Hi

My escort cosworth´s have been "bypassed" with an ordenary on/off switchvalve (low/highboost). I now put in a collinschip, and would like my amal to work out, with what ever kind of overboost it may give. But the o-ring in it is cracked and the valve don´t seem to click at all!! When connected the turbo makes MASSIVE overboost , like the amal don´t work out, but how can I make a safe check??

Can I see anything with my FLUKE if I put the pins into the amal-plug??

Can I give the amal 12v without killing it for sure?? and hear a click??

If my amal is dead... then I might need a secondhand well working amal with "snapplug" connection, for my escort

Could a boostcontroller be a solution to??

 

easy way to test it is take it apart and give it a live and earth from the battery and see if it opens and closes

 

Thanks radman... thought so

How about the seal (o-ring).. is only a dirt seal.. or is it very impotant/nessesary to be in top condition so there are no leaks. As I se it, it is in line from compressorhousing and actuator.

 

Think the amal is very dead!!!

Would a boostcontroller be something to go fore??? or "just" a ned amal???

I am "only" running 1,5 bar ... nothing serious

 

I have an Esc Cos amal / elekron valve available if needed

 

uhmm .. I will be back later this day Dave.. I am just have to make sure.. absolutly sure that there are no signal in the plug.

The one you have are NOT the same as on a Saphirre, correct?

 

Hi Dave

My Amal works !!!! It click like it have never clicked before thats good!!
It have unfortunately not been possible for me to check what ever kind of signal there are coming out of the wireing .. maybe nothing.

So I don´t need your amal at this time Dave.. thansk but no thanks
