Hi All,

I have a strange issue with my IAT. The car is running fine, but on the logs rather than a smooth-ish line, it's more like a saw tooth trace. And every now and then (rhythmically) the temp spikes down 4-5 degrees but just for a split second before coming back up again. The odd thing is ...

Hi All,
All the tutorial/youtube info I've seen tells me that when initially setting up TunerStudio and installing an LC-1 wideband hago, you choose 'LC-1 Wideband' from the drop down menu....
All I seem to get in the setup options (ver 2.0.8 ) is Lambda, Narrowband Sensor and Wideband.

Is it ...

I've been doing some research :RTFM: and it seems the UK version is a larger grey block affair (part No. 93AB-12A019-AB). But it's only rated at 20uf as apposed to 25uf your side of the pond..???

I can get a brand new 25uf +/-5% 450Vac film capacitor stud mounted for the same price as a second hand ...

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the advice, I was wondering if an electrolytic would be right.

Unfortunately I'm in the UK and there's not much on the British ebay at the moment. I'll try a local breakers yard.

Ah-ha, sort of like I had imagined. My dilemma now is ..... Should I source a Ford F6AF-18801-AA or would an electrolytic 25uf capacitor do?

I might have dived off the deep end accusing the person who sold me the engine of cutting up the loom...... What I actually have is a complete Engine loom ...

Hmmm.... Don't think I've got one of those. It's a bit odd, not like the later mondeo setup with the square block with the HT leads coming out of it. This has 2 coil packs and on the bottom of each is a plug cap. And on the top another HT lead comes out for another cylinder. So it's 1 and 4 and 2 ...

Thanks for that.

I haven't put the ford ignition loom under scrutiny yet, but I was assuming if there was one it would part of the ign coils and not obvious.
Would it matter if I added one anyway? In other words would 2 be detrimental?

Hi all and thanks for looking at this thread.

I'm soon going to be wiring up my Microsquirt to a RS2000 16v engine fitted with throttle bodies which is in a kit car. This engine as standard runs an EDIS4 unit with 2 plug top coil packs. Looking at the Microsquirt wiring diagram for EDIS connections ...
