Checked all wiring and its as it should be.
Still no rpm showing and no control over ign advance.
Voltage at pip static is 14v and 7v when running.
Any deas other than chuck it in the bin and buy a competitive unit?

Right, i've checked the supply to the MJ and thats wired correctly. I've checked the PIP & SAW connections and they're wired to the correct pins on the Molex plug. I've checked the voltage for PIP at pin 6 of the Molex and thats 12V. STILL no rpm showing in the configutator and STILL no ign adva...

Thanks Alex, will check and let you know; i'm always meticulous about connections but have been known to get them wrong. Trouble is, it's sometimes hard to see ones own mistakes! 8)

No rpm shwing in configiratir...

Hi, Have installed MJLJ in basic mode ie Ford Edis and MJLJ with simple +ve, -ve, pip and saw connections. Now, the edis must be working as the timing is rock steady at 10 btdc with the MJLJ disconnected. However, when i plug the MJLJ in, i don't get anything showing on the rpm dial in tbe configura...

Thanks, i'll put it in exactly as you advise. I know you're right, but i'm trying to get my head around this being the 'wide open' settings as when i took them, i was revving the engine in the garage and the throttle was only slightly open as there was no load on the motor; am i right in thinking th...

Cheers bud,
Forgive me if i sound a bit naive, but do the 100kpa readings i have represent no-load and therefore lo pressure/hi vacuum and are therefore the initial readings that go in the bottom of the ign map? :?

Cheers bud,
I had disconnected the vacuum line when i took the readings; does that help at all or, are my readings still against an unknown load?
I'm running a lairy cam (on cam at circa 2700 rpm) with twin solex C40 ADDHE's so it's not a 'normal' setup!

Cheers, 8) :P

Setting initial advance values...

Hi, I've installed the MJLJ and so i can replicate my 'standard' ignition setup as a good start point i've measured the advance at static then for every 500 rpm increment thereon by increasing the engine speed whilst in the garage ie presumably no load(?). I've then put these values into an ignition...

Smiths RVC rev counter - driver board not working.

Hi, Still not having any luck with the above wired in with my MJLJ - rev counter works fine on the original coil system, but no joy at all on the MJ. I've tried 'pull-up' and 'pull-down' resistors on the i/p to the tacho and have even 'flashed' the tacho to see if +12v would have any effect; it does...

Thanks, My only problem would be that i'm keeping the original HT system installed too "just in case" the MJ packs in then i can easily flick two switches (one switches the +ve between the original coil and the MJ/EDIS system and the other selects the tacho i/p from either the original coi...

Disillusioned...

Tried connecting the tach out of the MJ to my tacho and still doesn't work :evil: :? Any more ideas or suggestions anyone? Also, still cannot get my laptop to see or open the com port; it has 4 usb ports and when i plug in the usb/serial adaptor, it acknowledges the hardware but won't let me access ...
