It is the FIDLE and yes its for 2 relays in parallel, i measured the current to operate them and its circa 350ma so it looks like I can drive both directly from the MS

Anyone know what current the cooling fan output on the MS2 can handle, I know it can only operate a relay but will it handle 350ma ?

When I got the ECU Phil said it would be semi sequential, IE 4 outputs same as the wasted spark and fire 2 injectors at a time at least I think so. That made it semi sequential I believe or am I wrong. Anyway long and short is its running well sort of and will hopefully be much better once Shaun has...

Done that, its deffo half engine speed and is on the odd number bank, its not clattering like a bag of spanners but is defineatly not quite right, was thinking of changing the oil after using one of those Wynns type engine flush to see if that unsticks anything.

Thoughts?

Anyone any ideas?

OK its a wasted spark semi sequential system, engine is a 6.3L chevy and its running about 2.8 ms on idle with the 575cc injectors and I have it at about 13 on the AFR guage so it appears all is well. Just waiting for the Guru to come and pass his magic PC over the ECU

Ok peeps finally got the Money Pitt running again but I have what sounds like a noisy tappet I assume it's one of the hydraulic lifters that is not filling properly any ideas how to resolve?

Engine is an SBC with a 6.3 stroker kit

I bought mine from a company call Trigger Wheels and they are a UK company, not a huge range but they do deliver quick

All sorted turned out to be a bad joint on one of the wires going into coil pack 3, so I now have a spare GEMS coilpack

New coil pack it is then, the money pit continues to live up to its name

Reason I ask is that's if I swap leads 1 and 6 the fault moves, it's the only common point as far as I can see

Welcome to the madhouse

When they go faulty do they fail on just one output or both, I seems to have a coil pack that is providing an output on one turret but not the other? Been swapping leads around and proved it, I have another on the way but it did seem strange to me.
