring from the ECU give bad data, assuming your wires are good.

LOL Bad data in = bad data out right.....Your mp8 - timing box is feeding your ecu a load of chit, and thats what you get to see.

Its like plugging in your rail guage after the mp8, your reading the line of crap its sending to the ecu.
 
Who said I'll have my mp8 plugged in? I under stand the box fooling part. I'm trying to make sure other stuff is right before I mess with the mp8
