Just started the process of an engine change from the 2litre Pinto to a 2 litre Duratec.

Are there any maps about for a Duratec with twin carbs (dellorto 40's) ?

Right- ok. So Pin 3 and 4 are connected to ground on the PC board. In the DB9-RJ11 adapter we provide we only connect DB9 pin 5 to one of the RJ11 pins- that is sufficient. Did you build your own cable? If so, you want to make sure you didn't flip the DB9 connector backwards. Another way to check i...

Have now tried 3 different laptops - 1 with a proper serial connector and the other 2 with 2 seperated USB/Serial Adapters, but still cannot communicate with the MJLJ. The only thing that I can see is not as suggested int he instructions is that the two ground pins 3 and 4 are not connected when me...

How new is your Megajolt unit? if reasonably recent then you will likely have the 4.0.2 firmware, which matches up with the 4.0.2 software. Normally you will not need to re-flash the Megajolt as we provide them with firmware pre-loaded. However, the errors in the firmware flashing routine is typica...

Another thought - I will be initially running the Car without a TPS (or MAP) sensor. so have found a 2D map. I notice in the config screen it aks to specify TPS or MAP usage, but does not allow a "NEITHER" option. Is this a problem ?

EDIT : So I thought I would try an dload the latest firmware. This is the response I got, which I guess implies that at least there was some type of communication going on ?

Yep, Sorry. I cant get my laptop to connect with the MJlite jnr. It is installed in the car and the Green light comes on when the ignition is switched on. I have tried connecting using my laptop which has a Belkin USB/Serial Adapter and also another Laptop which has a plain old serial connector. I a...

Sounds like your wire is only hot when the key is on. You need a lead that is hot in START and RUN. Good luck. Yep, thanks. I id go for a ignition live back at the key barrel, but it appears that this drops 12volts while cranking. But now I have used the Live from the old Coil +ve and it starts (an...

So now I am a bit confused.

I have found an ignition live directly off the Igntion barrel (yellow wire). However, if I connect the edis directly to the battery and a ground, then the car will run, BUT if I then use the live off the ignition barrel it will not fire up.

Any ideas ?

I have removed the coil/dizzy setup from the Pinto engine now and have had it running with the Coil Pack and edis4, but without the MJ yet. All I did was to wire direct to the battery (with a fuse) to make sure the trigger wheel/sensor and all was working correctly. It starts so much better than wit...

Bit further to travel, but I know that Northampton Motorsport will rolling road a MegaJolt
