Its been a busy couple weeks with no breaks. Spent a week working hard to get Sector 111's car completed and delivered so they could unveil it and then spent another week traveling to Colorado for Pikes Peak testing.

On the plus side all of this work has given me much to add to my portfolio. I've also determined a use for the Blog feature as well. Not everything I necessarily requires its own web page to talk about it but I feel like the blog will become a 'catch all' for the small but interesting projects I have.

Take this morning for example. While I usually attempt to avoid working on cars on my 'days off' i decided to answer a question that's been bugging me for the better part of a year. When I was running and learning from a Megasquirt ECU in my personal car I had a very difficult time determining what frequency the Idle Air Control Valve was driven by the factory ECU and it seemed this was something no one had information on so i had to guess. At the time I lacked proper test equipment but now that I have a fancy oscilloscope and have reverted to the factory ECU I figured why not? It took some playing with and I learned to use some of the features of my oscilloscope but it turns out the frequency the valve runs at is 240 Hz. I checked my old tuning settings and I had the frequency set at 350 Hz, oops!

I guess you learn something new everyday, and having the tools to learn is a great plus!
