Shielded wires

[Slick]

Does the EDIS require the SAW/PIP and the VRS wires to be shielded? Also, does the Coil Pack require the radio suppression bits hooked up? Just curious, cause my car aint running any form of stereo, the only music i'll hear is whats being emmitted from the exhaust. Which on this car is less then 2 feet from my left ear.
Cheers,

you should shield the saw/pip and the vrs sensor so that signals are not picked up from your spark plugs or any other emi or rf producing things, the coil does not need supression though

If I remember correctly radio suppression (ie the capacitor on the coil) is a requirement for the British SVA test. If your not from GB then you should check your local regulations

Now, the real problem is where to get this "shielded" wire. I've tried some local suppliers and they dont seem to have any. So, anyonw know where i might find some, i'm in Vancouver, BC.

Thanks,

Any general purpose electronics store will sell shielded wire. It is typical multiple strands of wire, wrapped with a mesh of bare wire or foil. This mesh or shield, is then covered with the plastic tube normally covering a multi wire cable.

You can get some at the dreaded Radio Shack. They only had two conductor in the online catalog, fine for the pickup to the EDIS. I used three for the EDIS to MegaJolt, but that may not be necessary. You should be able to order three conductor there, or get it off the shelf at a more industry oriented store than Radio Shack.

You should find a store where they sell microphones and stuff for music installations, there you will find shielded wire.
