Hi David

Yes I beleive you can use the Megasquirt for spark only. There are a few options available to suit just about any budget.

Number Two son, has visions of fitting bike carbs to his spare Vauxhall Calibra XEV engine.

Hmm I see a plan forming - dam stop it David, build the car first! I've been involved in injecting two previous engines, allthough we had the luxury of a Motec M400 to play with. Even thought we had over £1k of ECU to play with it's amazing how simple things like a poor connection in the loom can cause all manner of troubles - been there, done it, spent 54 hours with out sleep trying to find the problem!

Unhappy Faulty connections

Yes, faulty connections can be a real problem to detect. Even more so when they are of an intermitent nature.

Having worked on a fair bit of marine electrics. I have over the years learnt to carefully solder each joint or connection & then seal with heat shrink tubing wherever possible.

If I am in one of my anal moods, i'll do a continuity test as well .
