also get very frustrated as I've spend like $150+ on cables and still can't get the bloody laptop to connect to the ECU!!! :yes: h

Hi,

In all my books On K motors I even have the 5k ENGINE MANUAL they all crank at 250RPM. Upgraded your main power cables yet? The ones I mean are batt to alt to starter and earths? I got 4 gauge cable in KE30 did up grade my self HUGE improvement so try that.

 

No load amp draw from a KEXX starter is 55amps so try a no load test also. Will show if starter is dying.

 

Also sensor position for ECU. Is it close aligned right to pick up the ignition pulse? And is 200 the lowest ECU will do? As if sensor is good and starter loom fixed can't see why a normal starter wont kick it.

If your about tomorrow give me a ring, i can bring my big battery and a laptop with a real serial port.

i had to get a serial to USB cable and then download a special driver for it to hook up my haltech.

Just been thinking to myself tonight that I might need some more earthing, I'll try that tomoz and go from there I think. :wink:

I didnt have any trouble hooking mine up using a usb to serial adapter.

 

Are you using the cable that came from wolf, from the ecu to the serial adapter????

 

SOunds to me like there is a com port issue, have you selected the right com port in the software.

 

RING ME!!!!!!!!!! if you need help.

What is happeneing :( :) :n: :lolcry:

Just too damn busy at work lately to get any work done mate. I really can't be bother working on cars by the time I get home from 10-14 hours work for the day!!! :(

 

I'm getting a pulse, but very intimatantly. Using a $600 Odyssey battery, and if it drops below 12.6v off crank then the pulse just dissapears.

 

I'm waiting to try and get one of those reduction gear starter motors, so I can turn it over quicker with whatever voltage, but I'm having trouble trying to find a new one. A mate tried to order one from Ashdowns yesterday for me, but they couldn't find any listing of what its off. Ithought it was from a KM20 5k, but I may need to do some more research I think! :)

 

I think the problem with the cable me be that my flat mate installed the Wolf programs for me from one zip folder, but didn't do anything with the other zip folder, which I guessing may have had some drivers or something in it!?

I have seen the part # for the reduction starters, They do exist, Pity I'm at TAFE at the moment or I'd get you the # :(

Found one at Ashdowns Ingram today, they're listed as being for 4k-J and 5k-J.

Their part number was RXS412 IIRC. :(

whats going on?

 

have you got this thing started yet?

 

update update update......

Hi,

Taz if your still having troubles try a no load test on the starter.

 

reduction starters no load should pull less than 90 amps at 11.5 volts.

 

I have a how to on rebuilding this starter from Toyota if you need it. Could be a faulty starter as if you have a big batterya dn good starter no reason motor wont crank at 250RPM so you get a pulse.

250rpm isn't fast enough to give a steady pulse Cam. It's not too bad above 500rpm.

 

having 12.6v has just been a band aid solution really.

 

Just waiting to see if I can't get a better price than $250 for a new one. :)

I'm not using a reduction gear Si and mine is fine????????????

Are you still using the coil negative trigger for the ECU though!? Ie, reluctor sensor is only giving a pulse to the Crane box?
