91 Volvo 960 B6304 Motronic 1.8

Does anybody know how I can power up a Motronic 1.8 on my desk separated from the car without just creating smoke?



By eprom emulator and home-made diagnose software I would like to figure out how the hardware works, and thereby be able to understand the original software and what the almost 80 different maps represent.



Also does anybody know what serial protocol the volvo scan tool uses to read live data from this old non-OBDII ecu?



By connecting to diagnose cable number 2 at the blink unit this is possible with the volvo tool.



Does anybody know anything interresting about the Motronic 1.8? Like schematics, RAM addresses for inputs and outputs, meaning of bit-flags in the code, map axis descriptions, calculation formulas for map values to real values, tuned binaries, ....



It turned out to be important to connect all the ground and battery voltage pins. #19 GND Signal #24 GND Power #30 GND Sensor

#18 +12V 30-feed #27 +12V 15-feed #37 +12V 15-feed from main relay. (This creates smoke if the others are not connected.)

i am quite interested in seeing what you are doing, andgiving the ecu a closer look myself.

so any further info (assuming you get it powered-up) would be awesome.
