    Anyone relocated their resistor pack on V8 3.5 EFI RR?

    a bit of an extention of discowhite's post "new info for erratic idle problem! 3.5efi"

    Anyone relocated their resistor pack on V8 3.5 EFI RR?

    Reason why I ask, mine gets very warm next to the exhaust manifold and then starts to missfire.

    When I return home with it missing I have a mates spare resistor pack and it runs as smooth as, once swapped to the cooler resistor pack.

    Can anyone also explain why we need the resistor pack? From what I understand single signal for each bank of cylinders does in and 4 signals come out - but I have been told that all fire at the same time (flapper type injection)?

    Any ideas?

    Be really carefull with the coil. The ECU gets it's engine speed/tacho input from the coil and it is easy to confuse it. Your in Brisbane aren't you? if so go and see Murray at Jag and Rover and get a coil and amp set up of a low k late model Jap import.

    Ok Ive relocated the ignition module, but i had one problem!
    between 70 and 80k's the car started to surge, this problem was
    not there before so what had i done?
    to cut the story down when i insulated the wires that i ran to the module
    the problem was no more. all i can think is that there was interfearance
    from the alternator and or the HT leads.

    please correct me if im wrong. :?:

    Make sure the unit is well earthed and make sure the wires are twisted around each other for the entire length to provide some EMI shielding, run the wires as far away from alternator and HT leeds as possible to stop ingress.
