Sorry to hear your having problems, hopefully you can get it sorted soon enough. Could also be the VR sensor?? To check the coil pack, although not a definitive test, is to continuity test the LT side (normally figure of around 1 Ohm or less) and the HT side (again aroung 1 Ohm). Basically you looki...

Ok, hook the unit up to a power supply (I find a 9V battery best for bench testing), then test the voltages around the circuit board according to http://www.autosportlabs.net/MJLJ_V4_kit_assembly_guide#Testing_Voltages Whilst testing voltages, can you test the voltage on pin 4 of U1 as well and repo...

Got a couple of details here http://www.autosportlabs.org/viewtopic.php?t=2033&start=15 and here http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=82057&highlight= and my sisters http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=75579&...

Can you get to a desktop pc with a dedicated serial port to confirm your megajolt can operate? You can power the unit using a 9V battery so you don't have to drag your desktop pc to your car. It maybe a serial adaptor issue at the moment as they can be awkward at the best of times. I managed to get ...

First of all take all the spark plugs out of the engine, rest them on the engine block, then turn the engine over and look for sparks. If there are sparks then the problem isn't ignition. If there are no sparks then obviously the problem lies here. Then take the connectors off the edis and coil pack...

Hi Blister

Yes, you can change/alter the map and other options in the software by just connecting a 9V battery (or similar power soure) to the megajolt. I use a 9V battery for testing for over a year now and its still working as a test power source.

It's a boy!!!!!

Well we were convinced it was a girl with my better halves symptoms (she has not been feeling very well, even after 20 weeks, boo), so it was king of a shock, but that's not to say we are both very excited.

Thrasher, If your still hitting a brick wall then I can take a look at your unit for you to perform some fault finding. Don't despair the benefits well be great once it is up and running properly. I too have a couple of MK1 Golf GTI's, which I haven't touched for a couple of months, to be restored w...

Hey blister Welcome to the forum :D I myself have a mini which I have jolted. If you need any help or advice then don't hesitate to contact the forum, your more than welcome to ask questions on here and we will proceed to help out the best way we can. I can't say I have had much experience with Forc...

I would but I don't have a running engine at the moment

You maybe able to test the the signals between the EDIS and the coil pack by removing the coil pack and putting LED's (with protection resistors) in place. Then turn the engine over and confirm they flash off (it maybe just a flicker). I have not tried this method and I'm not completely sure how suc...

Again this sounds like to me that the wiring to the coil pack is incorrect. If you have the 12v power lead to the coil pack is attached to the incorrect pin then as (for instance) coil A output of the EDIS fires you get a good spark from oneside of the coil pack, but then Coil B output fires you hav...

The choice is completely yours, depending on how much space you have to fit on the dash. You don't even need several LED's. You could vary the brightness of the LED's as you get closer to the shift point. The standard size I tend to use are 5/6mm LED's as they are a good managable and popular size a...

There are several options for a tacho output which are free to try.

1. One is the tacho output of the Megajolt unit itself.

2. Another is pin 11 of the EDIS module CTO (Clean Tacho Out put) and

3. Failing that you could use the PIP signal from the EDIS unit.

When you say bench testing, I'm guessing that is not on a running engine but with VR simulator software/hardware. Not trying to dispell your working out, just interested on how you came to that value for interest sake???
