Default Efi HT leads

Need ur help guys, does any1 no if xr2i plug leads are different from fiesta turbo leads?

The reason I ask is I've recently done an efi conversion using Ofab on my s2 van and I've had no joy getting hur started, I've got a spark but it's really weak and quite irregular, couple of people have asked if it is fiesta turbo leads that's on it as they think theres a difference in them compared to 2i ones,...

Can any1 shed sum light on this?

They're the same afaik. The only difference could be the length because of the inlets, but I believe they had the same length! AND the car should run with all EFI leads, even with OHV ones!

I think there the same. Im pretty sure the coil pack is in the same place. If you havn't already bought your leads i recomend Ford motorsport leads from MSD. Good leads for 35 notes.

The HT leads are the same although they change in colour. Some are red some are black.

I use Fiesta Leads on a YB and a CVH.

I DO NOT use cheap motorsport copy leads on any car!
