bizarre isnt the word!

PIP/SAW wire runs along the bulk head. nowhere near anything other than the brake servo.

the engine ran fine on the old plugs then started to miss, so i changed them for the excat same ones. and it made no difference...

The rev counter on the car is wired from the megajolt.

Yeah the map sensor did as you describe.
I have checked the PIP/SW wire and can't see any damage, but I'll check again.

Thank you for the help

ok

just ran the car with it at 2k. the runtime graph is all over the place.

the map sensort reading stays pretty constant, but the rev and ignition advance jump about all over the place. but the rev counter on my clocks in the car stay quite still.

stuck for ideas now,


thanks chris
