I've got a weird one here.
I installed ProX in my Verde, and upon turning the ignition key to 'acc' it wont allow me to shut off my ignition. I can pull the key out of there and it will stay on.

The gotech is getting power through a fused and relayed setup.

Power for relay switching comes from the ignition wire, same as Jes used here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593.
I've got a straight from Battery wire going to the relay as well (nothing else is connected to it, asides from being fused)

Pins are as follows:
85: ground
86: ignition
87: power to Gotech
30: power from battery.

I keep trying to find if this is the right way but cant seem to find anything saying this is wrong.

I can hook the fuel pump wire to pin 87 and the ignition behaves perfectly properly.

I can have the Gotech disconnected from its wiring harness and turn on/off the ignition perfectly fine. (While reading power on pin 87.)

Anyone have an idea?

Or should I be going like this Vr6 one?


After looking at all of the wiring here I've decided that I've got the same setup, except my wiring harness has different colors, confusing.

Furthermore:

Trying to get to the bottom of this one.

I hooked the Gotech direct to ignition, no relay, through #12 on the fusebox. With the Gotech hooked up this way I could turn it on, take my key out of the ignition and it would not turn anything off.

Found a different ignition, connected that to the relay that the Gotech is on, same problem.

Im concluding that:
The ignition source is not the problem.
The ignition switch is not the problem.
The relay is hooked up correctly, wiring all seems good too.

So what the heck is happening here? Is the Gotech ProX itself giving me issues?

I figure I should reply to this now,

I found the issue. The car has been ran now with the Gotech setup and it works great.

Thanks.

What was the issue then?

The issue was that the RPM signal wire was getting power.
I found it when I went through and traced all of the wires on the Gotech connectors.

Don,

Are you using 6 individual coils or a VR6 coilpack?

Zamani,

I'm in between that one. I'm going to be running full sequential. That was the original idea. These will likely just be the stock COPs, but I'm looking into what other ones might fit, with just the change of a connector. Some early e36 COP look promising.
Right now I've got the VR6 Coil Pack on it though.

Do you have a 24V in there already or still running the 12V with the Gotech?

I'm going to convert to distributorless on my 12V first with the Autronic CDI unit, then once I have that sorted out, I will put in the 24V.

Zamani,
Can you use the two stock knock sensors on the 24v with Autronic? I suppose you will just ditch them - naturally aspirated anyway...
Jes

Nope my SMC has no support for knock sensor. Mezevenf's SM4 has support for knock sensor. I will not use them.

I've got the 24V in there already. Doing some final bits and pieces and then I'll hopefully just be driving it around and enjoying it.

It's probably a good idea to do the 12V distributorless when you switch to a different ECU, but since you want to drop in a 24V you'll have to do some of the work twice. Although the main wiring will all be done.
Not to mention tuning two different engines.
