Capri 2.1 Pinto Running (updated pictures)

Post by capri_turbo »

Well... I finally got it fitted and running today. Was a lot easier than I thought it would be too. I have 1 problem though which is quite major... the contact between the EDIS4 and it's multiplug is very poor and the car keeps cutting out and won't restart as a result. Breaking the connection and remaking a few times gets it running, but I can't go on like that... I'll be cleaning it all up tomorrow and will try to tighten the contacts somehow.

Maybe it doesn't lock

Maybe it doesn't lock because the plastic is broken. <a target=")blank" href="http://www.fordfuelinjection.com">www.fordfuelinjection.com</a> have new plugs if the price is right for you. It could also be oxidation, which you can cure by sanding, acid, and a coat of electric grease.

It's locking together fine

it is the pins that are loose in the sockets when the thing is together... going to have a fiddle with it later... cleaning and trying to tighten up the pins a bit.

Now running reliably

After a few inital problems with the EDIS connector not making a good contact, the Capri is now up and running on the MJLJ unit and what a difference it has made compared with the distributor...

I'd like to thank Brent for designing the MJLJ unit and 4600cc for his tuning software.
