PlugIn Installation Manual

First Time Startup

After performing all set-up instructions given in previous sections, including trigger calibration, the engine is

now ready to be started. The following procedure should be used for first time start-up.

Turn the ignition key OFF then ON. The fuel pump should prime momentarily upon power up.

Connect the ECU to PCLink.

Access the runtimes values by pressing the F12 Key, click the 'Analog' tab:

TPS – spans from 0 to 100% when throttle is pressed. If not, perform a TPS Calibration.

MAP – should read approx 101 kPa (at sea level) with the engine not running. If not, check the MAP

Sensor Type setting and perform a MAP Calibration.

ECT – should read current engine temperature.

IAT – should read current intake air temperature.

Digital Inputs (click the 'Digital' tab) – Operate switches connected to any digital inputs while watching

the runtime value to ensure they operate as expected.

Rectify any faults found in Step 3.

Locate the 'Master Fuel' setting. This can be found in the ECU Settings Menu under: Fuel > Fuel Setup >

Fuel Main.

This will need to be adjusted during or just after start-up.

Crank the engine until it starts. Some throttle may be required for first time start-up due to imperfect

tuning. If necessary adjust the Master setting to enrich/lean the engine (increase to enrich).

If the engine fails to start after several attempts, do not crank it endlessly. Stop and determine the

problem before continuing.

Check the Trigger Error Counter (found under the Triggers runtime values tab). If this value increases

during cranking/running then there is a trigger setup fault. It is not unusual for this number to count one or

two on the first engine revolution.

Once the engine starts, adjust the ‘Master’ (under fuel settings) setting to achieve best possible running.

10.

The engine should now be allowed to fully warm up. It may be necessary to readjust ‘Master’ several

times to maintain smooth running. Don’t forget to keep an eye on engine temperature.

11.

Once the engine is warmed up and running well, perform another trigger calibration (known “as setting the

base timing”).

12.

Perform a Store by pressing F4.

7.1 Final Checks

To avoid potential engine damage and wasted time, the adjustments presented in the following sections must

be made before attempting to start the engine.

For further help on any of the settings discussed below, consult the online Help in the PCLink Tuning

Software. Online help can be invoked by pressing F1, or right clicking any item and selecting ‘What’s this?’.

Pre-set-up Checks

Before attempting to configure the ECU, ensure the following tasks have been completed:

Ensure the ECU and all associated components are connected and correctly wired/installed.

Fully charge the vehicle’s battery, as the engine will be required to be cranked during the set-up procedure.

Check all oil and water levels are correct.

Connecting to PCLink Tuning Software

Use the following procedure to establish a connection between your Link ECU and PCLink Tuning Software

tuning software.

Make sure your laptop battery is fully charged or plugged in to mains power.

Connect the ECU to your laptop and connect to PCLink Tuning Software as described in the

'Communicating with your ECU' section of this manual.
