Brilliant 2row Ecu Guide

Recommended Posts

24seven

Ok so with this problem I've been haivng with my Mi16 not sparking recently I've been looking for a guide to the ignition system.

 

The other day I was randomly searching for pictures of BX's and was trying to see if anyone had had a go at the styling of them, particularly curious to see what may have been done about the rear wheel half cover thing. I found a website dedicated to BX19 16V's and on it was a download for a program called CAPS. It's got literally everything you need to know about the 2 row ECU found in the BX and the Mi16

 

I don't know whether or not this program is known by people on here, but at the off chance it's not, I thought I'd post it up anyway.

 

Enjoy!

 

Edit - see attached file as link above is dead.

caps.zip

Hurrah! ive been looking for the link for ages, this program has been an absolute godsend to me whilst fault finding.

 

MODS: I think this should be made a sticky somewhere as it is invaluable!

some motronic 3.1 info

the afm link has some good how to's on diagnosing problems using a volt meter, it also has nominal values.. good if your not too hot on electrics.

explains that the fuel pump relay is actually an accident / fuel not pumping relay

explains how to adjust the fuel mixture to cope with different petrol ratings 95/98 or adjust the mixture

I checked and this program is very good, but is this information suitable for my 205 XUJ9A. Especially the ECU pin numbers?

Not always, this is for the Motronic ML4.1 & M1.3 ecu's fitted to the XU9J4 Mi16 engine in either the Citroen BX 16v or Peugeot 405 Mi16.

 

If you have a 1.9 GTi with the XU9JA/Z 122bhp catalised engine then some of the information on the M1.3 will be relevent but not all.

Thanks I have 130bhp one without cataly. I understand that mine is L-jetronic.

But again the program is fantastic because of the instructions to check the components is shown

Doesn't appear to work with 64bit windows as it's a 16 bit program, so I believe you'll need 32bit XP to be able to run this.

Had this for years, its was invaluable when i used the Mi16 as a daily driver (will be again soon).

 

Sadly i have recently upgraded to Win7 64bit so am currently working on a way to continue using it - maybe dosbox or somesuch, we will see.

Use a VMWare Player with a WindowsXP virtual machine! This will solve the problem! :)

VirtualBox seems to be the way forward for me at least....much the same as you said really. :)

Just to tidy up an old thread, i am now using virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) to emulate WinXP 32bit on my Win7 64bit PC and it runs CAPS fine, is a quick and easy solution but bear in mind you need a copy of winXP to install on virtualbox.

Does anybody have a copy of caps.zip? I accidentally deleted the VM I had it in and now I can't find a working download link anywhere.

Nice one Anthony, I've been through the old hdd where I expected to have it but it's not there.

 

I've got the old foldershare discs somewhere & I'm sure it would've been on there also.
