Electrified Mustang (blame the carby)

<< < (2/3) > >>

cpu:
I'm guessing that he had effectively powered up the coil via the Tacho.  The way the electronics works in a Tacho it would have basically:

A: Not have had full 12volts to coil
B: effectively shorted the B+ side of the coil to ground via the tacho electronics when he got off the throttle.

What do ya expect at 2.30 in the morning.  Bloody S key and Z key are just to close together at that hour :smile:

sms777:
 You are correct cpu, that is exactly what he has done.
Took us a while to figure out since he has used kilometers of black electrical tape to neatly hide all the wires.

Now it runs as good as a Mustang ever will  :zip:

That bad huh!  :smile:



When I rebuilt the Corvette I had an interesting one.

Driving home one day and had to put the wipers on.  That was fine then I turned them off.  They went to the park position and then started to go again.  I pulled over to have a look see, went to get out of the car and the wipers stopped.  I thinks to myself, "hmmm loose wire somewhere, I'll look at it when I get home."  

Further down the road the same happens again, so I pull over again, open the door to get out and they park themselves again.  "Hang on" I says to myself, "every time I open the door the wipers work correctly."  "Maybe a neat feature but I really cant have it that I have to open and close my door every time"

So how was the door and wiper circuits related?  I neglected to connect an earth on the wiper circuit and it found it's own earth, tho it be a bad one, via the interior light circuit which is only active when you open the door.  Only took me minutes to fix it but hours to trace it out on the circuit diagram to find the circuit relationship.  I just had to know.
