R32 Rb26 V44 Vipec Problem

[4dr wannaslide]

so i have a rb26/30 running an vipec v44 and was just idling in the driveway warming up then just cut out, lost sprak, let sit for a while started then cut started then cut out, now has no spark at all, check ignitor module ok, then plug an stock r32 ecu in and now has spark, swapped the vipec back and defently doesnt have any spark, so all i can think is something in the ecu has failed , anyone had an problem like this or im guessing i have to send it back to vipec and i only just got it tuned so im hoping if i send it away my tune wont get swiped or ill be pissed lol. thanx to anyone can help me

If you have the standard ignition module you have most likely burned out the earth track inside the module. Kinda weird that you still get spark on the factory ECU though.

I don't know why Vipec don't provide a fix for this as its a known problem to them. They run waste spark on a system that only had current capacity for sequential.

but i have changed the ignitor module and it made no difference, is the earth in module or is it somewhere else, and i thought by pluging a standard ecu in and it having spark is canceled out everything beside the vipec.

Hmm. Very interesting problem then.

The earth is in the module so that may not be your problem. Did you try a manual test of the cam sensor?

I would assume the ECU is faulty if you can plug another in and have it work.

Why not let customer service do its thing. Pick up the phone or send email and see what they recommend, it is their product after all.

You do know that the tune takes all of 1-2 minutes to connect your PC and save the tune file? It can always be re-installed if lost or altered by you or anyone else.

I have sent vipec an email and they said to send it to them. Going to hook it up to laptop tomorrow and see if we can find anything if not I'll be sending it back
