***UPDATE*** In case anyone running into the same issues. I, for some reason, thought I bought a 97 ECU and had DSMLink socketed in it. It is a 95 ECU!I had the wires in the wrong order "3214". When I switched to "4123" it fired right up. I'm an idiot :banghead:

And that’s exactly why I went out and double checked! Kept seeing things saying it’s extra work to convert the 97 to run dsmlink etc. figured it wasn’t very popular so I should prob double check haha! I’m so relieved I got it going, been a pain in the butt

I appreciate your help but I realized I’m an idiot. I thought I bought an eprom 97 ecu and was having no start issue. I just checked ecu and it’s from a 95!!! Swapped wires again and it fired right up! Crappy idle but it’s a good start.

I have been reading the ecmlink articles but I’m still confused. Can someone help me?95tsi with a 97 ecu with dsmlink. I don’t have cas on passenger side of motor.1. What should my plug order be? 2. Do I have to have the CAS inversion selected or not in dsmlink?Thanks

That’s what I was thinking. It’s been on the charger since I tried, but wasn’t sure if I had a bad battery or not. Was gonna go out tomorrow to buy a new one to see what it looked like then

95 TSI with 97 ECU - Speed Density, FIC 1120's, 43.5 Fuel pressure Cranks and bucks like it wants to start, but doesn't crank fully over. Makes a weird winding type noise while cranking. Have tried multiple plug orders, currently its at 4-1-2-3 from right to left. Noticed at cranking, the...

Bump. Have limited time to mess around with it, but would like a good lead if anyone has anything. Thanks a ton

Ye it was. Very sluggish, but I could atleast drive it around the block. I noticed when installing the WB that pin 76 o2 wire was snipped like someone cut their WB out and never tied it back. Going to assume that's why it was running sluggish.

I'm sorry, I thought it was the same thing. Log posted. Cranking log didn't save and am unable to go back out to do it until tomorrow. From what I saw the MAP went from -0.1 to around 0.5 or so, not much movement.

IAT is now being logged, thanks for the help. New log is posted a few comments above.

Thanks, got IAT and MAP logged, seems to be working.

Thanks a ton for the help, log is posted. It feels and sounds like it wants to start, but it's just not getting there :confused:

Would this make a difference in my car starting or not? From what I've read, this is just for logging purposes (PC Side) and (ECU Side). I should be logging IAT's, but I'm not worried it at the moment as my car doesn't start LOL

Ye it is, just went out and looked and triple checked. If it's cycling from min to max volts in dsmlink, would that verify it's atleast working? After I calibrated, i held a lighter to the sensor and it went from 22, to 9-10 until I pulled lighter away, then it went back to 22

From what I understood, assigning the IAT is just for logging purposes correct? I'm not seeing a pin assignment for IAT ECU side, unless I'm blind.
