[vr v6] mace memcal problems

[nathanVY]

hey everyone, just got my mace memcal the other day.
after installing the engine light stays on, it has a lot of trouble starting but will eventaully, and drive barely works at all.

whats the deal, have I done something wrong? or do I have a dodgy chip (came directly from mace)

Try calling MACE, Steve is a very helpful bloke.

try pushing the memcal in further. sounds like it isnt locked in properly

Having similar issues with mine put it in yesterday, will double check to make ensure it is properly an see if that helps.
also i got the one for the vn

ill give it another go this morning, the ecu wilil need to reset its-self yeah?

 

[peckzz]

yea just drop the battery for 5 mins, that will do it

just had another go at it, memcal was definitely in correctly. (both clips clicked in), and the negative battery terminal was unplugged. that didnt work, so I tried unplugging the ecu wiring looms and leaving it sit for 15-20 minutes, still with the same result.

have I been screwed with a dodgy chip?

send the guys from mace an email before jumping to conclusions.if its faulty, they should fix you up with a new one, or fix that one.

open up blue cover and check soldering. if there is any pins without a good solder joins whats happening to you is the first sign. the other thing it could be is a bit of solder crossing two pins

dual eproms

under blue cover look at these solder joins

memcal without cover
