do all 4 plugs spark when you turn the ign on? could be one of the amps is duffed, Mine also sparks when I turn ign on! often fires whatever is left in the engine, however it still starts fine after this initial little fault

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

hope not there brand new

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

ill check later in a little while if they all spark ok

trevCOSS

iTrader: (6)

also have you tried swapping the leads as in move lead 1&4 to lead 2&3 and vice versa? mabe could have them the wrong way round

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

no
all my leads are marked 1to4
and my coil has 1to4 on it so i matched them up

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

and put 1 closets to timing end

trevCOSS

iTrader: (6)

try swapping them as I indicated

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

surely that would do engine no good

im sure there be marked for reason

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

try as trev says, he cocks things up alot

joke btw

trevCOSS

iTrader: (6)

I have now fitted 4 of these conversions depending on who made the sub loom the leads may need to be opposite, as for doing the engine harm, it doesnt work now so if you swap them and its not the problem it still wont work

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

ryan made my loom

trevCOSS

iTrader: (6)

thanks james

trevCOSS

iTrader: (6)

good he made mine to, Its up to you you can try if you like or dont try if you dont like, just as stated I have fitted a number of these conversions and at some point MSD changed which wire goes to which pin on the ecu to fire which cylinder, if this is not changed on the sub loom to match then the leads will be wrong. Im probably wrong but it wont do any harm to try and if im right you'll thank me.

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

i will try in a min mate ill try anything at min

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

it cant do any harm if it fires on the exhaust stroke anyway

its not as if the car will actually start if its wrong

the original

Hi Roosie
do you live in thetford? I am up the road at attleborough
Not being big-headed but I expect I can get to the bottom of this for you
except I am flat out until after the 'ring trip
I guess you want it going sooner than that?

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

hi mate well if it aint sorted out by the time your free your welcome to come have a look are u fairly clued up on cossies?

Stavros

PROOF that modified cars are shit

The minute you mod any car its fucked, even my mondeo, took out the old headunit and its been a nightmare ever since

Ryan

the loom is wired for the later driver.

roosie you got a terminal tester?

trevCOSS

iTrader: (6)

ok ignore my advice as ryan has confirmed its ok for the driver you have

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

ok right i have hardly any spark at all when i turn my ignition on with or wothout ecu connected it does one strong spark and then thats more or less it then when i turn igntion off it does another one
my light now stay on even if i take the ecu off.
yes i have a circuit tester dont really know how to use it

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

and also i do have a earth at the back of inlet manifold

Ryan

roosie give me a call on 07919537128

i'll take you through a few things

The DIVA

iTrader: (3)

Roosie.....

You mention the fuel reg making a noise ?

This is the noise of the fuel pump running,it should stop after about 8-10 seconds of switching the ignition on,if it doesn`t this signifies the ECU is in fault condition and it`s possible the chip isn`t working....

This happened with my first closed loop chip,there had been a small software fault that had not written a certain piece of info,the car would not start and the pump was running continuosly,Stu sorted it out straight away,burning a fresh chip...

Ring him in the morning,he will sort it no problem.....one thing MSD do have is perfect customer service.....

Ryan

just spend about abotu 30 mins on the phone with roosie, went through pretty much everything,

and i think its as you mention diva, he pump run's constantly on ignition.

It gets good spark on 1&4 but only a mild spark on 2&3, so i thought it was either a wiring or amp fault, but he swapped amps and check continuity on all the coilpack wiring and its fine.

so will wait to see what happens when he speak to stu.

Will be sorted though

Roosie

iTrader: (8)

cheers ryan

yeah my fuel pump just want to run all the while it might stop for 2 secs then comes on again

will ring stu in morning thought he may have seen this post allready
