    NorCal Mechanic who can work on MegaSquirt EFI?

    Hi all,

    So I'm the new owner of a very custom '72T Hot Rod, with a dual plug, short stroke 3.2 (based on a 3.0) that was very custom built by a Santa Cruz guy who is no longer with us. The car runs super strong, but am having a few idle and random other behavior problems that come and go. All seem to be related to ignition tuning. Here's the rub - the car was customized with a ERI system called MegaSquirt Pro, and most Porsche shops don't have the computer/software/dongle that connected to the board (Picture attached). This system is used a lot for racing, but maybe not so much in these early cars. I'm in need a recommendation of a good shop that can help sort through these issues. I already tried Tony Heyer, no go.

    If I can't get this sorted, I'm looking at having to replace a lot of the injection setup and who know what else. Thanks.

    Sorry, EFI system, not ERI (typo)

    Reach out to DIYAUTOTUNE with your photos and they will likely be able to provide the parts you need to communicate with it.
    Send your photos as that looks to be an older unit.
