timings out and no rad fitted so it was only a 5 second run but it sounded smooth and no smoke i noticed.

just need to get some welder gas to get things on the move agian! ran out today welding the engine mounts on so there only tacked in! still smiling like a cheshire cat tho

Nice work, always a relief to hear it run especially if work has been done on it, but...... We need proof :)

Hi mate glad you hear you got it running. were the diagrams that dave made correct or did they need tweaking, just so we know for the good of all. I'm glad the module worked fine, it run fine on the sierra when i got it but it was out in the damp shed for quite a while guess it cant be that damp :D.

Car engine bays tend to be damp anyway :rolleyes:

saying the shed it was in, is damp could have been understatement of the year :D the thing would be more waterproof without a roof lol.

yeah spot on ash, with the exception of that "ballast resistor" is actually a supressor but no biggie

[twinturbo]

Yep no ballast on a sierra.

oh well didnt really look to see what it was tbh, the main thing is that you got the car going ok.
