Yes, sure was.
Found that the throttle was not calibrated like it should have been.
Once we knew the positions 110%,100%,75%,65%,etc.. we marked them on the
throttle.
No issues after that.

go off as they should when the tcu is powered up, the waste gate cycles
thru properly at startup as well. With the engine running the yellow
light is not blinking at idle but starts to blink at about 2300 rpm and
continues as rpms rise, go below 2300rpm and the light goes out. With
the engine off and the turbo powered up the yellow light also is off at
idle throttle setting and if I advance the throttle the light starts
blinking and will stop as I pull back. So it seems that the throttle
sensor is sending a signal to the tcu as it moves. But what is the
issue? Sensor, tcu, other.
>> This issue just started on its own. So, the rotax folks would like me
to remove the tcu and send it in for diagnoses. Anybody had this issue?
I have searched this and have seen it discussed but the threads just end
with no resolution, so I know I'm not alone out there.
>> Also the turbo is working and does boost the engine but I pretty sure
it is adding boost too soon for the throttle setting which also points
to the throttle sensor.
>> Lastly my tcu is of the old type 4.5 which needs the dongle to talk
to a pc in dos! So I can't plug in my pc and test it myself. Anybody
know if a dongle is available and software? Maybe Lockwood or?
