? So i went to my fuse box and held the meter across different fuses until i had one that stayed live when turning the car over connected to that and it started!! Dont know much about the electrical system on a car so didnt know the 12v would dissapear when the engine was turning over. But thanks f...

hi all, i am completing an EDIS8 installation. the system is operational, but the car wont run. it will just start, but is plainly misfiring terribly. in the EDIS8, the cylinder pairs fire at 0,90,180,270 deg, so i have marked the crank pulley with A,B,C and D, at those degrees of rotation. that sho...

keep us posted

dean, without looking it up, i dont suppose your existing gear was terribly expensive. so why not just buy another one, put them both on a bolt, and lock them together with a couple of bolts, epoxy glue, tackweld etc. that will double the thickness and you wont have to change your existing work. ale...

My question is has anyone got any good ideas on what i could use (somthing like a molex would be neat) and where i would get them.

Thanks for time.

brent, in this thread in Q&A: rs232 serial cardbus Vs USB to serial lead
.. i was having trouble posting a reply message, but it turned up there twice, and now neither one gives me the option of Deleting the message.

obviously not drama; just letting you know of this minor clitch.

Does anyone have any experience of using an rs232 PCMcia type card in their laptop rather than the troublesome usb to serial lead? My laptop doesn't have a built in serial port :x Also what operating sytems are people using/ are there any known problems with win 98/xp etc? Regards Nigel as a genera...

How sharp or steady should the strobe image be? With the EDIS alone I was checking for a good 10BTDC but the white mark is spread over about 10deg, from +10 to 0 and gets worse as RPM increases. So it starts in the right place but is not sharp. I have tried 2 lights, both the very cheap in-line var...

Getting back to the ford sensor. What is the smallest trigger wheel that it has been used with? I. ah well, that is the $64 question. i have two ford sensors - a fatter one and a thinner one. my guess is that the thinner type will work with your wheel. unfortunately, i couldnt even call that an edu...

Heres a quick pics of my one i just took, I think il do a quick diagram in paint of how i think im going to do it and get you to look over it if thats ok? if it is of any help with laying out the diagram, this is what i did for the installation i am working on currently. i used a free program calle...

dean, a couple of photos. first, you can see the thickness of my wheel. it is in fact thicker than the VR sensor by a good margin. perhaps you could try buying a second, identical spur gear, and gluing, screwing or tacking them together to increase the thickness of yours, so the total thickness is a...

hi dean.. *i will find a photo looking directly down, a bit later on today *the trigger wheel is 35mm across ie about 1.5" *not sure which bit of metal you are referring to.... can you clarify? *i think that extension on the sensor, which includes the magnet, is just to raise the intensity of t...

hi dean, just re recap on previous discussions, this is my installation using that sensor: that trigger wheel is 35mm across ie about 1.5", so there is a benchmark for smallness. there is a little runout, but <1mm: enough to see as varying signal strength on an oscilloscope but it works perfect...

hi. partial answers... *megajolt MUST be used in conjunction with an EDIS module. megasquirt, conversely, can trigger of just about anything, and has its own inbuilt coil drivers for those who dont wish to use EDIS. *this is probably now irrelevant :) , and as you have been looking ebay you will pro...
