How about a stand alone VVT controller, many modern engines have VVT and whilst the fuel and ignition can be taken care of there seems to be nothing to control VVT. I beleive it could be a possible development of the megajolt ign controller and would be real useful when retro fitting a more modern e...

Any chance of the tuning software being linux compatible ?

Oil pump is driven separately from the camshaft.

Is the Megajolt mounted below the level of the tapping in the inlet? I had something similar happen on a vacuum gauge some years ago, fuel from the fuel vapour collects in the tube. Apart from removing the tube periodically to blow it through it wasn't a problem, not sure how the MAP sensor reacts t...

Would it be possible to use the coil pack from the 1.8L Mazda engine? Would save on expensive custom spark plug wires.

Hi Brent, Thanks for the quick response. Internet explorer is the browser but not sure what version - probably the latest Tried to download the latest version several times on Wednesday night but all resulted in the same. However downloaded first time last night and installed Ok. It did come up with...

Tried to download latest config software last night but the download fails. I've added a screen dump (hopefully) of the error message.
Laptop is Dell 630 latitude and cursed with Vista operating system!
Version 4.0.1 loaded ok just 4.0.2 that it doesn't like.

Has anyone had any problems/ experiences using Open office for analysing data logs?

It does make a difference is the short answer With TPS it's usually linear as the TPS is measuring how much the throttle butterfly is open ie 10, 20, 30 % whereas a MAP sensor is measuring manifold vacuum (as a absolute pressure hence M.anifold A.bsolute P.ressure) At small throttle openings the man...

I've found an anomoly with some of the coil packs fitted to Ford cars in the UK. 2001my Focus with Zetec engine has the coil pack cylinder notation reverse to 2001my Mondeo with Duratec engine. to make the Focus coilpack run on the Mondeo I had to connect Plug leads 1&3 to the coil posts 2&4...

Should probably have explained my question better :oops: My laptop currently has Win Me loaded and runs the MJLJ software ok but I have a lot of problems with USB to serial leads on a variety of projects. At work we have abandoned the use of the USB/serial lead in favour of the PCMCIA type cards as ...

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 Also what operating sytems are people using/ are there any known problems with win 98/xp etc?

As for Nitropixie's non adjustable timing light you are correct in that you should see twice the pulses but at the correct ign advance as your timing light is not trying to calculate when to flash! it just see's a trigger and flashes. My light however is adjustable and uses engine speed vs time to c...

If you are using the factory flywheel and crank sensor in their stanard locations the you actually have 10 degrees BTDC because that's how Ford designed it to work. For their limited operation strategy (LOS) the edis receives no signal from the ecu as it's being used purely to run the fuel injection...

Edis is a wasted spark system ie the edis fires the coil pack as cyl 1 & 4 together then 2 & 3 together so your timing light is seeing twice as many pulses and therefore twice the spark advance and twice the RPM.
