like someone already said....

the metro ecu has NOTHING to do with the ignition...

All it does is alter the boost, so rip it out and run a bleed vlave!

nope!

Remove that as well... all the "control valve solenod" is act as an electronic bleed valve. So in effect you remove the ecu and its output, replacing it with a user adjustable device.

BEWARE

"2 wires... st8 onto the coil... one is positive and the other negative! "

ONLY if not running a ballast resistor !!!

if you have a Ballast resistor
take the 12v from the fuse box to the dizzy rather than the coil + as you dont get a full 12v

The only coil you can run with this system is a 12v coil *wink*

But good point steve !!
