Erratic RPM

Hi Brent, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you I've been away on business. I've tried what you suggested (shared power supply and separate battery) and I still get this problem. I've no idea what is causing this. If I remove the components (mjlj, coil and vr sensor) and put them on my other ca...

Erratic RPM

hi, Now I've succesfully got one car running, I'm onto my second MJLJ (EDIS6) implementation. I've got the car running but the tickover is not completely smooth with the engine missing occasionally, perhaps 4 or 5 times in a minute. When I hook up the MJLJ I notice that when the engine misses the so...

Re great thanks for the update

Yes I'm in Auckland New Zealand. I'm in the process of writing an article for the car club I'm in, documenting the process with pictures and diagrams. Once I've done it, I'll post in this forum with a link to the club's web site and the article. Some of the information will be useful i guess, like h...

67 GT6 Fuel injection and MJLJ

Hi, You can add another success to your list. Got the car on a dyno yesterday and managed to sort the ignition properly. Managed to "find" another 8BHP over the standard dizzy. Main benefit seems to be in the mid range where the engine is more flexible and pulls like a train now, whereas i...

timing map

I copied my distributor curve by looking in my (factory) workshop manual which gave me all the values for centrifugal (RPM) advance and vacuum advance. I've used this as a safe starting point. Perhaps the main dealer for your car can help? I've found if you talk to the guys on the shop floor they ar...

She Runs

Finally I've got the car running. It would seem that the wiring diagrams I've seen on the net are wrong when it comes to wiring an EDIS 6 module. On all the diagrams I've seen, wires 10 11 and 12 are shown as going to coils 1, 2 and 3 respectively. It would seem that wire 11 actually goes to coil 3 ...

Was no spark, now spark but spitting back

Whoops abit of a typo there, the secondary resistance is 14.5 k ohms not 14.5 ohms. I've tested the coil and it seems to be fine, I get nice healthy blue sparks. Adjusted the VR sensor gap and I now get sparks BUT I'm getting spitting back thru the inlet manifold which is obviously a timing issue. T...

No spark!

Thanks for all the info regarding testing the coil etc. I'll double check my wiring and test the coil. I've already checked the resistance of the coil, the secondary circuit is 14.5 ohms and the primary is about .5 ohms so I'm guessing it's ok but I'll check it for output just the same. I own an &qu...

No Spark!

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my engine to run, even in "limp home mode" and there appears to be absolutely no spark as the engine doesn't even try to start. I've double checked my wiring and connections and these appear to be fine. I've tried swapping out the edis module for another one ...

trigger wheel mounting

I've just used a Mig welder to attach my wheel. just done 4 "spot" welds 90 degrees apart round the inside of the trigger wheel (came from an escort I think). Did consider epoxying it as well but welding was quicker.

cheers,

crank sensor mounting again

Yeah I had seen your write up. Looks like I've done it wrong. I think Its wrong because I originally set it up for use with a megasquirt and EDIS setup and those instructions appear to be different regarding how you setup the trigger wheel. Anyway, guess it's out with the angle grinder! Thanks for f...

Sensor positioning (again!)

Hi, Perhaps I'm stupid, but I just want to make sure I've done everything right with regards to mounting the wheel and the sensor on my Triumph GT6. I've read the instructions and i think I've done it right but I'd like someone to confirm it for me. With my engine at TDC I have the middle of the mis...
