Switching to a 3204 or 3208 in firmware later is beyond trivial (I love SPI/I2C). Just to clarify, you mean easier than trivial, not harder than trivial, which is how it read to me, right? For VR I am using LM1815, because once again I have some and I have made them work just fine on a Subaru 6/7 c...

#3 Output Generation Turn OD, SCAN LEDs on and off Switch transmission solenoids on and off: Transmission Relay, 3-4 Shift, TCC Lockup Generate PWM for Governor Solenoid So, how would 1-2-3 shift be controlled them? Is it all taken care by the single PWM for Governor Solenoid? Yes sir, it is. It si...

So, my brother-in-law who is a VW tech is diagnosing a 2014 Passat 1.8TSI (EA888 Gen 3) that randomly stalls and gets a "MAP Sensor Signal Implausible" code set. Has new MAP and wiring all the way to ECM. Of course, there are basically no tech bulletins out for this car, but I digress. The...

Nope, not a leaked document, it's public record. Although I'd like to see a non-redacted version

Thanks for this. I'll comment on the specifics later, but I'm sure I've violated quite a few items from your list so far.

I was responding to his second post in the first sentence. I didn't realize there was a mandated order of sentences???

It's not necessarily an issue of prolonged load (unless your engine is overheating), it's more of an issue of increased cylinder-filling (greater air/fuel charge = higher pressure) causing flame temp and speed to increase, and incompletely-tuned spark maps. When you are going up an incline, you have...

"P responds to changes in error not error itself so just having a P term will keep you from reaching a target." It'd be wrong to embarrass this person by naming them here. Three words: WTF. All of these are second hand, so if there are any errors, let me know. Gee I could have sworn it is...
