Hoping I am not talking to myself here but I got the Trigger Wheels cable yesterday and fitted it today. When I read through the information and looked at teh cable I had some questions, there were very few instructions, seller more than likely now closed for the holidays, so had to decide if I could just go ahead or wait till after the holidays.
One of my issues was thet the three green wires that give the signalsfrom the EDis to the coil pack were not numbered and there was nothing to say how they should be connected. So i discussed with a friendand wedecided maybeit doesn't really matter, wasted spark system, fores 3 green wires and 2 cylinders at a time. Our theory was wrong however and first attempt to start I had backfiring and symtoms of wrong firing order. Not being a gambler I amnot used to calculating odds but I came to the conclusion with only 3 wires there weren't many possibilities. So thakfully I managed after a couple of failed attempts to get it right and it started. The RC needle didn't move at forst then it cameup to wat looked like the correct revs then slowly lowered to the stop, where it not remains. So althoughI am glad the car is running again, it's disappointing that it hasn't worked and I need to look at other options and probably have to undo what I did today and re-wire again for another cable, box or whatever.
Here is a possible option. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284440826701 this was recommendedto me by acompany whp fit BOA engines to other cars ike my Capri. and separately some people on Facebook also metioned it and seemed to think it was what I needed. All this happened after I had ordered the cable so I decided to wait and see. Any thoughts, advice?
