Hi from Australia and compliments of the season. Did the HEI mod on my Eunos without much success. Fitted a Bosch external coil as per the diagram. Car now runs for about five minutes then stops. Tacho goes to zero and both thermal fans come on. Switch ignition off and back on, car will restart for ...

Here in Victoria, OZ, the only reason they can seize a car is if you're checked doing more than 45kph over any limit or doing some 'circle work'. As for unreasonable noise, the officer has to witness the noise and deem it to be unreasonable for a person to be charged. They are first given a directiv...

Went to an auto electrician today and bought the wrong ig. module! Too keen for my own good. Bought a Ford one but when you read the instructions it uses a pulse generator on the engine rather than the ECU trigger. Doh! Will have to wait 'til next week and order in the correct one. Got the only one ...

Did you run the engine and remove the lead? Either the engine will change tune or the temp gauge will stop working. The senders will be different depending on the job they do. Maybe go to a wrecker and find one the same out of a wreck? Cheers.

It is either the sender for the temp gauge or for the Engine Computer so it knows what amount of fuel to inject. Disconnect it and if the motor runs like a dog it is the ECU. If not, the temp gauge. P.S. Tunes67 I have another question in 'head scratcher' if you have a minute. Cheers.

Jim, the water goes in and under the trim panels on the inside of the windscreen. Then runs down the inside of those, under the kick panels/carpet in footwell and runs under the seat to the lowest point. It doesn't really have an odor other than that 'wet' smell. I don't think it would be a side win...

Jim, I was thinking about it later and realised that with that set up, if you do isolate the internal module, you won't get a tacho signal. Perhaps they work in synq and the set up makes it more reliable? I am going to take the plunge in the next few days. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Cheers.

I had a similar problem with my 94. Flexing of the body and age of the sealant at the windscreen caused water to get in at both top corners. i had to 'gently' remove the black cover over the actual seal and reseal around the screen. While the goop was drying I replaced the cover so as to adhere to t...

Tunes 67 or anyone with knowledge on the subject. I notice in the diagrams regarding the addition of the module, that it appears you tap into the signal wires to connect the ig. mod. Why doesn't the original module within the dist. interfere with the new one or vice versa. Or is that something where...

Thanks, tunes, I will have a good read before I attempt anything. I'm fairly handy around cars/bikes but there's nothing like personal ownership to find out the quirks. Thanks again, Craig from OZ.

I have a stock 1994 30 X. It broke down recently and the Mazda dealer said it gave a distributor fault code and replaced it. Ran for awhile then broke down again. Another crowd, again said distributor and replaced the replacement! It had already had a replacement ECU, new alternator, new battery, ne...
