The information i have given about 90 degrees BTDC is straight from a Haynes manual but could be typing error. Yes i think it is what Gilesy998 says mine seemed to work better there. Anyway i have found out that my vr sensor does not give a 2.5 ac volt reading when on cranking, both leads showed 1.5...

Heres a quick diagram of pulley with the timing marks which are located on the camshaft cover. I have one groove on the pulley representing timing mark.

VR Senser position and Trigger Wheel

Should i align my sensor at the manufactrers 90 degree BTDC crankshaft pulley mark which is situated at 90% from TDC going anti clockwise or 10% clockwise of 100% of curcumference of the crank pulley. This would mean my gap would pass the senser 5 teeth when crank reached TDC. Gap to pass senser 90%...

No running on tickover without throttle

Engine running on EDIS4 with throttle. Then MJLJ switched on and still running and accelerating up full rev range, but will not rev freely or hold tickover. Do you believe this is a map problem, 4-1 on left coil pack and 3-2 on right from front of engine, vr sensor at 90 degrees BTDC and missing too...

My coil has a 12 volt centre wire feed and earths through the two outer wires, when engine is running and off, not on MJLJ. The VR sensors two wires give the same 1.53 volts to there connection with the EDIS 4 on pins 5 and 6 when running. So the VR sensor the coil pack seem to be working OK but not...

I have checked the coil and found i get about 19 ohms resistance when checking condinuity with leads attached, on the 1-4 the reading is steady but when i try the 2-3 i hardly get any resistance at all, just a quick flash of resistance then nothing. I checked this with my Ford series 1 coil pack and...

I have rested a spark plug connected to the coil on the engine, earthing it and observed the starting of sparking occuring. Just using the MJLJ meant i did not test spark with own mems 1.9 only. The MJLJ i have connect as Autosport LABS diagrams, the other is seperate already fitted as standard. Doe...

Going to try the plug leads to the coil in a differant config, should solve acceleration problem. Does the Aux connection when fitted to a temperature sensor affect when the coil starts to fire? Thanks for your help BRUCEROE but where is that file you mentioned?

I have no spark when the engines cold using just the MJLJ. No accelaration after running engine at tick over after starting when engine warm using MJLJ. Would the connection to the existing ECU stop the fuel from being available if the plugs where disconnected so no earth?

Success, i have changed the wires around and these where the original lead ones from coil pack to EDIS 4, wired up wrong according to the Installation document on the Autosport LABS Forum. I do not seem to get any spark when engine cold, but when warm it fired and ticked over, but alas no accelarati...

I have got the gap on the 36-1 wheel lined up with the timing mark on the pulley, and the sensor positioned 90 degrees before TDC, do you think this is correct? I used a timing light connected to number1 cylinder and observed at tick over the timing mark on the pulley at about 5 oclock, i could have...

Thanks for your quick reply NITROPIXIE , i have connected the plug wires from a Motorcraft coil pack which has the cylinder numbers written on it, but have a ford focus coil pack which does not, do you know if they are numbered the same? The results are the same so far. I will look at the changing o...

Engine does not start

I have a v4 and latest firmware, EDIS 4, and other bits to match and on MAP. I have checked the voltages to PIP, SAW and VR sensor and every thing is OK. The loaded map is the original MJLJ one. I`am getting a spark on all 4 plugs. What concerns me is the timing mark it is no where near TDC when eng...

What kind of trigger wheel and crank pulley

As the subject says and have you any pictures. I done my K-series in one go without any special tools.
