Thread: efi conversion

Did you swap distributors?
If so, have you double checked it's not 180deg out?

Have you connected the wire from coil + to the ECU that tells the ECU that the car has started?
Have you pressed down the inertia switch?

Theres one to the negative side of the coil, there were no wires heading to the positive side in the harness. should it be one the positive?

whats/where is the inertia switch? (I assume thats for the auto to tell if the cars in park?)

thanks

No the inertia switch cuts off the fuel if you have an accident. In a 89 on it is under the passenger seat.

Re the coil to ECU -I was wrong it is coil negative to ECU , so there should be one wire from the amplifier and one to the ECU

Now I am not sure it is applicable , but when I fitted a "federal" injection it had a connection from the coil(NEGATIVE) to ECU and I had a look at the USA diagram for an 87 which is a 1CU , which is different.

Can someone have a look at their flapper and see if there is a wire from coil - to ECU as well as the one to the distributor?

No there isn`t one in an 86 and as far as know no AU or UK flapper RR had them , flapper Jags with a very similar system all had them but they are cars .

My flapper manual say`s it`s a 1990 publication .

Heard the news that the cars is running

I'm back at work in Rockhampton the cars in Sydney, when i got the call i was was so excited i was jumping around and broke the gf's bed

my dad and a good mate of mine (Dave - Guru036) replaced the coolant temp switch and got all the ballast/resitors from another rangie and swapped the coil & distributor.

thanks to all, for the info. Espically Dave (not sure of username) who emailed me the 86 fuel injection manual, the 'pit crew' said it was a great help
