The 'E' Type Forum

We have just tried to get a reading on the laptop with the programme downloaded, and the ignition on. Nothing, so we checked all the connections, all good. I went back the autosports recommendations and see that they recommend their "tested: usb connector at 15 dollars plus 46 dollars postage.The co...

Thanks for that info, just checked with my local shop, two plugs only and only one in the warehouse?typical !!!Will let you know how it all goes..pretty sure it's too much advance though?thanks once again

Yes, I have the resistor type, but bought on guesswork, just checked the Denso website and it looks as if these I have are fairly hot ones, but couldnd.t reference these particular ones which are graded K20TXR,..rolling road facilities are rare around here, one of the local diagnostic guys made rema...

Having a running on problem since fitting my Edis, cannot find anyone who wants or knows how to check the programme, so I wonder if I need a colder plug?.any recommendations from Edis users ??

All ok, can't believe that I am the only one to go down this route though.The two white wires get linked together, and the green which fed the tach originally, is used again on the single spade left there by Speedy cables. This gives the feed back to the coils via the feed from no. 7. Engine fired i...

Thanks for that Christopher but my Haynes shows the white wire coming from the feed side of the no.7 fuse, then to the tacho, then on to the + side of the coil,I am going to assume this carries current to the coil, so will link it to the other white wire which should earth out and give me the warnin...

Autosports lab sold me their "amplifier" which I have soldered in to the coilpack feeds as Ray suggested,There is no supply now to the original white wire to the plus side of the old coil, so I need to link the green with one or both of the whites that go into the jackplug?I will see which white giv...

Ray doesn't include the diode board required to make the tacho work on a series two, easier to solder in when the loom is out?I noticed the connector block to the back of my tacho has two white wires, and one green, the green goes to the no 7 fuse, so is live, one white wire goes to the other spade,...

Running the engine up today I am aware that through one thousand to two thousand rpm the engine checks momentarily at least two times , and when driving, the tach drops down to zero, engine checks then picks up again...under hard acceleration, the check is more noticeable, as if the ignition or powe...

Problem solved...poor connection..immediate start up, and lumpy tick over is now a thing of the past, will take it up the 303 next week and see how it goes Typical of me to have to remove the trigger wheel after forgetting to loop the polygroove belt around the pulley ..however !! got a more uniform...

Edis only producing a spark on no 6...what have I done wrong..info says ten thou gap is ideal, but on google I read that gap is good at 1 m/m...engine started then backfired and died after running for a few seconds ...checked everything to find I had crossed 5 and 6 on the coil pack, because I was N...

Looks like I have the left sensor as the mount is stepped whereas the two lower bolts on the right side of engine are both on the same vertical plane...BUT!! the bolts are the same size which rules it out for both sides !! have emailed Ray..

Thanks, you're right, pick up mounting is exactly on the two bolts plus spacer required for the alternator, so, looks like I will be looking for a customer for a discounted Edis !!

Having just received Rays kit and started reading the literature, made a start today to realise that the viscous crank damper I bought and fitted some years ago has a three bolt configuration on the alloy polygroove bottom belt pulley, instead of the four which connect the trigger wheel. Ray has sug...

A fly tipping enforcer is a guy who locates rubbish dumped in lay bys, ditches etc and attempts to identify where it came from and who tipped it. Running a spinner up hand tight on my front offside wheel one day, couldn't locate my copper hammer so left the car on the jack for a couple of weeks and ...

Just thought I would put up a post on this subject as a guy came up to me the other day when i was out in the E and told me he was a fly tipping enforcer for the local council and had picked up a two eared spinner on a lane near Axminster. I asked him if he was sure it was a jag one, so he dropped i...
