amal valve and iscv share the same feed, so its a wiring issue pal,

i think they run from the fuel pump relay area

the ecu provides the earth control, both amal and iscv have an ign live, run a continuity check and probe it out

you probably spiked the ecu if you sent 12v down the earth wire.

continuity check doesnt involve sending power anywhere

well, my next step would be get the ecu tested then get a wiring diagram and pin out to check the ecu feeds and relay feeds,

but if your not confident get someone to help you

Right I have resoldered it and it starts again the amal clicks after a second or 2 when
running but no ISCV
How do you test it the ISCV Can i just wire it direct to a battery and listen for a noise?

Default amal

Just had mine setup at noble motorsport there was a burnt out electrode in my ECU which stopped the amal valve working, they managed to fix it top blokes.
