thanks for the follow up. What do your plugs look like after the drive? are the clean or fouled?

Some good news and bad.... I was tinkering on the driveway a few weeks ago and by chance, as it was getting dark, I noticed one of my ignition leads was arcing out! I decided to go the whole hog and got a custom set of leads made up by Magnacor as I assumed this must be the cause of the problem. £90...

Tried swapping in old one too. brand new coil pack. swapped EDIS module. that's the entire EDIS system swapped and the problem...

Weak/occasionally no spark problem....

Hi all. Had megajolt on my 1989 190e 16v for around 18months. Had it mapped at a rolling road to set up (along with my 48dcoe webers) and been good as gold ever since. Use the car at weekends mostly. Last weekend - running like a champ. This weekend - start it and lumpy on idle almost like missing. ...

There are tools for crimping these connectors- I believe that is the ideal approach, providing you can get a proper, tight crimp. Having the right tool matters here. Some will use hand tools to manually crimp the connector over the wires, and then solder. I believe this to be a good alternative, bu...

Whoops, apologies for not paying attention to who was posting what! :oops: No probs - just glad you're here! :) When cranking *and* the sensor is plugged in to the wiring harness, do you get a voltage reading at the sensor? Silly question: where do I take the reading from if the sensor is plugged i...

I had the car running on Megajolt (well!) last year and aside from the head gasket swap and moving the battery to the boot, the car is unchanged from the last time I drove it. Think this could well be the problem, have you used a common ground for all the megajolt/ford bits ? Try running a wire fro...

That's great you figured it out! now enjoy your new system :) Er, this was my thread and my system still isnt working! :lol: After a frustrating day of testing, this is where I am: When I bench test the VR sensor, it seems to be working, or at least doing something. Checking the terminals while hol...

strange no spark problem

Hi all. 1989 Mercedes 190e 2.5 16v. Was running on megajolt a-ok last year. Did a head gasket and some detailing work to the bay over Xmas and recently tried to fire her up. Initially, she almost went, but ran out of fuel, next day I returned with a Billy can expecting it to fire up - but no luck!? ...
