Grounding the ECU to anything other than the engine or the battery is not a good idea unless you know you have a very good ground path to the battery. You also need to have a very good ground strap to the engine if that is what you use as a grounding point. It's also a good idea to ground the WBO2 controller to the same point as the ECU.

OK, so i should not ground the ECU to the bodywork.

What were the "slightly melted plastic fuse cases" associated with ??? Sorry if that sounds a stupid question but... Rod. The 5 amp fuse for the fuel pump and a 25 amp for the coil pack were a bit iffy. I think that the fuel pump one was a bit on the small side, so upped that to 10 amp. The coil pack one.......... well I think that may be another clue. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

The coil pack resistance measures 0.6 ohms as it should.

25A! I'm sure I've seen 15A quoted, as for the fuel pump 10A as below. I dont know why I've got 25a for the coil pack, but I've just changed it for a 10a. A minute or so of cranking did not blow it. I bought a pack of fuses by Blackspur off ebay. They are crap. You can put them in OK but when you try to remove them for inspection, the plastic bit comes of and the thin metal conductor gets bent. This then creates a weak point that fails before the actual fuse link! Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Just something to consider I tried the MS recommended maximums of 6.0 & 3.5 this afternoon. If it not the coil pack, then the engine is coming out!

OK, So what ignitor chips are in your MS - the standard VB921 chips are internally limited to 7amps so should not melt a 20Amp fuse holder The ISL9V5036P3 (which i'm going to use and some of the MS suppliers are now supplying instead anyway) are not current limited so need the fuse, and if the dwell is set wrong they will pull too much current and cook the fuse and/or coilpack. Rod. Mine is definately fitted with the VB921 ignition drivers. I've just looked at the fuse case agian and it may be a manufacturing fault rather than overheating. I know that I did blow a fuse supplying the coil pack when I had a problem previously due to some poor wiring. That must have been when I fitted the 25.

its possible to cook a coil with 921's I've done it. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

Both the VB921s are in the box and come out through the DB37 connector.
