Bench Testing
I have built my V3 controller and all seems well... it comunicates with mjtuner_0.2.2.160_preview and I have been able to upload a map to it ok. My question is this... just sat on the bench, the map reading ia 102kPa as expected... now... I fitted some tube to the map sensor and sucked... I was able...

VR sensor
Does the VR sensor have to come from the same car that you get the EDIS4 from? I have got 2 VR sensors and they have different resistances. I understood that it doesn't really matter... if it does, I'll have to get the one from the XR2 that I got the edis unit from...

it is above the throttle
on the 32/36DGAV and the 38DGAS... but only by a couple of millimeters or so... the reason for this is the original vacuum advance mechanism is not supposed to see any vacuum at idle, but when running at higher revs there is vacuum there at light and closed throttle conditions. I have measured the v...

heres a theory for you
I take it you are using the vacuum pipe that originally linked the carb to the dizzy... Now, as you say, this vacuum point is above the throttle plates, and therefore is not seeing the same vacuum levels as the manifold... I'd suggest taking the vacuum input to the MJLJ directly from the manifold an...

Got the photos
They will be a big help. Thinking about the figures you are seeing... 100kPa is atmospheric pressure, so you should see this at full throttle... the thing to remember is that the MJLJ map sensor is absolute... so 100kPa on this would read 0inHg on my vacuum gauge. I'll hook up my gauge tomorrow and ...

Got the pictures
They will help me a huge amount. Which vacuum take off point are you using? I'm getting a bit confused with the figures now... I'll hook up a vacuum gauge to my 2.1's 38DGAS and see what I get tomorrow.

Looking at those maps
surely "152" is WOT (e.g. 100kPa ish.)as this is where the advance is less, and "0" is fully closed throttle 20kPa ish.) and the advance is cranked up like the vacuum advance capsule would do on a standard dizzy. Can someone confirm this? I'll email Matt Dearden to see if he can ...

Thanks for the reply
I'm using the proper case etc. You couldn't e mail me a photo of the crank sensor location and bracket? colin@ford-capri.fsnet.co.uk I have a "spare" engine to work it all out on... how did you mount the trigger wheel? I have a sierra CVH one that I was going to weld to the front pulley. I...

What MAP are you using?
I am having great difficulty finding a starter map for my pinto powered Capri that uses a MAP sensor... all the ignition maps I have found so far are TPS... I'd be interested to know how you get on, as I am going MJLJ very soon... just awaiting parts now...

Thanks
I've asked our electronics guys at work and they said the same... as the pulley is constant... i.e. solid (no teeth), it'll not alter the readings of the VR sensor...

Sierra trigger wheel mounting and VR sensor
I have a Sierra CVH cast timing wheel which I am going to fit to the botton pulley of a 2 litre Ford SOHC (Pinto) pulley. My question is this: The timing wheel is only 5mm bigger than the pulley, so basically the "teeth" only protrude by 2.5 to 3mm from the pulley. Will the VR sensor be af...

Thanks guys... it's off
the spanner method is most efficient.

Sierra 1.8 CVH front pulley
As title. I have the bottom pulley off said vehicle with 36 -1 trigger wheel attached... I need to get the trigger wheel removed from the pulley so I can attach it to my front pulley... any ideas as to how to get it off? tried a puller, but it won't fit. My next idea was to take it to a machine shop...

I have a few Maps
the engine is a Ford Pinto 2 litre. I have various maps which all have figures ranging from 0 to 152 etc. in the map bins. I take it that WOT on a TPS is 0 and 152 would be fully closed throttle? Looking at the advance figures, I'm not so sure. Can I simply change the TPS numbers... i.e. 0 to 152 to...

TPS and MAP figures
If a map has been created with figures for a TPS in the map bins, is it safe to use it on a system running with a map sensor. I take it the figres entered in the map bins for a map sensor are in kPa, so this leads me to beleive that maps written around a TPS will not be suitable. can anyone confirm ...
