Found out why mixture control didn't do anything. I'd swapped Pgm Var and Mixture inputs.
(My EC3 did not come with the PCM, so I made my own).

Something else I noticed on the "Engine dump" screen on the EM3 is ENGCODE shows B0  instead of A8. That is three-rotor 20B!

;ENG        EQU    0xA8    ; * RENESIS RX-8 ENGINE  SET LGSEC IF USING RENESIS INJECTORS  SET RX-8 COIL IF USED  !!!!!!!!!
;ENG        EQU    0xB0        ;20B EQUIPPED W/ RENESIS CAS

These are the parameters I programmed it with:
ENG            EQU    0xA8      ;PUT ENGINE TYPE CODE HERE AND CHECK **** ALL **** FLAGS BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

N109TC        EQU 0x00    ;N109TC USES A DIFFERENT assignment of coil drivers  CLEAR for ALL except N109TC !!!!! and KERMIT unit   20B controllers

DIAG        EQU 0x00        ;DIAG ==1 ALLOWS DIAGNOSTIC USE OF 02H&L

;  *****************     CHECK ALL FLAGS BEFORE PROGRAM MING CHIPS  !!!!!   **************************************************

;   ***************    DWELL TIME FLAGS   *SET ONLY ONE*      ***********************************************

RX8COIL        EQU    0x00        ;1= 2.6MS DWELL TIME  (RX-8 COIL)
RX7COIL        EQU 0x00        ;1= 3.5MS DWELL TIME USED   (also used for A7 2007 option)
LS1COIL        EQU    0x00        ;1= 4.3 MS DWELL USED
HONDACOIL    EQU 0x00        ;1= 1.7 MS DWELL            (A REALLY TINY COIL)
LS2COIL        EQU    0x01        ;1= 4.0 MS DWELL       

 
TURBO        EQU    0x00        ;0 = NA, 1 = TURBO VERSION     (BIT 0 SET IN ECINFO IF TRUE)
BFACTOR        EQU    D'20'        ;BOOST RETARD FOR IGNITION TIMING  lower value = more boost retard (25 IS USED FOR MOST ROTARY 20 on 03-05-09,
LGSEC        EQU    0x01        ;0 = PRI & SEC INJECTORS SAME SIZE  1 = LARGER SECONDARY INJECTORS (RENESIS 4 port)
WIDEBAND    EQU 0x01        ;0 = NARROWBAND O2 SENSOR IN USE, 1 = WIDEBAND SENSOR IN USE.
TEMPSENSOR    EQU    0x00        ;0 = THERMISTOR, 1 = LM34
MAPSENSOR    EQU    0x00        ;0 = MPX4250 SENSOR, 1 = MPX4115 (EARLIER VERSION OF EC2 ONLY)
BUSENSOR    EQU    0x00        ;0 = NO BACKUP SENSOR, 1 = BACKUP INSTALLED (0xA8,0xA9,AB,AD,B1,B2,B4 0-200 ENGINE ONLY)
BREW        EQU    0x00        ;0 = SET TO 1 FOR 3RD GEN 13BREW ENGINES :  COMPENSATES FOR 5 DEG EARLIER 3RD GEN TIMING OF CAS
ONEINJ        EQU    0x00        ;0 = NORMAL 2 INJECTOR PER ROTOR  1 = 1 INJ PER ROTOR  (NOT RECOMMENDED)
CONT        EQU    0x00        ;0 = NORMAL 0xA9 ENGINE, 1 = CONTINENTAL/Lyc VARIENT (also sets bu at 18 deg before primary)
...
(I used Mode 5 to change to narrow band, temporarily)

So I think we need to investigate the program and see if something got messed up and somehow changes A8 to B0.

Not sure if we should continue this on this list or if we should take it off-line?
